In this episode, Dr. Lyon will discuss the power of muscle building and how it can help you age gracefully and have a better quality of life. She will talk about reversing aging, reducing fat storage, building muscle, and not losing it. Whether you are male or female, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, or older, everyone needs to be invested in building muscle tissue to age gracefully and have a better quality of life.
Dr. Lyon encourages viewers to get the foundational piece right up front, and that is high-quality training is a non-negotiable, and number two, high-quality proteins.

Is aging gracefully and being healthy in your old age a goal or something nice to hope for with no real expectations? If you search for tips on aging gracefully, you get leads on being more mindful, forgiving, staying curious, learning, and more. You’ll find a few tips around staying physically active, but you don’t see a lot of advice (if any) on building muscle, getting in the gym, hitting the weights, and putting your body under stress.
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon began her 20+ year career in geriatric medicine and palliative care. In her observations and studies on people in declining physical and mental health, she became passionately aware of the missed opportunity in the medical community. Chronic diseases commonly associated with aging, such as Alzheimer’s, cardiac disease, and diabetes, were being studied without addressing the underlying source contributing to the problems, deteriorating skeletal muscle.
By the end of this episode, if you’re not convinced about the power of muscle building, you may want to rewatch. Whether you are male or female, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, or older, everyone needs to be invested in building muscle tissue to age gracefully and have a better quality of life. Healthy aging isn’t just about maintaining mental cognition with a failing body; it’s about having quality interactions and the physical ability to stand, walk, and travel without fearing falling or being dependent on everyone for everything.
