    In this episode, we explore the multifaceted importance of muscle for health. From posture and function to its impact on metabolism and cardiovascular health, muscle plays a vital role in our overall well-being. Our expert guest Dr. Kaitlin Link breaks down:

    • The structural and functional benefits of muscle.
    • How muscle contributes to metabolic health, supporting blood sugar regulation and energy balance.
    • The connection between muscle and cardiovascular health, reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
    • The protective effects of muscle on bone density and cognitive function.
    • The broader impacts on overall well-being, including confidence, energy, and quality of life.

    Muscle is not just for athletes or bodybuilders—it's an essential component of long-term health. Strengthening and maintaining muscle can improve life expectancy and quality of life.

    About Dr. Kaitlin Link

    Dr. Kaitlin Link is a Family & Emergency Medicine Physician and Assistant Professor at University of Toronto. She earned her MD at McMaster University and completed her residency at University of Toronto. Kaitlin was a Varsity Tennis player at Rutgers University, where she did her undergraduate studies.

    For 10 years, Kaitlin treated patients in the ER whose conditions often could have been prevented with earlier intervention. She grew tired of the system’s focus on reactive “sickcare,” rather than investing in high-leverage preventative and proactive care. She founded Benchmark Proactive Health in 2023, to equip people to take control of their health so they can feel their best – today, and in the decades to come.
