Muscle isn’t just about strength — it’s a powerful longevity organ. In this episode, Tine Hertz is joined by Mike Mutzel — nutrition expert, functional medicine practitioner, and host of the popular High Intensity Health podcast (https://highintensityhealth.com/podcast/) — to explore why building and maintaining muscle may be the single most important factor in healthy aging.
Together, they dive into:
• Why muscle mass predicts healthspan, resilience, and even cognitive function
• The unique challenges women face after 40 — and why resistance training is non-negotiable during perimenopause and menopause
• Myths around women and strength training, and how to overcome them
• Creatine: one of the most overlooked supplements for energy, strength, and overall well-being
• The rise of GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy, etc.) — and the hidden risks of muscle loss without proper training and nutrition
This conversation blends science and practical takeaways, offering clear strategies for anyone who wants to future-proof their health, body, and mind.
