About this listen

In this episode of Sound Living, Dr. Mike Banna speaks with Dr. Tommy Wood, an assistant professor at the University of Washington. They explore the vital role of muscle mass in health, longevity, and cognitive function, emphasizing that strength, rather than mere size, is key to well-being.

Tommy highlights the Fat-Free Mass Index (FFMI) as a more informative health measure than Body Mass Index (BMI) and advocates for resistance training over endurance activities to maximize health benefits. They also discuss protein intake recommendations and aim to dispel myths associated with muscle-building and wellness trends.
