Ep 169 | Thick Thighs Save Lives? What the Research Says About Skinny

<p>A viral &quot;thick thighs save lives&quot; Instagram post sent me down a research rabbit hole—and what I found completely changed the conversation from aesthetics to longevity.

If you&#39;ve ever felt pressured to get smaller, this episode is your reminder that building strong legs isn&#39;t just about looking good—it&#39;s an investment in your future health.</p><p><a href="https://pages.fitnessuncharted.com/macro-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><u>Free Macro Guide: Set And Adjust Your Own Macros⁠⁠</u></a></p><p><a href="https://legionathletics.rfrl.co/9nzpy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><u>Use Code “TMM” for 20% off Legion Athletics Supplements</u></a></p><p>⁠<a href="https://bookwithfitu.as.me/PodcastListeners" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><u>⁠Click to Apply For 1:1 Coaching⁠</u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/fitnessuncharted?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_SPQ5B5T27BXB25N4QC16" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><u>Megan’s Amazon Storefront &amp; Gym Equipment</u></a></p><p>Free Resources &amp; Live Trainings: ⁠⁠<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/200412815169995" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><u>⁠Facebook Group⁠</u></a></p><p>Follow Megan and Fitness Uncharted Socials:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/fitnessuncharted/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><u>⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠</u></a> |<a href="https://www.facebook.com/littlemegers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> <u>⁠Facebook⁠⁠</u></a> |<a href="https://youtube.com/@fitnessuncharted" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> <u>⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠</u></a> |<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@fitnessuncharted?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> <u>⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠</u></a><br></p>
