Dr Gabrielle Lyon studied nutritional science for seven years and has a doctorate in osteopathic medicine. She specialises in helping patients and clients take control of their body and mind, through an innovative approach called muscle-centric medicine. This shifts the focus from fat loss to muscle gain, for better metabolism, reduced risk of disease and better long-term health.

Her knowledge and insight has helped everyone from entrepreneur Bedros Keuilian to elite military operators such as Navy SEALS to perform at their best.

 

Muscle-Centric Medicine is the most revolutionary aspect of Dr. Lyon’s methods. Her ground-breaking concepts eliminate unwanted body fat and build muscle, allowing for continued metabolism boosts and long-term wellness. The key is to eat the right kinds of protein, and enough of them, at each meal. This stimulates the body’s natural muscle-building process, called “muscle protein synthesis”.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

• What the science is behind brain activity, body composition, waistline and muscle mass.

• Why we're failing at addressing obesity issues, and how nobody knows what the optimal muscle mass is for anyone.

• Why progress in regards to muscle mass is all about improvement, as everyone has a different starting point to meet their physical, mental and longevity goals.

• How your diet is affecting your glucose levels and muscle mass, and what this means in relation to your protein, carb and fat intake.

• What effect concentrating on muscle first will have on cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and other issues, compared to concentrating on more stereotypical or traditional focus points.

• How much protein you should be eating, where you should be getting it from, and why information you've heard already may not be reliable based on the balance of emotions and facts.

• What difference stress and recovery makes on testosterone levels, and how sleep disruptors such as alcohol affect your whole body.

• How modern medicine has a fundamental flaw that can be revolutionised by taking a different approach of prevention instead of treatment.

• Why researchers and healthcare professionals need to be OK with being wrong, especially when it comes to forwarding education and insight about new approaches to longevity.
