The Truth About Muscle, Protein, and Living Longer | Dr. Gabrielle Lyon
You're not over-fat. You're under-muscled.
That single reframe changes how you think about your weight, your energy, and how well you'll age.
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a fellowship-trained geriatrician and the founder of muscle-centric medicine, has spent her career arguing that we've fixated on the wrong organ. Obesity, insulin resistance, even cognitive decline don't start where you think. They start in your muscle.
She breaks down why muscle is your metabolic currency, your body armor, and the closest thing we have to a longevity drug. And why the protein advice most people follow was set during wartime rationing, not built for the life you're trying to live.
The hard part isn't the science. It's that the changes stay subtle until one day they're not.
This conversation will make you rethink every plate of food and every workout you skip.
