The Best Way to Build Muscle for Anti-Ag...

Dr. Jockers
About this episode

In this episode, Dr. Jockers explains why building muscle is key for anti-aging and longevity. Muscle protects against sarcopenia, stabilizes blood sugar, lowers inflammation, and supports brain health through compounds called myokines.

 

Resistance training is the foundation. Learn how to use compound movements, train in the right rep ranges, and recover properly to build strong muscle that lasts instead of chasing short-term gains.

 

Nutrition and fasting are just as important. Dr. Jockers covers protein targets, calorie balance, carb cycling, and intermittent fasting strategies that fuel muscle growth while keeping your body metabolically flexible.
