Key Takeaways

  • Track muscle health – Unlike heart or kidney function, skeletal muscle lacks routine diagnostics. Push for assessments beyond BMI.
  • Prioritize muscle-building interventions – Resistance training and protein intake are underutilized compared to drugs for other organ systems.
  • Challenge stigma around muscle therapies – Anabolic agents/SARMs are restricted despite muscle’s vital metabolic role.
  • Advocate for muscle as a diagnostic priority – Demand clinical recognition of muscle mass/quality as a vital sign.

Notable Quotes

“If we talk about skeletal muscle as an organ system, why isn’t it treated as such?”

Bottom Line

Treat skeletal muscle with the same urgency as heart or kidney health by tracking it, training it, and advocating for its clinical recognition.
