But is that actually true? In this episode, Dr. Phillips breaks down one of the biggest fitness debates in medicine: cardio versus resistance training for longevity. We look at what the science really says about heart health, muscle mass, aging, and why the type of exercise you choose matters more as you get older. You’ll learn: - How cardio impacts lifespan and heart health - Why resistance training becomes critical as we age - The role muscle mass plays in longevity and independence - Whether one type of exercise is clearly better or if you need both - How to structure exercise for long-term health, not just aesthetics If your goal is to stay strong, mobile, and healthy for decades to come, this episode gives you doctor-approved guidance without fitness myths or extremes. 🎧 Listen on Your Favourite Platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3OFxEjictC41CCS1z2AVKe Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/talking-with-docs/id1799242189 YouTube Music: • TWD Podcast 👕 Shop Our MERCH: https://www.spreadshirt.ca/shop/designs/talkingwithdocs ❤️ Support Oakville Hospital: https://donate.oakvillehospitalfoundation.com 📱 Follow Us: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@talkingwithdocs Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkingwithdocs/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Talking-with-Docs-100066771782727/ 🛑 DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
