Why Muscle Is the Key to Longevity (and Most People Are Ignoring It) | feat. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon
Mon Feb 02 2026
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon—physician and leading voice in muscle-centric medicine— returns to talk with Gabby Reece about her new book, Forever Strong: The Playbook—a practical, tactical guide to building strength for life. They unpack why the health conversation went sideways into weight-loss obsession, why sarcopenia (loss of muscle and strength) may be the next major epidemic—especially in the era of GLP-1s—and how muscle impacts everything from blood sugar to long-term brain health.
They also get into what “neutrality” looks like for high performers, why consistency is less about motivation and more about clarity, and how to simplify protein and training without making it complicated. Plus: recovery, minimum effective dose, intramuscular fat vs. body fat, blood flow restriction training, and why Dr. Lyon keeps her kids off screens.
