Episode notes

Today, we cover something that everybody wants at some level or another—muscle. If you want to live a long time and you've fallen for the plant based nonsense science that's out there to sell more Froot Loops, well, you're heading in the wrong direction from a longevity perspective. The cold, hard truth is that skeletal muscle mass drives longevity.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon joins the show today to flex her own intellectual muscles on protein intake, reframing the hallmarks of aging, supplementing aminos, healthy fascia, and a whole lot more. You've heard her talk about these things online probably as much as I have; she calls what she does Muscle Centric Medicine—and as you can imagine, I am fully on board.

She's looking at aging in exciting new ways in her new book, Forever Strong, which is packed with science-based strategies for aging well.

We respectfully lock horns on a few subjects near and dear to our hearts—ranging into symptomatology vs. muscle health, key flaws in modern skeletal muscle research, where to draw the line on veganism, unlocking longevity through diet, and more—before landing on our shared responsibility to the greater community to share these insights for the common good.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is a true heavyweight in the space and my dear friend, backing up her immense aptitude with real life results as a biohacker seemingly aging at a slower pace than one might expect. It’s a pleasure to welcome her to the show today.
