Introduction

We are talking about aging well. Specifically, maintaining our mental and physical strength and capacity, as long as possible. The media talks about lifespan, but what I care about is health span. I want to be healthy and able to the end, whether my end is 60 years old or 100. As opposed to lingering for the last 5 or 20 years as is getting to be the norm. A tragic norm. My expert on the topic is Dr Gabrielle Lyon. I’ve known of Dr Lyons for a long, long time through Functional Medicine circles. Her focus and expertise is Muscle-Centric Medicine, and today we are talking about just that…muscle, and how we are missing this necessity in our culture that is obsessed with so many of the wrong things for aging well. 

Dr. Lyon is board certified in family medicine and is a subject-matter expert and educator in the practical application of protein types and levels for health, performance, aging, and disease prevention. And we’re going to get into this topic of protein, in relation to muscle. Her new book is, Forever Strong: A New, Science-Based Strategy for Aging Well, which I’ve been studying and is the catalyst for our conversation here. You can find her podcast, right now, just search for The Dr Gabrielle Lyon Show.
