from The School of Doza Podcast · host NURSE DOZA
Good Poops Protocol –is a powerful combination of supplements designed to support gut health, metabolism, and daily detox. One of the key ingredients is Berberine Plus, which works like a GLP-1 by helping control blood sugar, curb cravings, and improve insulin sensitivity—essential factors when building muscle and burning fat through resistance training. 👉 Get Good Poops Protocol here: https://mswnutrition.com/products/good-poops-protocol Discover why resistance training is the best exercise for weight loss. Learn how lifting weights builds lean muscle mass, lowers blood sugar naturally, burns fat for energy, requires minimal equipment, and boosts sex hormone production for sustainable metabolic health and long-term results. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Resistance training builds lean muscle mass – Skeletal muscles function as metabolic organs that burn more calories at rest. After six months of consistent weight training, larger muscles increase your resting metabolic rate, helping you burn more calories throughout the day even when you're not exercising. Lifting weights lowers blood sugar naturally – Resistance training improves blood glucose control and insulin sensitivity by directing sugar into muscles for energy and muscle building rather than storing it as fat in the liver. This makes it one of the most effective natural strategies for preventing and managing type 2 diabetes. Weight training burns fat for energy long after your workout – Studies show resistance exercise creates genetic signals that jump-start fat-burning processes in fat cells, with elevated energy expenditure and fat burning continuing for at least 24 hours post-workout in both men and women. You don't need expensive equipment or a gym membership – Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups, planks, walking lunges, and yoga provide effective resistance training using your own body weight. A simple kettlebell at home can maximize your workout efficiency in just 20 minutes. Resistance training increases sex hormone production – High-intensity resistance exercise significantly elevates testosterone levels in both men and women, while 12 weeks of resistance training improves estrogen levels in postmenopausal women, supporting reproductive health, bone density, and overall metabolic function.
