Building Healthy Muscle: What You Can Do to Safeguard Against Gestational Diabetes

Diet and exercise culture tends to prioritize calorie restriction and calorie burning via cardio workouts. While fat loss is beneficial, building and maintaining healthy muscle mass is also crucial for metabolic health and longevity.

🎤 For A Whole New Level, @drgabriellelyon and @drcaseyskitchen discuss Lyon’s book “Forever Strong: A New Science-Based Strategy for Aging Well,” why strength-training should be a priority for workout routines, how muscle is the body’s metabolic currency, and why boosting protein intake aids in adding and preserving muscle mass.

💪 “Skeletal muscle is going to increase your survivability against nearly all diseases,” Dr. Lyon says. “The loss of skeletal muscle is likely more critical than the impact of gaining fat. So this changes the paradigm of thinking.”

📒 “There are so many people I want to give this book to who are feeling stuck in their health journey,” Dr. Means says. “I genuinely believe the missing piece is that they’re not focusing on muscle. And what’s so cool about muscle is that it’s something you put into your life rather than take out of your life.”

✅ Lyon recommends making this one change to your exercise routine:
“If you have done yoga, Pilates, or walking for years, and your body composition has stayed the same,” Lyon says, “then the metabolic input that you are putting into the system is not enough for the outcome that you are looking for.”

She adds, “If you are doing your cardio every day and you’re going to the gym, that’s amazing. But I’d like you to swap out three days a week for some kind of resistance training.”
