In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon chats with Dr. Anthony Gustin about Muscle-Centric-Medicine®.
 
With her background in family medicine, geriatrics, and nutritional science, Dr. Lyon discovered that optimizing your health starts by focusing on the biggest organ in your body: skeletal muscle.
 
Her book Forever Strong outlines how your muscle health directly impacts your metabolic health, mental health, and overall lifespan.
 
As she says, “Muscle is the key to longevity and aging well. The more muscle health you have, the better your trajectory of aging.”
 
So she uses this approach to help the world’s game changers — from Navy SEALs and elite athletes to CEOs and entrepreneurs — become the best versions of themselves.
 
During their conversation, Dr. Gustin and Dr. Lyon discuss:
The habits, behaviors, and standards her high-performing patients share that predict success across every aspect of their lives.
How to create systems that address your personal weaknesses and outsmart your predictability.
Why muscle health is so underappreciated and often ignored.
Signs you don’t have healthy skeletal muscle.
Why a lack of muscle is a greater health threat than obesity.
Measuring strength vs. power to determine muscle quality.
The importance of eating enough protein, working out hard enough, and building/preserving muscle mass as we age.
