Summary of Transcript:
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is a functional medicine doctor who takes a muscle-centric approach to health and wellness. She believes that muscle is the organ of longevity and that optimizing muscle tissue is the true way to fix metabolic issues rather than just focusing on adiposity (the amount of body fat). Muscle tissue burns calories even at rest and is responsible for glucose disposal and fatty acid oxidation. Furthermore, muscle tissue secretes proteins called myokines that have anti-inflammatory effects and promote brain function. Dr. Lyon emphasizes the importance of high-quality protein in building and maintaining muscle tissue. She disputes the notion that diets based on plant protein are as effective as those found on animal protein, as the former requires 25 to 40 percent more calories and quantity-wise can be calorically devastating.

Are you ready to learn the surprising truth about protein and its relationship to living a long and healthy life? Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a leading expert in “muscle-centric medicine,” has made it her mission to educate people on the importance of building muscle as a vital organ that protects against a wide range of diseases, from Alzheimer’s to COVID-19.
Throughout this episode of Health Theory with Tom Bilyeu, Dr. Lyon shares her insights on why focusing on gaining muscle instead of losing fat is crucial. Doing so can improve your overall health, increase your life span, and decrease all-cause mortality. But how do you achieve optimal muscle growth and maintain a healthy diet?
Dr. Lyon strongly advocates the consumption of high-quality protein in the form of animal protein. Yes, this includes red meat, contrary to what some may assume. She also stresses the importance of resistance training to facilitate muscle growth. Dr. Lyon argues that our lack of muscle, rather than being “over-fat,” is at the root of diseases of obesity.
But what about diet? Dr. Lyon recommends starting your day with high-quality protein, followed by carbohydrates, later in the day. She also suggests incorporating various herbs into your diet to improve overall health.
Dr. Lyon’s approach to muscle-centric medicine may be surprising, but it is backed by sound scientific research.
