BITESIZE | The Crucial Importance of Strength Training, How To Make Healthy Habits Stick & Living a Strong & Healthy Life | Dr Gabrielle Lyon #509

My guest today believes that the single biggest problem with our health these days is not that we carry too much fat but that we don’t carry enough muscle, and that if we start to focus and prioritise our largest organ – our muscle – we can burn more fat, improve our body composition, decrease our risk of disease and increase our energy levels.

Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.

Today’s clip is from episode 418 of the podcast with Dr Gabrielle Lyon – an osteopathic doctor who is board certified in family medicine.

She earned her undergraduate degree in Human Nutrition from the University of Illinois and completed a research & clinical fellowship in Nutritional Science and Geriatrics at Washington University. She is the founder of the Institute for Muscle Centric-Medicine™ and the author of Forever Strong: A New, Science-backed Strategy for Aging Well.

In this clip, she shares why muscle is critical for our health and our metabolism, how to make new healthy habits stick, and why strength training can help us live longer, stronger, and better lives.
