636. Ozempic, Protein, Weight Loss + Why Muscle is Essential for Health

When we think about muscle, we tend to think about strength or aesthetics, but in reality, muscle accounts for so much more than that. In this episode, we are honored to welcome Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, to discuss the importance of muscle (and how too little can lead to big problems).  Dr. Lyon is an expert in the practical application of protein types and levels for health, performance, aging and disease prevention. Ahead, you’ll hear a thought-provoking conversation on the best approach to regulate your glucose, reboot your metabolism, build strength and ultimately extend your life and vitality. Can’t get enough of Dr. Lyon’s work? Her recently published book, Forever Strong, is out now!
