The Muscle Doctor: Build Muscle + Burn Fat at Any Age

Video Description

Eat more protein. But how much is actually enough? Get stronger. But where do you even start? One day it’s a new workout. The next day it’s a new diet trend. There’s so much conflicting information around women’s health, it’s impossible to distinguish what’s backed by science and what’s just noise. That’s exactly why Tamsen asked Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a board-certified physician leading the global shift in how we think about aging and health, to come on the podcast. In this conversation, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon breaks down the science behind protein, skeletal muscle, and metabolic health and shares an actionable playbook you can use to build strength, slow decline, and take control of your future. In this episode, she explains exactly what to eat and how to train so that you can feel mentally and physically stronger at every stage of your life. If you’ve ever wondered: - How much protein do I really need? - What are the best protein sources for muscle growth? - Do I need supplements like collagen and creatine? - Will lifting weights make me bulky? - How much resistance training is enough? - Do I need a gym to see results? - Where do I even begin? …Then this is the episode for you. It’s one of the most practical, science-backed episodes we’ve had on protein, muscle growth, and longevity for women. After listening to this conversation, you’ll have the discernment you need to stop chasing trends and start building real, lasting strength.
