Episode notes
Muscle's Role in Longevity
- Skeletal muscle is crucial for longevity and overall well-being, acting as an endocrine organ.
- It impacts glucose disposal and releases myokines, influencing various bodily functions.
Biohackers vs. Average Agers
- Most aging studies use unhealthy, sedentary adults as a baseline, skewing results for biohackers.
- Biohackers, who actively pursue health optimization, deviate significantly from these norms.
Measuring Muscle Accurately
- Current methods like DEXA scans don't directly measure skeletal muscle mass or quality.
- Direct measurement requires MRI or CT scans, which are not readily accessible.
