Is muscle really the secret to aging well—and could new tech make it easier than ever to keep it?

In this episode, I sit down with Alex Birks, a muscle tech innovator, to uncover the surprising truth about muscle health and why it may be the most overlooked key to longevity. We talk about the ways muscle connects to everything from hormones to cardiovascular health, and why losing it accelerates disease, injury, and aging itself. You’ll also hear how Alex’s own devastating injury led him to create a breakthrough wearable, now used by professional athletes and everyday people alike, that makes building and preserving muscle faster and more accessible than ever before.

We go deep into the science of targeted compression training, what it actually does inside your body, and why it can mimic the effects of high-intensity workouts in just minutes. You’ll learn why muscle isn’t about looking bulky, but about living independently, avoiding chronic pain, and keeping your hormones and metabolism in balance. From perimenopause to post-injury recovery, from busy professionals to aging grandparents, this conversation will open your eyes to how muscle health is the missing piece you can’t afford to ignore.
