Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is the founder of Muscle-Centric Medicine, a branch of preventative medicine which puts muscle quantity and quality on the front burner. Muscle is a vastly underrated resource that burns fat, influences metabolism, protects against disease, and so much more, and Dr. Lyon is helping her clients to understand and prioritize their skeletal muscle.    In this episode, Dr. Lyon talks about the fact that we are focusing too much on adiposity and too little on muscle, how to change the conversation around gaining muscle mass, training versus activity, how and why to prioritize your protein, and so much more. Dr. Lyon also leaves us with the soundbite that it is never too late to increase your quality of life, and we couldn’t agree more!    Episode Overview: 0:00 Intro 0:17 The Power of Muscle 11:45 Skeletal Muscle Mass 16:01 The Impact of Longevity 17:50 Challenging Diet Culture 25:49 Factors Affecting Muscle Gain 29:26 Prioritizing Protein Intake 31:24 Importance of First Meal 32:38 Excitement for Nutrition Simplicity 35:28 Protein First Feedback 36:40 Debunking mTOR Myths 37:44 Understanding mTOR Stimulation 1:03:40 Seeking Mission-Aligned Health Coaches 1:06:02 Identifying Patient Archetypes 1:07:42 Dr. Gabrielle Lyon's Mission and Projects   Connect with Dr. Gabrielle at: Website: https://drgabriellelyon.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWPQJeWz4pvccA3lIoZ7j1Q      Health Coach Radio is a podcast that dives deep into the world of health and fitness coaching, brought to you by Primal Health Coach Institute, founded by the renowned Mark Sisson.
