In this podcast, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a physician with expertise in muscle science, shares her insights on the essential role of skeletal muscle mass for our health and longevity. She argues that building muscle strength through resistance training is far more important than just focusing on weight loss or obesity. Dr. Lyon highlights that neglecting muscle strength can lead to a higher risk of diseases and a lower quality of life as we age. She stresses the need for regular exercise and a protein-rich, balanced diet. Additionally, Dr. Lyon addresses the psychological side of reaching health goals, pointing out the importance of self-worth and cultivating discipline over merely relying on motivation.
