Muscle Strengthening & Brain Health

Why Resistance Training & Other Muscle Building Activities Are Good For The Brain & The Prevention of Dementia.

Likely you’ve heard about the importance of muscle strengthening in the prevention of bone health. What is less known, however, is the relationship between the health of our muscles and the health of our brain. In this podcast, I’ll address:

  • Evolution and the types of activity that our bodies were designed for

  • Causes of sarcopenia or muscle loss

  • The relationship between sarcopenia, cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s

  • How role our muscles play in blood sugar regulation and lowering inflammation

  • Low grip strength as a marker of psychiatric illness and neurodegeneration

  • Building muscle and address oxidative stress
