120. Why Muscle is Better than "Skinny"
Strength training is often marketed as a way to look better—but what if its greatest value has nothing to do with appearance at all?
On this podcast, Tiffany shifts the conversation away from chasing a certain body type and toward building a body that actually works. She explores how strength training supports functional health: protecting your joints, improving bone density, boosting metabolism, enhancing balance, and helping you move confidently through everyday life. Because being “skinny” doesn’t automatically mean being healthy—and in many cases, under-fueling and under-muscling the body can lead to fatigue, hormone disruption, injuries, and long-term health risks.
This show is about redefining health beyond the scale. It’s about strength as a tool for longevity, resilience, and independence—now and in the future. Whether you’re new to lifting or rethinking your relationship with fitness, Tiffany is here to help you build strength for life, not just for looks.
