About this episode

Modern life is silently destroying our health. But what if the real culprit isn't too much fat, but too little muscle? Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a physician researching the overlooked importance of muscle for metabolism, immunity, and disease prevention, reveals how the loss of muscle mass as we age secretly undermines health. In her groundbreaking book, Forever Strong: A New, Science-Based Strategy for Aging Well, Dr. Lyon shares how you can slow, stop and even reverse muscle loss through science-based nutrition and exercise.


Imagine if simply building muscle could lower disease risk and make you feel better. Dr. Lyon is on a mission to revolutionize aging. If you want to thrive in midlife and beyond, this conversation could change your life.
