BITESIZE | The Critical Importance of Strength Training | Dr Gabrielle Lyon
Listen on
My guest today believes that if we start to focus and prioritise our largest organ – our muscle – we can burn more fat, improve our body composition, decrease our risk of disease, and increase our energy levels.
Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.
Today’s clip is from episode 296 of the podcast with Dr Gabrielle Lyon – an osteopathic doctor who is board certified in family medicine.
Gabrielle believes that the single biggest problem with our health these days is not that we carry too much fat but that we don’t carry enough muscle.
In this clip, she explains why strength training is critical for our health and how it can help us live longer, stronger, and better lives.
