What lies at the heart of these endeavors? Our capacity to build and sustain lean muscle.\xa0\nToday on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to discuss why building and maintaining skeletal muscle is critical for preserving our healthspan, lifespan, and metabolic health. \nDr. Lyon is a Washington University fellowship-trained physician in nutritional science and geriatrics and is board-certified in family medicine. She is the founder of the Institute for Muscle-Centric Medicine and has a private practice that services leaders, innovators, mavericks, and executives in a number of fields.\xa0\nIn addition, Dr. Lyon also works closely with special-operations military personnel. Her goal is to change the paradigm of medicine from obesity-focused to muscle-centric and the way we think about health and medicine with high scientific integrity. Her new book, Forever Strong: A New, Science-Based Strategy for Aging Well, is set to be released on October 17, 2023.\xa0\nIn this episode, Dhru and Dr. Lyon dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version):\n-What happens when women over 40 don\u2019t prioritize protein and lifting weights (1:57 / 1:57)\n-The relationship between satiety, protein, and weight loss (4:02 / 4:02)\n-Muscle-centric medicine vs the conventional approach to weight loss (12:07 / 8:47)\n-Why muscle is critical when it comes to longevity (16:21 / 12:47)\n-What contributes to skeletal muscle loss (18:01 / 14:47)\n-How Dr. Lyon inspired Dhru to start resistance training and eating more protein (23:52 / 20:38)\n-The best way to measure lean muscle mass (30:20 / 27:05)\n-Optimal body fat percentage for women (31:58 / 29:00)\n-Measuring strength and establishing a baseline (36:19 / 33:00)\n-Minimal viable dose for resistance training (43:58 / 40:43)\n-Modifying our diet and lifestyle to match our environment (51:19 / 48:25)\n-Top reasons why people don\u2019t prioritize protein (55:10 / 52:00 )\n-How much protein and carbs to aim for per meal and day (1:05:19 / 57:57)\n-How Dr. Lyon meets her protein goals (1:11:08 / 1:07:54)\n-Top mistakes people make when increasing protein intake (1:20:37 /1:16:10)\n-Structuring meals around protein (1:24:01 / 1:20:56)\n-Dr. Lyon\u2019s take on carbohydrates (1:35:10 / 1:31:56)\n-Why calories matter and the importance of tracking (1:43:26 / 1:38:55)\n-Key takeaways from Dr. Lyon\u2019s new book (1:50:50 / 1:47:35)\n-Dr. Lyon\u2019s thoughts on Ozempic (1:56:07 / 1:53:00)\nAlso mentioned in this episode:\n-Preorder Dr. Lyon\u2019s book, Forever Strong\n-drgabriellelyon.com\n-Sign up for Dr. Lyon\u2019s 30G\u2019s Recipe Newsletter\nTo get 20% off your Birch Living mattress, head to birchliving.com/dhru today.\nRight now, get 15% off your first purchase of Lifeforce at mylifeforce.com with code DHRU.\n Hosted on Acast.
