Time Stamps: 

01:39 Exercise has a huge impact upon disease and death from all causes and overall, all-cause mortality.

02:34 Attia’s Rule: Don’t quibble about nutrition or supplementation until you dial in your exercise/strength.

05:05 Exercise is a drug. Muscle is an organ that releases hormones.

06:20 Exercise impacts many psychiatric and neurologic diseases: schizophrenia, stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as dementia, Parkinson’s and MS.

08:45 Stimulated muscle releases peptides, and hormone-like mediators called exerkines or myokines.

10:05 Resistance training causes muscle to release an extra-cellular vesical that tells fat cells to release stored energy to be burned as fuel during exercise.

12:40 Ageing individuals with low muscle mass have a 200% increase in all-cause mortality compared to those with high muscle mass.

13:00 Low strength is a 250% greater risk of all-cause mortality, over high strength.

14:00 Prioritize strength. Get stronger.

15:10 Strength reduces rapidly with ageing, even faster than age-related muscle loss.
