Are you missing the one thing that would make all the difference in your effort to be healthier? I was. And the thing I was missing was weight training.

In this episode, you will learn from Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a medical doctor who is fellowship-trained in nutritional sciences and geriatrics.

Dr. Lyon is a renowned researcher, pioneer, and founder of the Institute for Muscle Centric Medicine. She is the New York Times best-selling author of Forever Strong: A New, Science-Based Strategy for Aging Well and has decades of experience to share with you.

In this conversation, Dr. Lyon discusses topics like:

• What the heck muscle-centric medicine is. • How your muscles are the largest organ in your body and why that matters. • The way muscles improve your brain and body health. • The connection between your waistline measurement and brain output. • The power of protein and what it does for your muscles. • What type of protein counts and what doesn’t. • How to get the right amount of protein if you are vegan or vegetarian. • The amount of protein you need for better hormone balance. • Dr. Lyon’s protein recommendations for every meal. • The surprising cause of disease and obesity, according to research. • How disease may begin in the skeletal muscle. • Why building muscle helps you sleep better. • The minimum amount of weight resistance that will still give you results. • How to begin strength training if the gym intimidates you. • Why yoga might not be making your muscles stronger. • What leucine is and why you need it to build muscle. • Why myokines are so important for muscles, energy, and immune function.
