The number one thing a man can do to protect his health

The number one thing a man can do to protect his health as he ages is to lift weights. Muscle is the foundation of metabolic health. Muscle contains millions of mitochondria which are the power plants of our cells…….they provide energy, increase basal metabolic rate, burn calories 24/7, and protect against insulin resistance which leads to progressive weight gain and fosters the formation of disease.

Optimizing testosterone, taking in enough protein, and lifting weights 4 days per week for 1 hour are critical to creating/maintaining muscle.

Our focus at The Men’s Clinic is metabolic health……..gaining muscle, losing fat, decreasing inflammation, strenthening the gut microbiome, and improving sleep. If getting healthy from a foundational level interests you, hit the link below.
