Episode notes

Don is joined by Dr. Brad Currier, a leading expert in muscle physiology and human performance with Timeline, for a science-backed conversation on why muscle may be the most important longevity organ in the body.

They break down what the research really says about strength training, aging, and disease prevention, including why even minimal resistance training dramatically lowers the risk of mortality, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic decline. Brad explains the difference between lifespan and healthspan, why muscle power matters as much as muscle mass, and how consistency beats complexity when it comes to training.

The conversation also explores mitochondria, recovery, supplements like creatine and Urolithin A (Mitopure), and the limits of modern biohacking.
