Taryn Smith - The Crash Nobody Warns You About After a Huge Win

You'd think fear is what stops you from doing hard things. At 25, with zero rowing experience, Taryn Smith crossed the Atlantic alone. 3,000 miles, 46 days, and I learned that the fear was never the obstacle. It was the signal she was finally in the right place.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and Taryn Smith discuss:Why fear is a "metric of success," not a stop sign, and how to train yourself to move toward discomfort instead of away from itHow food becomes visible performance fuel when you're the only engine, and how to preserve muscle on limited calories using protein and daily amino acidsThe "long-term optimist, short-term realist" mindset that carries you through a slog with no end in sightThe post-achievement crash nobody warns you about, and why the low after a big win is predictableWhether or not you'll ever touch an oar, you'll walk away with a portable mental framework for facing anything you've been avoiding, and a clearer sense of who you are when no one's watching.Want ad-free episodes?

What Glyphosate Does to Your Body

You've probably worried that the glyphosate on your bread is slowly harming you. The evidence points somewhere far less obvious and far more fixable.In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses:Why the real concern isn't cancer risk from your toast, but glyphosate's effect on your gut, where it can act like a selective antibiotic, hitting beneficial bacteria while sparing the harmful onesWhere the residue concentrates (grains and legumes like oats up to 1100 ppb) and why meat, milk, and eggs carry negligible amounts, so your organic dollars belong on oats and bread, not chickenThe three NHANES analyses linking higher glyphosate to weaker grip strength and greater sarcopenia risk, and why protein and resistance training matter more than agonizing over parts per billionHow switching to organic staples cuts urinary glyphosate by 71% in six days, and why "detox" products aren't the answerWhy banning glyphosate isn't a clean win, the leading alternative, 2,4-D, was a component of Agent OrangeUnderstanding where glyphosate genuinely matters lets you stop worrying about the wrong foods, spend smarter at the grocery store, and protect the two things that move the needle: your gut and your muscle.Thank you to our sponsors:Manukora - Go to https://bit.ly/4h6XYMQ to save 31% plus $25 worth of free gifts.Timeline - up to 20% off when you subscribe and save at https://bit.ly/3S2zg64Egglife - Find egglife wraps chillin’ in the fridge at Aldi, Whole Foods, Kroger, Target, Walmart & more.

Juliet and Dr. Kelly Starrett - Your Back Pain Isn't Your Back

Most people think low back pain means something is wrong with their back. It's usually the hips — and the fix often starts on your living room floor.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Kelly Starrett and Juliet Starrett, JD to discuss:Why 100% of the people who fly across the country to get a consult for stubborn low back pain are missing hip extension, and how to test yours with the couch stretchThe "injury vs. incident" framework that tells you when pain needs a doctor and when you can manage it yourselfHow 20–30 minutes of floor sitting each evening restores the range of motion you thought you'd lost to ageWhy mobility is the missing third leg of the longevity triangle that roughly 90% of people skipBy the end, you'll have a simple, no-equipment way to move without pain and keep the strength and mobility that let you do what you love as you age.Want ad-free episodes?

DON'T Inject What You Can't Verify: Compounded Peptide Safety Explained

Over 500 published papers stand behind one of the internet's most popular peptides, but fewer than 30 of the humans studied are in them. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon separates the molecule from the marketplace so you can tell real evidence from good marketing.In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses:Why BPC-157's "mountain of evidence" collapses to a 99.7% animal-to-human ratio - 544 papers, but fewer than 30 humans across three uncontrolled pilot trialsHow to place any peptide on the spectrum from FDA-approved (GLP-1s like semaglutide) to investigational to compounded, and why "GLP-1s work, so peptides work" is a trapWhat the FDA quietly did in April 2026, and why removing a dozen peptides from its safety-concern list was driven by policy pressure, not new safety dataThe 4 questions to run on any peptide before you inject level of evidence, what the study measured, where it's sourced from, and whether it's banned in tested sportWhy the "boring work", resistance training, protein-anchored nutrition, and real recovery beat almost anything in a vialIf something is going into your body through a needle, the standard has to be higher than three words on a label that say "research use only."

5 Hidden Causes of Bone Loss (#4 Is a Shock) - Dr. Douglas Lucas

Everyone on a GLP-1 is watching the scale; almost no one is watching their bones. Bone loss isn't an inevitable part of aging; it's a reversible signal that something deeper is going wrong, and it starts far earlier than most people are ever warned.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Douglas Lucas, a former Stanford-trained orthopedic surgeon turned bone-health specialist, to discuss:Why bone loss begins around 45 during perimenopause, not 50, and why waiting for your first DEXA scan at 65 is far too late to prevent itThe blind spots in the standard DEXA scan: a scan-to-scan margin of error near 6% and no read on bone quality, only quantityBone turnover markers (CTX and P1NP) you can test from blood to see whether you're building or breaking down bone in real timeWhy the "protein is bad for bones" and "alkalize your diet" beliefs are myths and why protein, minerals, and adequate calcium matter more than calcium aloneWhat rebuilds bone at home: resistance training, real impact like heel drops, and vertical vibration plates used ~10 minutes a dayUnderstanding your bones as a living, changeable organ system means you can catch loss early, measure it honestly, and reverse the trajectory, instead of accepting decline as your fate.Thank you to our sponsors:Head to https://bit.ly/4ftfObn and use code DRLYON for 25% off sitewide.
