Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show: Muscle Secrets They Don't Want You to Know

Most people don't think of muscle as an organ — but that's exactly what it is.

In this conversation with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, I get into the science of muscle physiology, what biomarkers actually tell us about health and performance, and how to think about building a body that holds up long term. We also cover fatigue and energy management, sleep quality, the relationship between muscle mass and longevity, VO2 max, protein intake, and what a sustainable strength training routine actually looks like.

Hope you enjoy it.
