Dr. Gabrielle Lyon: The Shocking Longevity & Brain Science That Will Save Your Life
Click An Icon Below To Subscribe
In this episode, I'm joined by functional medicine practitioner and founder of the Institute For Muscle-centric Medicine, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon. After years of helping patients heal their skeletal muscle, Lyon set out to educate everyone on the importance of skeletal muscle in her new book, Forever Strong. By showing you how to care for your largest organ through exercise and nutrition (hint: protein, fasting, and resistance training), and what happens when you neglect caring for your muscles, you'll gain a whole new appreciation for this often overlooked piece of your health.
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is a board-certified family medicine and fellowship-trained physician in nutritional sciences and geriatrics. She is the author of the new book, Forever Strong: A New, Science-Based Strategy For Aging Well. Dr. Lyon completed a combined research and clinical fellowship in geriatrics and nutritional sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. She also completed her undergraduate training in nutritional sciences at the University of Illinois. Dr. Lyon is a subject-matter expert and educator in the practical application of protein types and levels for health, performance, aging, and disease prevention. She has continued to receive mentorship from Dr. Donald Layman, PhD, over the course of two decades to help bring protein metabolism and nutrition from the bench to the bedside.
A few of my favorite things we cover this episode:
- The importance of skeletal muscle and how to improve it.
- The difference between high-quality and low-quality protein.
- When to eat protein to gain the most benefit.
- How much exercise you actually need for healthy skeletal muscle.
