Muscle-Centric Medicine
- The underlying cause of diseases like Alzheimer's and heart disease isn't obesity, but unhealthy skeletal muscle.
- This "muscle-centric medicine" approach reframes how we view health and aging.
Betty's Story
- Dr. Lyon shared a story about "Betty," a patient who struggled with weight and unknowingly had early signs of Alzheimer's.
- This highlighted the misconception of obesity as the root cause, rather than unhealthy skeletal muscle.
Protein Power
