Muscle: The Most Important Organ You’re Ignoring

from MyMD Unscripted · host Clint Carter, MD

In this episode, I break down why muscle may be the most important organ you’re overlooking. We talk about how muscle affects metabolism, insulin sensitivity, aging, and even brain health. I also explain why traditional weight loss approaches often fail and how focusing on body composition, strength, and protein can completely change your long-term health outcomes.- - - - -About the Host:Dr. Clint Carter is the founder of MyMD Select and the host of MyMD Unscripted. After nearly a decade of burnout in the ER, he chose a different path—one that put patients, not insurance, at the center of care. Alongside his wife Stephanie, Clint has built a thriving direct primary care practice in Tyler, Texas, offering functional medicine, hormone optimization, and wellness services rooted in accessibility and faith. His mission is to create a better way forward for both patients and providers—one built on time, trust, and purpose.- - - - - MyMD UnscriptedYouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MyMDSelectTyler⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠https://mymdselect.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/tylertxmymdselect⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mymdselect/⁠⁠⁠Subscibe: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠, & ⁠⁠⁠⁠iHeart Radio⁠⁠⁠⁠.- - - - -PODCASTThank you for listening.Please subscribe and share.This podcast is produced by DrTalks.com⁠https://drtalks.com/podcast-service/
