Muscle Is Metabolic Currency with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and Gary Brecka #garybrecka #muscle #health

If we believe that.

Skeletal muscle is metabolic currency.

Which we do.

It's the only currency.

That you have.

To earn, by the way. You can't bargain.

For it, Botox it.

Or do any of these other things.

There's no chemical, there's no synthetic, there's no pharmaceutical for it.

Is the site for glucose disposal. Everybody cares about carbohydrates, where it's going to go.

People care about insulin resistance.

We've all heard.

About insulin resistance.

People care about lipids, triglycerides.

Skeletal muscle is the primary.

Site for glucose disposal.

Fatty acid oxidation. It is an amino.

Acid reservoir.

All of these things.

Is a secretory organ. But the reality is, we think about diseases like cardiovascular.

Disease, Alzheimer's.

Disease, as diseases of aging, but I would argue they're diseases.

Of skeletal muscle.
