Summary
Having trouble mustering the motivation for a muscle-building gym session?
Prepare to feel a fire lit under your ass after listening to today's episode featuring Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, who emphasizes the importance of muscle-centric medicine (especially after you hit thirty and beyond). Neglecting this component of your health could trigger a chain reaction of issues, from obesity and heart disease to muscle loss and cognitive decline.
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a board-certified family physician, is at the forefront of a revolution in modern medicine. Her approach targets the body's largest organ — skeletal muscle — to enhance longevity and combat the dangers of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.
Dr. Lyon's book, Forever Strong: A New, Science-Based Strategy for Aging Well, outlines her whole-body, whole-person protocol for muscle health optimization.
Through her private practice, popular YouTube channel, influential podcast, and new book, she asks a fundamental question: How can you build strength, not just in the weight room, but in your daily life? Dr. Lyon's mission is to help you uncover the secrets to building consistent dietary and lifestyle habits, so you can show up for yourself and your loved ones, making the world a stronger place, one step at a time.
Join Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and me as we delve into the science behind building and maintaining skeletal muscle mass, the benefits of resistance training for brain health, the optimal daily protein intake for muscle synthesis, and much more!
