Ep 92. My girl Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is back for another episode of "What's the Juice?"! Dr. Lyon has been my personal doctor for 7 years now and has truly changed my life. She is a well-respected functional medicine practitioner and the founder of the Institute for Muscle-Centric Medicine®, specializing in thyroid health, lean body mass support, and longevity. In this episode, we build off of our conversation from last year about the importance of skeletal muscle and its immediate positive impact on your health. We get into the principles and key takeaways of her new book, "Forever Strong: A New, Science-Based Strategy for Aging Well" which is SO motivating and easy to understand. You'll leave this conversation feeling ready to take action and not afraid to work hard for your health goals.
