For 50 years, we've been told to lose weight, but 40% of us are still overweight or obese.
In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon reveals why we've been asking the wrong question entirely.
The problem isn't that we're over-fat; it's that we're under-muscled.
In this paradigm-shifting conversation, you'll discover why skeletal muscle is your body's largest endocrine organ, releasing over 600 myokines that impact everything from brain health to cancer prevention.
Dr. Lyon shares how focusing on muscle transforms not just your metabolism, but your entire trajectory of aging.
