Built to Last: Muscle, Aging, and You
Mon Feb 02 2026
GLP-1 weight loss medications are everywhere right now—but what aren’t people talking about? In this episode, we break down the emerging concern around significant muscle loss associated with GLP-1 drugs and how that can quietly impact metabolism, strength, and long-term health. We also explore the surprising connection to SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and what it means for gut health during rapid weight loss.
From there, we zoom out and talk about muscle strength and aging—why maintaining muscle isn’t just about aesthetics, but about independence, longevity, and quality of life. You’ll learn practical strategies to stay strong as you age, even if you’re starting later than you’d like.
We wrap up with a powerful conversation on personal responsibility in health. No shortcuts, no outsourcing your well-being—just honest discussion about informed choices, sustainable habits, and taking ownership of your body in a world full of quick fixes.
If you care about staying strong, healthy, and in control of your health decisions, this episode is for you.
