Rethinking Muscle – Everyday Wellness

Rethinking Muscle: Its Role in Metabolic Health, Brain Function, and Healthy Aging

In this episode of Everyday Wellness with Nurse Bev, Bev reframes how we think about muscle and why it plays a far more central role in health than most people realize.

Muscle isn’t just about strength or appearance. It’s one of the most metabolically active tissues in the body, influencing how we regulate blood sugar, how our brain functions, and how well we maintain independence and resilience as we age.

This conversation connects the dots between muscle, metabolism, cognitive health, and longevity, offering a more complete picture of why maintaining and building muscle is essential across the lifespan.
