Join our Telegram group!Welcome back to another episode of our Mafia Moments series. On this episode, we were joined by Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, the author of Forever Strong and health coach to many of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world. In this short episode we discuss:Going through the rigors of medical school and residency, while extremely challenging, gave you the broad knowledge base needed to truly appreciate the impact of lifestyle factors on health. Even though some of what was taught conflicted with your prior nutrition knowledge, it was a necessary process.Spending time with geriatric patients and routinely witnessing death gave you profound perspective on the importance of living courageously in the present and making thoughtful decisions about things like nutrition, relationships, and time management. Regrets at end of life often center around not spending enough time with loved ones.Many chronic diseases of aging like Alzheimer's, heart disease, diabetes, etc. have roots in midlife and are directly related to body composition (e.g. wider waistlines correlating with lower brain volumes). Caring for health when younger is crucial.Building skeletal muscle mass in your 20s-30s is important not just for aesthetics but as a metabolic reservoir and amino acid sink to safeguard health with aging. The habits and discipline required to build muscle are valuable in their own right.Muscle is our "health currency" that cannot be bought or bargained for - it requires consistent effort over time, but is a uniquely fair pursuit accessible to anyone willing to progressively work towards their potential.FULL EPISODE WITH DR.

On the podcast today, we are joined by Dr. Arthur Rapkin (Art). Art is the author of newly released book 'Poison For Rats' and has been practicing acupuncture for 37 years. On the surface, Art's life story feels too unbelievable to be real - you can't help but feel skeptical. There's no way he pulled off an impersonation Bob Dylan scam or smuggled a ridiculous amount of drugs into the US through aerosol deodorant cans, or escaped Mexican Prison! But it's true, he has the receipts, and it's a reminder about how bizarre, strange, and surprisingly beautiful truth really is. We won't reveal it all, but this episode is well worth a listen. Art's story though is one of redemption and transformation. He discusses how these experiences shaped his approach to life and healing. The meaning he now finds in his work is deeply tied to his desire to help others and the sense of fulfillment it brings him. Through acupuncture, mentoring, and coaching, he continues to impact lives positively, drawing from his rich and diverse life experiences to guide and support others.Art's incredible life is documented in his book with photos and evidence, and is soon to be turned into a TV series after his story was purchased by a production agency. Key topics discussed:- DEA and Mexican authorities' torture for a false confession- Transition from drug smuggler to acupuncturist- Writing a memoir as therapeutic transformation- Consulting in organizational leadership- Realization of the importance of helping others and meaningful connectionsTimestamps:(00:00) Mexican Prison Torture Confession Expose(09:11) Underworld Confessions and Redemption(19:15) From Criminal to Acupuncturist(24:48) Journey to Healing Through Acupuncture(37:21) Transformation Through Vulnerability and Reflection(42:02) The Value of Connection and Kindness*** LINKS***Check out our Newsletter - Food for Thought - to dramatically improve your health this year!Join The Meat Mafia community Telegram group for daily conversations to keep up with what’s happening between episodes of the show.Connect with Art'Poison For Rats' bookConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - The Meat MafiaTwitter - The Meat MafiaYouTube - The Meat MafiaPodcast - The Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinAFFILIATESLMNT - Electrolyte salts to supplement minerals on low-carb dietThe Carnivore Bar - Use Code 'MEATMAFIA' for 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarPerennial Pastures - Use CODE 'MEATMAFIA' 10% OFF - Regeneratively raised, grass-fed & grass-finished beef from California & MontanaFarrow Skincare - Use CODE 'MEATMAFIA' at checkout for 20% OFFHeart & Soil - CODE ‘MEATMAFIA’ for 10% OFF - enhanced nutrition to replace daily vitamins!Carnivore Snax - Use CODE 'MEATMAFIA' Crispy, airy meat chips that melt in your mouth.
