FIT: Building Muscle, Strength, and Longevity

Muscle isn't just for movement: it's your body's largest metabolic organ.   In this episode, we explore the science behind FIT, the peptide that helps your body maintain and rebuild muscle by communicating directly with its repair systems. Learn how FIT inhibits myostatin, activates mTOR, and uses cofactors like vitamin D and magnesium to restore your body's ability to synthesize muscle.   We'll discuss how this peptide differs from supplements, what kind of changes to expect in the first weeks and months, and why protecting muscle is the single most effective strategy for metabolic health and longevity.   Hosted by Leanne Vogel.   Coaching and other supports available at: https://shop.healthfulpursuit.com/    Podcast Sponsors, links and offers available at: https://www.healthfulpursuit.com/podcast/  Bioactive Peptides: https://www.healthfulpursuit.com/make
