Show Notes
Today we’re going to talk about something specific when it comes to aging - and that’s the tendency to develop insulin resistance as we age.
Insulin resistance is widespread, with some doctors claiming that most of the population has some level of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is linked to many "age-related" diseases like heart disease and even dementia.
Gaining muscle is one way to improve our insulin sensitivity, which can help us age healthier.
