Most People Train for Muscle Wrong: Here’s What Longevity Research Says

Written By Mel Saladino

Don is joined by clinical trial scientist Dr. Brad Currier to break down what supplements, muscle, and longevity research actually show about strength training, aging, and disease prevention.
Dr. Currier is the Clinical Trial Manager at Timeline where they investigate the effects of their key ingredient, Mitopure (Urolithin A), on aging hallmarks, focusing on mitochondrial health, muscle function, immune resilience, brain health, and cellular energy in various populations. Today Don and Dr. Currier explore how clinical trials evaluate supplements, why muscle is considered a key longevity organ, and why even minimal resistance training dramatically lowers the risk of mortality, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic decline. Brad explains lifespan vs. healthspan, the role of mitochondria, why muscle power matters, and where supplements like creatine and Urolithin A (Mitopure) fit—and where biohacking falls short.
