Dr Gabrielle Lyon has spent her career studying muscle as the organ of longevity, and her research reveals why most people are approaching health optimisation backwards by focusing on fat loss instead of muscle gain.

While doctors focus on treating disease, her approach is about building muscle as the foundation for living longer and better. The results show massive improvements that traditional medicine completely misses. Now she's created National Muscle Health Month to spread the word about why building and keeping muscle matters so much.
