199: Dr. Gabrielle Lyon - Muscle-Centric-Medicine for Longevity

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon about Muscle-Centric-Medicine® and performance optimization.

With her background in family medicine, geriatrics, and nutritional science, Dr. Lyon discovered that optimizing your health starts by focusing on the biggest organ in your body: skeletal muscle.

Muscle is the organ of longevity. We live in an environment that’s designed to make us soft and weak. We must do everything we can to maintain physical strength. Share on X

Her book Forever Strong outlines how your muscle health directly impacts your metabolic health, mental health, and overall lifespan.

As she says, “Muscle is the key to longevity and aging well. The more muscle health you have, the better your trajectory of aging.”

It’s more important to have healthy muscle mass than worry about body fat. The loss of muscle mass is more detrimental to your health than gaining body fat as you age. Share on X

So she uses this approach to help the world’s game changers — from Navy SEALs and elite athletes to CEOs and entrepreneurs — become the best versions of themselves.
