I am delighted to reconnect with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon today! She is a dear friend and a physician whose work has profoundly impacted my own work, particularly during the past few years. She previously appeared on the podcast in episode 95 about three years ago.\xa0\xa0\nDr. Gabrielle Lyon is a highly respected functional medicine provider, the founder of the Institute for Muscle-centric Medicine, a nationally recognized speaker and media contributor, and the author of the book Forever Strong.\xa0\nIn our conversation, we dive into areas where confusion often clouds our understanding of protein intake. We explore the distinctions between commodities and consumer packaged goods and the impact of sarcopenia and other muscle-related changes that affect women during perimenopause and menopause. Our discussion also goes into the hallmarks of aging, uncovers the critical importance of a specific protein threshold to initiate muscle protein synthesis, and examines the role of food matrices and Leucine thresholds, misconceptions surrounding carbohydrates, and the most effective methods for tracking muscle mass. Additionally, we explore the connections between poor metabolic health and cognitive decline, making this conversation exceptionally relevant and informative.\xa0\nI wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lyon's forthcoming book coming out in early October. Her work has played a significant role in shaping my personal and professional life and had a profound impact on many of my female patients and clients.\xa0\nI am confident that you will find today\u2019s show with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon as enlightening and valuable as I do.\nIN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:\n\nWhere did the confusion around the proper intake of protein originate?\n\nPhysiological changes that occur in women as they age\n\nHow hormonal changes during midlife lead to muscle loss and insulin resistance, which can contribute to aging\n\nWhat is insulin resistance?\n\nHow unhealthy skeletal muscle leads to low energy efficiency and metabolic implications.\n\nThe importance of protein for women's health\n\nHow carbohydrates impact our metabolic health\n\nThe impact of intermittent fasting on muscle health\n\nWhat is skeletal muscle and how does it affect our health?\xa0\xa0\n\nThe interconnectedness between skeletal muscle, obesity, and cognitive decline\n\nThe benefits of D3 Creatine supplementation\xa0\n\n\nConnect with Cynthia Thurlow\n\nFollow on Twitter, Instagram & LinkedIn\n\n\nCheck out Cynthia\u2019s website\n\n\nSubmit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com\n\n\nConnect With Dr. Gabrielle Lyon\n\nCheck out her website\xa0\n\nConnect on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter\n\n\nHer podcast, the Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show\n\n\nOrder her book, Forever Strong, on Amazon or her website\n\n\n\nEpisode 95 \u2013 Why Muscle Is The Organ Of Longevity \u2013 with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon
