Why Your Body Burns Muscle First

This episode explores why the body may break down muscle tissue under certain conditions, especially during stress, calorie deficits, or inadequate protein intake. It examines how hormones, energy balance, and metabolic priorities influence whether the body preserves fat or uses muscle for fuel.

The key insight is that muscle loss is not random—it’s a survival strategy. By optimizing nutrition, resistance training, and recovery, you can signal your body to preserve muscle and burn fat more efficiently.
