Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is the founder of Muscle-Centric Medicine, a branch of preventative medicine which puts muscle quantity and quality on the front burner. Muscle is a vastly underrated resource that burns fat, influences metabolism, protects against disease, and so much more, and Dr. Gabrielle is helping her clients to understand and prioritize their skeletal muscle.
In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle talks about the fact that we are focusing too much on adiposity and too little on muscle, how to change the conversation around gaining muscle mass, training versus activity, how and why to prioritize your protein, and so much more. Dr. Gabrielle also leaves us with the soundbite that it is never too late to increase your quality of life, and we couldn’t agree more!
