 Why Muscle Is Your Metabolic BFF 💪🏼

Jul 03, 2025

Let’s talk about one of the most underrated organs in your body: muscle.

Nope, we’re not talking bodybuilder biceps or abs that can grate cheese—we mean functional, protective, longevity-boosting muscle.
Why? Because your muscle mass acts like:

✅ A glucose sink—stabilizing blood sugar
✅ A metabolic engine—burning more calories at rest
✅ A hormone helper—boosting insulin sensitivity and testosterone
✅ An anti-aging shield—linked to reduced inflammation and lower mortality

✨Even better? When your muscle is nourished + activated (hi, walking, resistance bands, Pilates, and enough protein)—your mitochondria, brain, bones, and even your skin benefit too.


 

 

Wellness Girlie Tip of the Week 👯‍♀️

📦 Order your groceries like a dietitian ninja:
When building your cart this week, try this:
🔸 Add 1-2 lean proteins (wild salmon, organic chicken, hemp tofu)
🔸 Include 2+ leafy greens (bonus points for bitter greens—hello, liver support)
🔸 Choose 1 fermented food (sauerkraut, coconut yogurt, or miso)
🔸 Grab magnesium-rich snacks (pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate, almonds)
🔸 Toss in a sprinkle of minerals—like LMNT, Ultima, or Cell Salts 💧

Your mitochondria will thank you.


 

 

Trending Research We’re Watching 👀

🧠 Muscle and mood are connected.
New research shows that strength training helps regulate GABA, a calming neurotransmitter that supports nervous system balance. (Translation: squats = more chill.)

📈 Mitochondrial health =  energy + immunity.
Low muscle mass is correlated with reduced mitochondrial output—aka you might feel “wired but tired.”
Support your mitochondria with:

  • Targeted amino acids (like glycine and carnitine)

  • Sauna or infrared sessions

  • Protein, electrolytes, rest. Repeat.

🎙️The Importance of Positive Self-Talk
We often focus on nutrition, movement, and sleep when it comes to wellness, but one of the most powerful influences on our health is something we carry with us every moment of the day: our inner dialogue. The way we speak to ourselves can either support healing or keep the body stuck in fight or flight mode. Today, we’re exploring why positive self-talk is not just uplifting but a foundational ...
😴 Why a proper sleep routine is essential for the body 💤
Sleep isn’t just “rest.” It’s when your brain detoxes, hormones reset, muscles repair, and your nervous system finally shifts out of survival mode. If falling asleep feels hard or you wake up tired, your body may just need a more intentional wind-down routine. Here’s how to set your system up for deep, restorative sleep. Step 1: Reduce evening stimulants  Your brain requires it to be signaled ...
📍The Wellness Guide for Busy People
We’re taught to push through busy seasons, but rarely taught how to fuel them. The truth is simple: high output requires high input. Stress, busy schedules, workouts, mental load, caregiving — all of these increase the body’s demand for nutrients and recovery. When output rises but input stays the same, the nervous system, hormones, and energy systems start to feel the strain. This is where man...
