Why Strength Training Could Save Your Life

Most people think of ICU stays as unavoidable, but did you know up to 50% of cases are preventable?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng to discuss the power of muscle, metabolic health, and strength training in preventing critical illness.

@Kwadcast and I dive into:
✅ Why metabolic disease, stroke, and heart attacks are filling up ICUs
✅ The staggering cost (and emotional toll) of an ICU stay
✅ How building muscle acts as "body armor" against severe illness
✅ The inspiring story of a 70-year-old man who walked on a ventilator—and how strength saved his life
✅ Practical steps YOU can take today to stay out of the ICU and live stronger, longer

Prevention may not be "sexy," but it’s the key to longevity and quality of life. Let’s make sure you never have to step foot in an ICU.
