What if the real risk to our health isn’t aging itself, but becoming metabolically weak?

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon — physician, researcher, and one of the leading voices redefining how we think about health and longevity — shares why muscle sits at the center of lasting strength, energy, and vitality. In this wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais, she explores why health isn’t something to manage later with prescriptions, but something to build deliberately through strength and daily discipline.

Dr. Lyon’s muscle-centric approach reframes aging and performance: real longevity is not about doing less, but building the capacity to do more — with purpose, clarity, and resilience. From the science of protein and training to the psychology of sustainable health, this conversation offers a roadmap to living strong, not just long.

You’ll learn:

Why muscle is the organ of longevity
How to build metabolic health through training and nutrition
The key to balancing strength, performance, and recovery
How to approach GLP-1 drugs (like Ozempic) with nuance and caution
Why physical strength fuels mental resilience and purpose
