Why Muscle Matters

Welcome to episode 15!

On this episode of The Nest Podcast, I’m joined by my sister, Elyse, as my guest co-host as we discuss “muscle as medicine” and why muscle matters for not only our metabolic health and releasing extra weight, but also as a potent anti-ager, a powerful tool to balance hormones, beat fatigue, boost mood and so much more.

In this episode we cover:

• Our background and history with strength training
• How muscle contributes to overall metabolic health, helping maintain or achieve a healthy body weight
• Muscle as a potent anti-ager and why every woman would want to lift weights
• How muscle helps boost energy and heal fatigue
• Resources for strength training and how to get started
• Cardio vs strength training and why you may want to do less cardio and focus on weights
• How muscle helps to balance hormones and prevent, and help treat chronic illness.
• The mind-body connection with strength training: meditation + confidence + endorphins
• The importance of protein and how to optimally ‘feed’ muscle
• Resources we both personally use and love
