The Importance of Muscle for Health and Metabolism

Muscle is crucial for overall health and plays a significant role in metabolism. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses how muscle-centric medicine highlights the importance of muscle over fat. She emphasizes that healthy skeletal muscle is like a filet, while unhealthy muscle can have intramuscular fat. Healthy muscle produces counter regulatory myokines that help buffer inflammation caused by excess body fat.
