#443:How to Reclaim YOUTHFUL Muscle: Microbes, Sleep, Belly Fat (and the Real Fix for Modern Aging) | Dr. William Davis

Today, I’m joined by Dr. William Davis, a cardiologist-turned-gut detective and bestselling author behind Wheat Belly, Super Gut, and Super Body. In this episode, Dr. Davis breaks down what it really means to have youthful, functional muscle, why maintaining the muscle of your 20s and 30s is about so much more than hitting the gym, and how missing microbes—like L. reuteri—might be the secret to restoring your strength and energy.

With a background in geriatrics and nutritional sciences, she illuminates why the quality of your muscle tissue is a far more powerful predictor of health than any number on the scale. Her perspective challenges the notion of a “healthy sedentary person” and reveals the major role of intramuscular fat in metabolic dysfunction.
