28. Build Muscle, Burn Fat, Optimize Health | The Lanby’s Brandon Caraballosa on Get Well, Better

Muscle mass is metabolically active—fat mass isn’t. That single truth unlocks why building and maintaining muscle is one of the most powerful ways to optimize your health, longevity, and fitness.

The Lanby’s Wellness Advisor Brandon Caraballosa, RD joins Chloe Harrouche on Get Well Better for a science-backed yet practical conversation on what really works when it comes to fitness, metabolism, and nutrition.

They explore why consistency in training and nutrition is the number one predictor of success, the role of progressive overload in building lasting muscle, and how to prioritize protein and carbohydrates for recovery, growth, and energy. They also cover whether fasted workouts are worth trying and who benefits most, as well as how to gain muscle without adding fat through careful caloric management.

Brandon also shares his take on the pros and cons of group classes versus personalized training, why resistance training and cardio together create the ultimate fitness foundation, and how metabolic health connects to long-term goals.
