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 it
- How food becomes visible performance fuel when you're the only engine, and how to preserve muscle on limited calories using protein and daily amino acids
- The "long-term optimist, short-term realist" mindset that carries you through a slog with no end in sight
- The post-achievement crash nobody warns you about, and why the low after a big win is predictable
Whether 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.

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 ones
- Where 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 chicken
- The 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 billion
- How switching to organic staples cuts urinary glyphosate by 71% in six days, and why "detox" products aren't the answer
- Why banning glyphosate isn't a clean win, the leading alternative, 2,4-D, was a component of Agent Orange
Understanding 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.

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 stretch
- The "injury vs. incident" framework that tells you when pain needs a doctor and when you can manage it yourself
- How 20–30 minutes of floor sitting each evening restores the range of motion you thought you'd lost to age
- Why mobility is the missing third leg of the longevity triangle that roughly 90% of people skip
By 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.

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 trials
- How 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 trap
- What 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 data
- The 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 sport
- Why the "boring work", resistance training, protein-anchored nutrition, and real recovery beat almost anything in a vial
If 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." This episode gives you the framework to protect yourself before spending a dollar or taking a shot.

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 it
- The blind spots in the standard DEXA scan: a scan-to-scan margin of error near 6% and no read on bone quality, only quantity
- Bone turnover markers (CTX and P1NP) you can test from blood to see whether you're building or breaking down bone in real time
- Why the "protein is bad for bones" and "alkalize your diet" beliefs are myths and why protein, minerals, and adequate calcium matter more than calcium alone
- What rebuilds bone at home: resistance training, real impact like heel drops, and vertical vibration plates used ~10 minutes a day
Understanding 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.

You've eaten red meat your whole life, so why does a steak dinner suddenly leave you covered in hives at 1 AM? A single Lone Star tick bite can rewire your immune system into a delayed allergy to red meat, and most people (and even their doctors) never connect the two.
In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses:
- Why alpha-gal reactions are delayed 2–6 hours after eating meat, and how that delay causes ER visits to be repeatedly misdiagnosed
- How your blood type changes your risk (type A and O are higher-risk; type B appears protected) and why a mismatched transfusion has proven fatal
- The simple alpha-gal IgE blood test to ask for, and what the numbers mean
- The hidden sources beyond food: gelatin, vaccines, heparin, thyroid meds, and even heart valves
- The tiered treatment approach that resolves symptoms in about 80% of patients on meat-avoidance alone
Learn to recognize a condition that's increasingly common yet widely missed, so if it's happening to you, you'll know exactly what to test for and how to get your life back. It's not all in your head.

Everyone celebrates the weight GLP-1s take off, almost no one warns you about the volume they quietly pull out of your face and the loose skin you can't train away. The fix depends entirely on the diagnosis, and knowing which category your concern falls into is what saves you time, money, and regret.
In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Kristy Hamilton, a board-certified plastic surgeon, to discuss:
- Why rapid GLP-1 weight loss deflates facial volume and creates loose skin and why the leaner and more muscular you get, the more visible that laxity becomes
- The muscle-sparing breast augmentation (Preserve) that gets active women back to full training in about a week, and why placing an implant in front of the muscle protects your strength
- Which skin-tightening treatments reset structure (like internal radiofrequency) versus the surface treatments and "expensive coat rack" machines that won't touch real laxity
- The real NIH data on breast implant illness and why you don't need a $30,000 detox or to have healthy tissue cut out to get relief
By the end, you'll know what rapid weight loss really does to your skin, which procedures match which problem, and how to avoid wasting money on fixes that were never going to work for your specific situation.

The longevity world has convinced a generation of women that protein is shortening their lives. The science says they've got it backwards and the people hurt most are the ones who need protein most.
In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon breaks down the protein-and-longevity fear, steelmans the strongest case against protein, then walks through what the evidence shows:
- The RDA (0.8 g/kg) is a deficiency floor, not a target, the intake one camp calls "dangerously high" is what federal guidelines and expert groups now recommend (1.2–1.6 g/kg)
- The IGF-1–cancer link is tiny (a 3–11% risk bump vs. smoking's 1,000–2,000%), and the IGF-1–mortality curve is U-shaped: the lowest levels carry ~40% higher death risk
- Sarcopenia roughly doubles death risk (3.5× with frailty) and perimenopause stacks anabolic resistance on top, exactly when women are told to fear the foods that defend them
By the end, you'll understand the mTOR and IGF-1 science well enough that nobody online can scare you off your own dinner, plus a simple Monday-morning plan: adequate protein, front-loaded, built on minimally processed foods, with heavy lifting to match.

The parasites most Americans think of as a tropical problem are already here; showing up as fatigue, asthma, and gut issues that standard tests keep calling "normal." An estimated 1 in 20 people may carry one and never know it.
In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Peter Hotez, a tropical-medicine physician and vaccine scientist, to discuss:
- Why toxocariasis, a worm shed by household dogs and cats, may affect 5–6% of the U.S. population, with larvae migrating through the lungs and brain
- Why standard PCR panels come back negative and which specific tests (antibody, fecal, eosinophil count) to ask for
- How to lower your risk at home, from deworming pets on a vet schedule to knowing which symptoms warrant a targeted test
- Why the popular "worm therapy for autoimmune disease" idea has the relationship backwards, worms are a leading driver of IBD and asthma, not a cure
Whether you've been told your labs are fine but still feel off, this conversation gives you a clear, evidence-based framework for what to test for and how to protect your family from infections hiding in plain sight.

You might think microplastics are just an environmental nuisance that passes through your body, but the latest tissue studies tell a very different story. As a physician, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon breaks down where the science lands, past both the fear-mongering and the dismissiveness.
In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses:
- Why over 58% of patients in a landmark NEJM study had plastic embedded in their arterial plaque and the 4.5x higher risk of heart attack, stroke, and death that came with it
- How microplastics act as a "Trojan horse," carrying endocrine-disrupting chemicals into your blood, testes, brain, and reproductive tissue
- Why perimenopause and menopause are an especially vulnerable window for plastic-driven hormone disruption
- The five low-cost "Lyon Protocol" rules to cut your exposure, starting with never microwaving plastic and letting food cool before you store it
This matters because you don't need to overhaul your life or wait twenty years for perfect data to protect your cellular health; you just need the handful of small, automated decisions that move the needle on your metabolic and hormonal baseline.

You've been told that 10,000 steps a day is enough to keep you healthy but when it comes to your bones and your muscles, walking falls short, and the science explains exactly why. The real drivers of strength, bone density, and lasting health are load, intensity, and resistance, not just movement.
In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Alyssa Olenick, a PhD in exercise metabolism and ultramarathoner who blends endurance and strength training, to discuss:
- Why the "interference effect," the fear that cardio cancels your strength gains, is overblown for almost everyone, and what causes the carryover fatigue
- How most women train too lightly, believing they're at a 9 out of 10 when they're closer to a 5, and never trigger real muscle adaptation
- Why estrogen is not the primary driver of muscle, resistance training is, and what that means through the menopause transition
- The early warning signs of low energy availability, including cycle changes that show up long before a missed period, and the rapid bone loss that follows
- How to structure strength, power, and cardio together, and fuel it properly without sabotaging recovery
You'll walk away knowing how to train for strength, power, and bone density that lasts and why being undertrained, not fragile, is the real problem for most women.

You were told your testosterone is "normal" so why do you still feel exhausted, weak, and off? The number on your lab report was never built for you, and your own genetics may be the reason it doesn't match how you feel.
In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses:
- Why the standard 300–1000 ng/dL range ignores your age, comorbidities, and genetics, and why two men with identical labs can feel completely different
- How CAG repeats determine whether your body "catches" the testosterone you produce, meaning you might need 400 to feel great while someone else needs 800
- Why the 80-year-old fear that testosterone fuels prostate cancer is built on a single flawed 1941 study, and what the androgen saturation model proves instead
- How everyday endocrine disruptors BPA in receipts, phthalates in personal care, atrazine in tap water quietly lower your testosterone even when you eat clean and train hard
- The correct AUA testing protocol your doctor may be skipping: two early-morning, fasted measurements plus actual symptoms, not one afternoon blood draw
Understanding how your own body uses testosterone lets you walk into your doctor's office armed with facts instead of frustration and stop being told you're "fine" when you don't feel it.

For 40 years you've been told 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram is "enough" but the scientists who contributed the reports behind the new 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines say not a single study has ever shown that number beats eating more.
In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Don Layman and Dr. Heather Leidy, the protein researchers who developed the scientific reports informing the new U.S. Dietary Guidelines, to discuss:
Why the guidelines reprioritized protein to a healthy range of 1.2–1.6 g/kg and why that still isn't technically "high protein"
Why you don't really have a protein requirement, but an essential amino acid requirement and what that means for your brain, mood, and antioxidant production
Who's quietly falling short: roughly 20% of women over 60 sit below the RDA, and adolescent girls are among the most consistently deficient
How to spot real protein on a label (Layman's 10-gram threshold) and why most "+protein" snacks are just fairy dust
What a higher-protein breakfast does to afternoon cravings, backed by fMRI brain-reward data
Walk away knowing how much protein you actually need, why "enough to avoid deficiency" and "enough to thrive" are two different numbers, and how to build every meal around protein first so you're covered on the nutrients that matter most.

The receptor that switches off your appetite on a GLP-1 drug is the same one wired into your reward circuitry, your hormones, and your blood vessels, which means when you turn down hunger, something else may be getting turned down too, and for most people taking these drugs, nobody ever checked.
In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses:
- Why the same drug class can improve sexual function in men with obesity while potentially dampening it in lean or postmenopausal women — and why the deciding factor isn't the drug, it's the body
- How rapid weight loss raises SHBG, the protein that soaks up free testosterone, so a "normal" total testosterone result can hide a real deficit your bloodwork won't flag
- Why women make up 60–70% of GLP-1 prescriptions yet the entire evidence base for female sexual function is two case reports, with zero validated questionnaires in any pivotal trial
- The three-tier action plan for anyone on or about to start a GLP-1 — baseline your sexual function first, get free testosterone tested, and protect muscle with protein and resistance training
Whether you're on a GLP-1 drug or considering one, you'll walk away knowing exactly what to measure before you start and what to watch for after — so a change in your sexual health gets caught as the vital sign it is, instead of being quietly dismissed.

You might think more cardio is the key to aging well but Lisa Smith-Batchen, who has run 135 miles through Death Valley ten times, says it's strength that actually carries you through the decades.
In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Lisa Smith-Batchen, one of the most decorated ultra-endurance athletes in American history and a 10-time Badwater 135 finisher, to discuss:
- Why being strong matters more than being fast and why "it's not the running that helps me run, it's being strong"
- The first movement everyone should train at any age: sit to stand, followed by squats, wall sits, lunges, and pushups
- Why cutting protein after 60 backfires, and why Lisa fuels on roughly 80% protein calories during races
- How to start lifting late, her 85-year-old client went from 5-pound weights to 230-pound farmer carries
- The fall that ended her father's life, and why "pick your feet up" became her mission for aging athletes
You'll walk away with a clear, muscle-first blueprint for staying strong, mobile, and independent for life — and the motivation to start today instead of waiting for another Monday.

What does it actually mean to win at the highest level? In this powerful compilation, I’m with 2024 CrossFit Games champion James Sprague, 2023 CrossFit Games champion Laura Horvath, and legendary endurance coach Chris Hinshaw to unpack the mental game behind elite performance, the vulnerability that follows victory, and why champions are often more fragile in the moments just after they win. What does winning mean to you right now?

Most men think erectile dysfunction is a bedroom problem and low testosterone is just a fact of getting older. This roundtable makes the case that both are early warning lights for your heart, your metabolism, and your long-term health and that ignoring them can cost you a decade.
In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with urologists and men's health specialists Dr. Mohit Khera, Dr. Larry Lipshultz, and Dr. Tobias Köhler to discuss:
- Why a 35-year-old with ED carries a ~15% risk of heart attack or stroke within 7 years, ~3.5x the risk of depression, and ~30% odds of diabetes or prediabetes and why a prescription alone misses all of it
- Why "age-related" testosterone decline is largely a misnomer: a healthy man shouldn't drop significantly with age, so falling T usually signals something reversible underneath
- How testosterone became the single best blood marker of a man's overall health, and the case for annual screening that almost no man gets
- What the TRAVERSE trial changed when the FDA removed testosterone's cardiovascular warning in 2025, debunking the prostate-cancer and heart-attack fears
- The 2-minute monthly self-exam every man should do to catch testicular cancer early, when it's ~99% curable
If you've been told your symptoms are "just aging" or you love a man who refuses to see a doctor. This conversation shows you how to read the signals your body gives long before a crisis hits.

Most men think erectile dysfunction is a bedroom problem. It's actually one of the earliest warning signs of cardiovascular disease, capable of showing up three to five years before a heart attack.
In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Amy Pearlman, a urologist trained in men's sexual health, to discuss:
- Why ED is a symptom of vascular health, not a standalone disease and how the artery feeding the heart is roughly double the size of the one feeding the penis, so problems show up "down there" first
- Why "normal" testosterone can be meaningless, and the questions to ask before accepting a lab result that didn't flag
- How daily erections preserve penile tissue the way water keeps a sponge supple and why disuse can cost noticeable size over just a few months
- That cardiovascular exercise can rival ED medication for improving erectile function, making your heart health the real fix
- How to track erectile fitness before there's a problem, instead of waiting until something breaks
By the end, you'll understand the single signal your body uses to flag heart and metabolic risk early and the simple, mostly drug-free steps that protect both your cardiovascular health and your sexual function for life.

Most people think the cholesterol number on their lab report tells them whether their heart is at risk. But former National Lipid Association President Dr. Kevin Maki explains that LDL is just one piece of a much bigger picture and focusing on it alone can mean missing the markers that matter most.
In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Kevin Maki, former President of the National Lipid Association and co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of Clinical Lipidology, to discuss:
- Why ApoB and Lp(a) are better predictors of heart risk than LDL and why only about 2% of people ever get Lp(a) tested
- What a beef-vs-chicken feeding study revealed about red meat and cholesterol (the LDL results came back identical at 112 mg/dL)
- The evidence behind the seed oil debate, including why higher linoleic acid levels tracked with lower inflammation markers across a 2,000-person dataset
- Why the balance of cholesterol-raising and cholesterol-lowering foods matters more than saturated fat alone
- The simple "ABCs" framework: A1c, blood pressure, cholesterol - for actually lowering long-term cardiovascular risk
By the end, you'll know which numbers actually predict heart risk, which tests to ask your doctor for, and how to cut through the conflicting noise around fat so you can make evidence-based decisions for the long haul.

Colorectal cancer is now the leading cancer killer in adults under 50, and patients in their 20s are presenting with metastatic disease that has nothing to do with family history. Most physicians are still telling young patients with rectal bleeding that it's probably just hemorrhoids and that's costing lives.
In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Michelle Pearlman, a board-certified gastroenterologist and founder of a Miami-based gastro-metabolic clinic, to discuss:
- The specific warning signs every adult under 50 should never ignore, regardless of age including rectal bleeding, unintentional weight loss, and persistent abdominal pain
- Why GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Zepbound are being miscategorized as weight loss drugs when they're actually metabolic reprogrammers with applications in fatty liver, sleep apnea, and inflammation
- The protein, fiber, and resistance training protocol Dr. Pearlman uses to protect muscle mass in patients on GLP-1 therapy
- How hormone replacement therapy combined with GLP-1s is changing body composition outcomes for perimenopausal women and why current guidelines are still 20 years behind the data
- Dr. Pearlman's personal osteoporosis diagnosis at 39, despite being a lifelong bodybuilder, and what it revealed about the diagnostic gaps in standard medicine
This conversation gives you the framework to recognize the warning signs most physicians are still missing, and the foundational habits; nutrition, resistance training, and hormone optimization that protect your gut, bones, and muscle through midlife and beyond.

Most parents are quietly paving the road their kids were supposed to learn to walk on by themselves and Jocko Willink has spent 20 years watching what happens when that road is too smooth.
In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Jocko Willink, retired Navy SEAL commander, founder of Echelon Front, and bestselling author of Extreme Ownership and Discipline Equals Freedom, to discuss:
- Why the "apex parent / apex kid" mindset is a quiet trap, and what to do instead of paving the road
- How nature vs nurture actually plays out and what you can and cannot shape in your child
- The one trait Jocko wants his kids to inherit (and why every virtue becomes a vice when pushed to the extreme)
- The lie that successful, high-functioning people tell themselves about wanting more
- The single most important trait of a great leader and the one habit Jocko says will make every other part of your life better starting tomorrow
You'll walk away with a clearer operating system for the kind of parent, leader, and person you actually want to be and the one habit Jocko swears is the highest-ROI move any human can make.

Most men don't know they have a pelvic floor, and most doctors aren't trained to look for dysfunction in it. The result: testicles are being surgically removed for pain that's actually neuropathic, at double the rate of a far more effective nerve-sparing procedure.
In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Susan Macdonald, a board-certified urologist, surgical program director at Penn State, and one of only ~30 U.S. specialists treating chronic pelvic pain in men, to discuss:
- Why "prostatitis" is often the wrong diagnosis, and how rounds of antibiotics mask the real problem
- The male pelvic floor anatomy almost no medical school teaches, and how to recognize dysfunction in yourself or a patient
- Off-label medications (Cymbalta, gabapentin, amitriptyline) that are quietly transforming chronic pelvic pain treatment
- Why erectile dysfunction is rising sharply in teenagers, and the role pornography plays in rewiring young brains
- Who actually qualifies for a penile implant, and what the surgery really involves
If you've been told your pain is "all in your head," or you're a clinician seeing patients fall through the cracks, this conversation gives you the framework, the language, and the next steps to find real answers.

Most people are chasing the wrong version of strength and paying for it with pain, poor movement, and a body that breaks down faster than it should. In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Mark Bell, elite powerlifter, entrepreneur, and founder of Slingshot, to discuss:
- Why strength training is essential at every age but most people are defining "strength" too narrowly
- How modern life has created an "exercise deficiency," and why artificial exercise is the only fix
- The truth about fat, protein, and the biggest nutrition mistakes holding people back from lasting weight loss
- The emerging peptide and drug landscape, and what it means for the future of health optimization
- Why forcing your kids to move isn't cruelty, it's one of the most protective things you can do as a parent
Whether you're 25 or 75, this episode will challenge how you think about movement, muscle, and what it actually means to be strong physically and mentally.

We are living through one of the most significant shifts in medicine in generations, and most people don’t fully understand what it means. Dr. Christle Guevarra joins me to zoom out on the entire GLP-1 landscape; from the drug’s origins as a modest diabetes treatment in 2005 to today’s third-generation medications still moving through clinical trials, and what all of it means for the future of obesity, performance, and longevity.

The moment you decide to show up publicly, you open the door to opinions from people who would never say those things to your face. Dominique Sachse, journalist, author, and content creator who has lived her life on camera for over three decades, gets honest about what it costs to put yourself out there, why online cruelty is a psychology problem more than a content problem, and how “Teflon Dom” developed the thick skin to let none of it redirect her.

Only nine scientists were asked to advise on the 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and Dr. Tom Brenna was one of them. In this conversation, he pulls back the curtain on how dietary guidelines are actually made, why the process has never been the same twice, and what it was like to watch a decades-old saturated fat recommendation get carried forward despite a lack of evidence supporting it at the level of total mortality. This is the dietary guidelines conversation the internet has been missing: straight from someone who was actually in the room.

In a world flooded with conflicting health advice, how do you actually figure out what’s true? Dr. David Allison, one of the most rigorous scientific minds in obesity and nutrition research, shared the exact framework he uses to evaluate evidence, from peer-reviewed trials to podcast recommendations to AI-generated summaries. He explains the difference between trusting science as a process and trusting individual studies, why most nutrition epidemiology functions more like advertising than research, and how ordinary people can build a reliable filter for health claims without a PhD.

Up to 70% of dementia may be preventable, so why aren’t more people talking about what actually drives cognitive decline? In this episode, I’m with Dr. Tommy Wood, neuroscientist and author of “The Stimulated Mind,” to explore the lifestyle levers that protect your brain across a lifetime. Learn how white matter hyperintensities develop and whether they can reverse, what MCTs and ketones actually do for a glucose-starved brain, and why social connection may be the most underrated variable in cognitive aging. What is the one change you could make today that would most protect your brain tomorrow?

Metabolic flexibility is your body’s ability to efficiently burn fat or carbohydrate depending on demand, may be one of the most important and least understood markers of long-term health. In this episode, I’m with Dr. Martin Gibala to explore the emerging science of Fat Max, why mitochondrial quality is central to both performance and longevity, and how sprint interval training produces comparable mitochondrial adaptations to traditional endurance work in a fraction of the time. Could the key to better metabolic health be less about the hours you log and more about how hard you’re willing to push?

The most decorated woman in motorsports history will tell you she feared losing far more than she loved winning, and that fear is exactly what drove her to the top. In this episode, I’m with racing legend Danica Patrick to unpack the psychology of elite performance, from the “blind faith” that carried her through two decades of racing to the nervous system conditioning she built starting at age 10. What would be possible for you if you learned to channel pressure instead of escaping it?

Male fertility is declining, and most men have no idea why.
In this episode of The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Michael Eisenberg, Director of Male Reproductive Health at Stanford University and Chief Medical Advisor of SwimClub, to break down what truly determines sperm health and reproductive success.
They discuss:
- How metformin, GLP-1 medications, testosterone therapy, and anabolic steroids affect male fertility
- Why sperm count is a powerful biomarker for long-term health and longevity
- The role of sleep, muscle mass, exercise, diet, marijuana, and environmental toxins like microplastics
- Whether platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, can help severe male infertility
- Daily habits that quietly reduce a couple’s chances of conceiving
If you care about fertility, hormones, metabolic health, or the future of men’s health, this conversation is essential.

Self-doubt holds more people back than lack of skill or intelligence.
In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Shadé Zahrai to explore the science of confidence, self-trust, and peak performance. They break down why confidence comes after action, how self-image shapes success, and the four psychological drivers that determine whether you thrive or stay stuck.
You will learn how body language influences perception, why high performers plan for failure, how perfectionism leads to burnout, and the subtle communication habits that undermine credibility. Most importantly, you will discover how to build what Dr. Zahrai calls Big Trust so you can back yourself before you feel ready.
If you struggle with overthinking, imposter thoughts, or feeling capable but not fully confident, this conversation will give you practical tools to change how you show up.

In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Donald Layman, one of the world’s leading protein researchers and a key contributor to the newly released U.S. Dietary Guidelines. They explore why the old food pyramid failed, how nutrition science became driven by ideology instead of evidence, and what the updated guidelines finally get right about protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Dr. Layman explains why the long-standing protein recommendation of 0.8 g/kg was never intended for optimal health and how higher protein intake supports body composition, metabolic health, and nutrient adequacy.
The conversation also dives into controversial topics including saturated fat, carbohydrate tolerance, animal versus plant protein, and the limitations of epidemiology in nutrition research. Gabrielle and Dr. Layman discuss how dietary guidelines shape school lunches, hospitals, and public institutions, and why a protein-first framework empowers individuals to make better nutrition decisions, especially as we age. This episode offers a clear, science-backed roadmap for understanding modern nutrition — cutting through misinformation and outdated dogma to focus on strength, longevity, and real-world application.

Dr. Lyon introduces the Forever Strong ethos and walks through the four foundational pillars that support a strong life: how to think, how to eat, how to move, and how to recover. She explains why information alone does not change behavior and why clarity, discernment, and disciplined action are the true drivers of lasting health.
Throughout the episode, Dr. Lyon challenges conventional narratives around aging, nutrition, exercise, and recovery. She reframes longevity through the lens of muscle span, the length of time a person lives with healthy, functional skeletal muscle, and explains how physical strength supports metabolic health, emotional regulation, and cognitive resilience.
This episode is an invitation to step out of confusion and into a clear framework for living with intention. Strength is not something we inherit. It is something we build, choice by choice, day by day.

In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is joined by Sohee Carpenter, PhD, to explore the complex intersection of psychology, eating behavior, and resistance training. Dr. Carpenter shares her personal journey from struggling with eating disorders to becoming a leading expert in sports science, offering a unique perspective on why high achievers often struggle with diet adherence.
They dive deep into the science of behavior change, emphasizing that willpower is a finite resource and that true success lies in building automatic, cognitively effortless habits. Dr. Carpenter debunks common fitness myths, including the necessity of "lifting heavy" and the supposed ineffectiveness of circuit training, while providing practical strategies like "habit stacking" and "designing for laziness" to help listeners navigate their own health journeys.

Are your immune cells aging faster than you are? In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Anurag Singh, a leading physician-researcher and Chief Medical Officer at Timeline, to discuss a groundbreaking discovery: the gut-muscle-immune axis.
While we often focus on muscle mass for longevity, new research published in Nature Aging reveals that our immune system undergoes a similar decline, with youthful sentinel cells (naive CD8 T-cells) dropping by 75% as we reach age 50.
Dr. Singh explains how mitophagy —the targeted recycling of damaged mitochondria—is the key to "rewiring" an aging immune system to fight infection 20% more effectively. In this episode: Alzheimer’s of the Muscle: Why sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) is often misdiagnosed as simple aging.
The Power of Urolithin A: How this postbiotic compound induces mitophagy to increase mitochondrial abundance by 20% in just 28 days. Immune Imprinting: Why children get 6-8 colds a year while adults only average 2-4. Repurposing Longevity Drugs: Dr. Singh’s take on Metformin, Rapamycin, and GLP-1s for life extension. The 1:1 Exercise Rule:Why 150 minutes of moderate activity is the threshold for mitochondrial biogenesis.

If you are only focusing on building muscle, you are missing half the equation for long-term mobility. In this mashup episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon brings together top orthopedic experts to discuss the critical importance of joint and tendon health.
While muscle develops relatively quickly, your tendons and ligaments can take 6 to 9 months to fully adapt to a new training stimulus. This gap is where most injuries happen. We dive deep into the biological mechanics of tendons, the"athletic accommodation timeline," and why you must progressively overload your connective tissue—not just your muscle bellies.
You will learn:
- The Menopause Connection: Why women face a 30% higher risk of arthritis and rapid bone loss after age 50, and the role of estrogen in joint inflammation.
- Osteoporosis Prevention: Why high-impact "flight" exercises (jumping) are more effective for bone density than traditional lifting alone.
- The Frozen Shoulder Mystery: How to identify the warning signs and why this condition is often linked to hormonal shifts rather than trauma.
- Injury Recovery & Prehab: The truth about PRP, needle tenotomy, and the "anti-fragility" mindset needed to build a resilient body.
- The History of Muscle: How ancient Greek views of "pneuma" and the "gift of strength" shaped our modern misunderstanding of movement.
Stop training until you break. Learn how to track your progress, prioritize stability over raw mobility, and design a life built for anti-fragility.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with renowned medical correspondent and OB/GYN, Dr. Jen Ashton, for a profoundly personal and candid conversation about navigating life's most intense tragedies while maintaining a public career.
Dr. Ashton bravely opens up about the devastating suicide of her first husband, a world-class surgeon, 18 days after their divorce was finalized. She shares the raw reality of being in clinical shock and how the immense tragedy became an unexpected catalyst for post-traumatic growth.
Dr. Ashton, who holds a Master's degree in Nutritional Sciences, also brings her medical expertise to current health debates:
- The Power of Fitness: Learn how resistance training became Dr. Ashton's lifeline to snap her out of emotional numbness and shock.
- The Hormone Misinformation Crisis: They discuss the flawed data and flawed media that led to 20 years of women being under-treated for menopause after the Women's Health Initiative (WHI).
- GLP-1 Myths: Dr. Ashton breaks down the top myths surrounding GLP-1 medications, the difference between absolute vs. relative risk, and the non-weight related benefits that are just beginning to emerge.
- The Problem with Extremes: They address the societal tendency to seek out quick-fix solutions in health, menopause, and obesity care, arguing that the true sweet spot is in a nuanced, moderate position.
- Finding Love Again: Dr. Ashton shares the unexpected miracle of finding profound love with her current husband, legendary sports executive and TV producer, Tom Werner.
About Jen Ashton: Retiring stiff paper gowns and unrelatable medical advice, Dr. Jennifer Ashton, a Board-certified Ob-Gyn, author, and TV medical correspondent, breaks the barrier between doctor and patient. Affectionately referred to as your all-in-one ‘BFF’/Ob-Gyn, Dr. Jennifer Ashton marries an unparalleled medical background with an accessible‘girl’s-girl’ attitude. Though Dr. Ashton can easily speak to the latest beauty and fashion trends, this Ivy League graduate means business when it comes to women’s health.

In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Heidi van den Brink; one of the only scientists in the world studying the ovarian transition from fertility to menopause. Together, they unpack what textbooks and wellness influencers often miss: the biology behind how your ovaries, uterus, metabolism, and nutrition interact across every stage of a woman’s life.
Dr. Heidi reveals the never-before-seen dynamics of the ovarian cycle, how follicles develop in “waves,” and what really happens during the menopause transition. They discuss how undernutrition, obesity, and metabolic health shape reproductive hormones; why early menarche and delayed ovulation matter for long-term health; and the surprising connection between your gut microbiome, bile acids, and fertility.
If you’ve ever been told to “balance your hormones” with seed cycling, apps, or supplements, this episode separates myths from mechanisms. It’s a masterclass in understanding the science of your hormones and how to truly support reproductive health through every decade of life.

In this highly requested AMA, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon addresses the most critical questions surrounding male hormone health. Dr. Lyon tackles the fear, stigma, and misinformation surrounding Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), revealing why a low testosterone level is a major predictor of serious health issues like heart disease, bone fracture, and obesity.
She breaks down the current medical consensus on TRT, the risks of replacement, the truth about dosing, and what every man over 40 needs to know about their hormone health. This is a must-watch to separate the bodybuilding myths from the medical facts.

Key Takeaways:
- Low Testosterone is a major health risk. Low T is linked to an increased risk of bone fracture, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.
- TRT is often protective. Contrary to the long-standing myth, replacing low testosterone to a healthy range does not increase the risk of cardiac events. It is, in fact, protective against cardiovascular disease.
- Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a canary in the coal mine. ED can predict a heart attack within 3 to 5 years.
- Men can maintain high T levels. Testosterone levels in a healthy 75-year-old can be just as good as in a man in his 20s.
- The solution is often concurrent. For an obese or overweight man with low T, concurrent treatment with TRT and a lifestyle intervention is often the most responsible approach to provide the motivation needed for weight loss.
- Low-dose daily Cialis (2.5mg to 5mg) may be a viable preemptive strategy for cardiovascular health due to its blood flow benefits.

In this episode, I sit down with nutritional physiologist and friend Nick Barringer, PhD, to tackle a crucial, yet often misunderstood, topic: women's hormonal health. We expose the devastating impact of the Women's Health Initiative study and why millions of women are left untreated for menopause symptoms, leading to an increased risk of issues like osteoporosis and Alzheimer's.
This is a no-nonsense guide for every woman, regardless of age, who wants to understand her hormones and advocate for her health. We cover everything from the importance of muscle and a low-inflammation lifestyle to the truth about Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) for women.

In a powerful episode of the Dr. Gabrielle Lyon show, I sit down with my mentor, Dr. Donald Layman, to directly address some of the most common protein myths. We react to a controversial clip from the Huberman Lab podcast with Dr. Christopher Gardner, offering a different perspective on the conversation about protein intake, metabolic science, and dietary guidelines.
Dr. Layman, a pioneer in protein research, breaks down the outdated science behind the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), the flaws of nitrogen balance studies, and why a protein-conscious approach is crucial for your long-term health, not just for building muscle.
This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who wants to cut through the confusion and understand what the science really says about protein, from its role in metabolism to why a grain-based diet may be leaving you deficient.

In this groundbreaking episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Tobias Kohler, a professor of urology at the Mayo Clinic, to discuss a topic most people are afraid to talk about: men's sexual health.
Dr. Kohler shares eye-opening insights, backed by over two decades of clinical experience and research, on the powerful link between foundational health habits and male sexual function. They reveal why erectile dysfunction is a critical "check engine light" for heart disease and how building muscle and exercising can improve not just your erections, but your overall longevity.
This conversation goes beyond simple fixes, providing actionable, science-based information that every man needs to hear.

Erections: A “Check Engine Light” for Your Health
One of the most striking points from the discussion was Dr. Kohler’s perspective on erectile dysfunction (ED). He described it not just as a sexual problem, but as one of the earliest "check engine lights" for heart disease. The blood vessels leading to the penis are much smaller than those in the heart. As we age, plaque can build up in these vessels. This process, known as atherosclerosis, affects the smaller vessels first.
This means if you're experiencing persistent issues with erections, it's a strong indicator that you may have vascular problems that could soon affect your heart. As Dr. Kohler put it, "If the penis is failing, you should assume you're going to have problems with your heart soon until proven otherwise." The good news is that anything good for your heart—like exercise and a healthy diet—is also good for your penis.
The "Use-It-or-Lose-It" Organ
The conversation also tackled the surprising phenomenon of penile shortening. When the penis goes into a "garage" for an extended period—meaning there is a consistent lack of erections—it can lose length. Dr. Kohler shared that a consistent lack of erections for just three months can lead to a loss of 1-2 centimeters in length due to the formation of scar tissue. This is why he calls the penis a "use-it-or-lose-it" organ. The key to maintaining penile health is to exercise the penis through erections, and tools like a vacuum erection device can be used for penile rehabilitation.
Muscle Mass, Testosterone, and Sexual Function
For many men, this is where the conversation gets personal. Dr. Kohler highlighted the direct correlation between muscle mass and erectile quality. Studies show that men with more muscle mass have better erections and higher testosterone levels. The reverse is also true: men with less muscle mass often have lower testosterone, lower libido, and worse erections.
In fact, a modest 10% decrease in body weight can be as effective as ED medication in improving erections. Regular exercise also plays a huge role. Dr. Kohler cited a study that found 150 minutes of exercise per week decreased the rate of ED by 20%, while 300 minutes decreased it by nearly 40%. The takeaway is clear: if you want to improve your sexual function and overall longevity, you have to move iron and get strong.
The Pillars of Health and the Point of No Return
Dr. Kohler emphasized that before considering surgical options like a penile implant, men should focus on the foundational pillars of health: diet, exercise, sleep, and stress mitigation. These core tenants are the first line of defense against ED and other chronic diseases.

Muscle health isn’t just about how much protein you eat—it’s about how your body uses it. And for people with obesity or advancing age, that process can become less effective, even with optimal nutrition.
In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Nick Burd, one of the world’s leading researchers in muscle metabolism, to unpack the concept of anabolic resistance—when muscle doesn’t respond normally to protein and/or exercise. Together, we explore how aging, obesity and even the way foods are combined on your plate can impact muscle remodeling, recovery, and growth. Dr. Burd also shares why plant-based proteins often fall short, why protein efficiency matters more than quantity, and how endurance and resistance training affect nutrient use differently.
You’ll learn:
- What anabolic resistance is—and why it matters
- How to improve protein efficiency and muscle quality over time
- Why food matrix, and timing can change your results
- Key differences in nutrition strategies for endurance vs. strength athletes
Whether you're focused on longevity, performance, or helping someone break through a plateau, this episode delivers the research-backed information you’ve been looking for.
Who is Dr. Nick Burd?
Dr. Nick A. Burd is a muscle-metabolism scientist and professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he leads the Nutrition & Exercise Performance Research Group. Originally from the Midwest, he trained under renowned experts around the world before focusing his research on how protein and exercise influence muscle health across the lifespan. His work uses advanced tracer methods and muscle biopsies to explore optimal protein intake, plant vs. animal protein quality, and strategies to combat anabolic resistance.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. David Klurfeld—longtime USDA scientist and one of the few insiders to publicly challenge the WHO's classification of red meat as a carcinogen. We go deep into the flawed evidence behind the infamous 2015 IARC report, why nutritional epidemiology often fails to prove causality, and how a small group of researchers helped shape global policy with low-quality science. If you've ever felt confused about meat, saturated fat, or dietary guidelines, this conversation will help you think critically about what “counts” as evidence—and who gets to decide.
We cover:
- Dr. Klurfeld’s personal journey and lessons from a career in public health
- Why the 2015 IARC red meat classification was based on weak and inconsistent evidence
- How observational studies and “allegiance bias” mislead nutrition science
- The politics of dietary guidelines and the role of the USDA and WHO
- What the media got wrong—and why red meat remains a nutrient-dense food
Whether you're a clinician, dietitian, or simply trying to make better nutrition decisions, this episode is a powerful reminder that bias, groupthink and weak data can distort science and mislead the public. We need to be discerning about the nutrition and health advice we follow.
Who is Dr. David Klurfeld?
Dr. David Klurfeld is a nutritional scientist and former National Program Leader for Human Nutrition at the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service. He also served as Professor and Chair of Nutrition and Food Science at Wayne State University and Associate Editor of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. He has authored more than 200 scientific publications and was one of 22 experts invited to the 2015 IARC working group on red meat and cancer. He is a longtime advocate for scientific integrity in public health policy.

What if your biggest challenge isn’t motivation but missing structure? In this episode, I sit down with Brian Johnson to unpack the science and philosophy of lasting behavior change. We explore the power of ancient wisdom, stoicism, and the neuroscience of excellence, and why most wellness apps fail to deliver real transformation.
Brian shares his personal journey from startup success to creating a global movement around character, discipline, and identity-based habits. We talk about the science of anti-fragility, how muscle mirrors virtue, and why the gap between who you are and who you could be is the true source of suffering. Whether you're a high performer or someone who wants to stop breaking promises to yourself, this conversation will help you build the structure to show up as your best—no matter the circumstance.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why most behavior change fails—and what the science says works
- The philosophy of Areté: how to close the gap between potential and action
- How ancient stoicism aligns with modern recovery, resilience, and muscle
- Why building muscle is a metaphor (and mechanism) for building character
- The true definition of anti-fragility—and how to train it
If you're ready to bridge the gap between knowing and doing, this episode is the roadmap you've been looking for.
Who is Brian Johnson?
Brian Johnson has spent half of the last 25 years as a Founder/CEO and the other half as a Philosopher.

When it comes to performance, more isn’t always better. In this episode, I sit down with conditioning expert Joel Jamieson to explore the science of recovery, aerobic fitness, and how to use heart rate variability (HRV) to train smarter. They dive into why elite athletes recover so quickly, the long-term value of zone 2 training, and how HRV reflects your resilience—not just your readiness. Joel shares lessons from two decades of working with fighters, Olympians, and NFL players, along with powerful insights from his own cardiovascular health journey. Whether you’re a high performer or simply want to live longer and stronger, this episode is packed with practical takeaways.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What HRV actually tells you—and what it doesn’t
- Why aerobic fitness is one of the strongest drivers of recovery and longevity
- The surprising downside of too much strength training
- How to monitor training load and avoid overtraining
- Why lifestyle stress matters more than your workout
This episode will change the way you think about training—and reveal why recovery deserves a central role in your performance strategy.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Ty Beal—global nutrition researcher and Senior Technical Specialist at the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN)—to uncover the hidden epidemic of micronutrient deficiencies worldwide. From food access and affordability to ultra-processed diets and nutrient bioavailability, we explore how modern food systems are failing billions and what needs to change to truly make the world healthier.
We cover:
- Why 3 billion people can’t afford a healthy diet—and how that affects nutrient status
- The most common global and U.S. micronutrient deficiencies (and why they’re often overlooked)
- Why women and children are especially vulnerable during pregnancy, infancy, and adolescence
- The role of ultra-processed foods in displacing nutrient-rich options
- How bioavailability, anti-nutrients, and the “food matrix” impact your real nutrient intake
- Why plant-based diets aren’t always safer—and the hidden risks of nutrient shortfalls
- The science behind biofortification, food system reform, and why animal-source foods stil matter
- What the U.S. gets wrong about food guidelines, global trade, and nutritional equity
Whether you care about maternal health, child development, or just making better nutrition decisions, this is a vital conversation about nutrient density, food justice, and global health.
Who is Dr. Ty Beal?
Dr. Ty Beal is a Senior Technical Specialist and global nutrition scientist at the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) where he leads research on global food systems, nutrient inadequacy, and diet quality. His work bridges science and policy to help address the world’s most pressing nutrition challenges—especially among vulnerable populations.

In today's episode, I had the chance to speak to muscle physiology researcher and science communicator Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple. Together, we unpack the common claims around hormones and training—from whether you should change your workouts based on your cycle, to the real effects of fasted cardio and birth control on performance and muscle growth. We also explore how menopause affects body composition, what the science actually supports when it comes to training differences between men and women, and why some of the most persistent myths about women’s physiology are based more on assumption than evidence.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why women’s physiology is not a limitation for building muscle
- Whether training around your menstrual cycle or avoiding fasted workouts is necessary
- The truth about oral contraceptives and their impact on performance, hypertrophy, and strength
- How menopause affects body composition—and what you can do about it
- Why consistency and progressive overload matter more than hormone fluctuations
- How much protein and resistance training women actually need—and when to eat it
This conversation is for every woman who’s been told her physiology is too complicated to train effectively. It’s not. The science is finally catching up—and Lauren is helping lead the charge.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan—one of the leading researchers in exercise physiology and women’s metabolism—to unpack the science of how women should be training through perimenopause, postmenopause, and beyond. We dive into the physiological changes that impact body composition, performance, and recovery—and how to adjust training and nutrition to match.
We discuss:
- How high-intensity interval training (HIIT) improves VO₂ max, fat oxidation, and muscle quality in women
- Whether fasted training helps or hurts, and why so many women are under-fueled
- What the science really says about lifting heavy and building muscle over 40
- Nutrient timing, rest intervals, and why sex-based differences in physiology matter
- What we still don’t know about hormone therapy, protein needs, and female-specific adaptations
If you’re navigating training, muscle loss, or metabolic changes through midlife, this conversation will give you clarity, confidence, and evidence-based strategies you can actually use.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Melanie Cree—physician-scientist, pediatric endocrinologist, and one of the leading researchers redefining how we understand and treat Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS affects millions of women, yet it's still underdiagnosed, misunderstood, and often mistreated. Dr. Cree cuts through the confusion, offering a deeply scientific yet compassionate look at what’s really driving this complex condition—from insulin resistance and mitochondrial dysfunction to skeletal muscle quality and fertility trajectories across a woman’s lifespan.
We cover:
- Why PCOS isn’t a single disease—and what two phenotypes may explain the full picture
- How muscle, liver, and fat interact in PCOS
- The misunderstood role of testosterone, insulin, and SHBG in diagnosis
- What muscle biopsies reveal about teenage girls with PCOS
- Intramuscular fat, mitochondrial impairment, and the true cost of sedentary muscle
- How early lifestyle and exercise interventions could change the future of PCOS care
- What GLP-1 agonists and amino acid supplements might offer for treatment
Whether you’re a clinician, patient, or advocate for women’s health, this episode will give you a whole new lens on PCOS—and why skeletal muscle may be the most overlooked (and powerful) organ in the conversation.
Who is Dr. Melanie Cree?
Dr. Melanie Cree is a board-certified pediatric endocrinologist and Associate Professor at the University of Colorado and Children’s Hospital Colorado, where she directs a leading multidisciplinary PCOS clinic. Her research bridges metabolic medicine and muscle physiology, with clinical trials exploring semaglutide, amino acid therapy, liver metabolism, and insulin resistance in adolescents.

Nelson Vergel’s story is one of resilience, perseverance, and an unrelenting drive to defy the odds. In the mid-1980s, he was handed what many would have considered a death sentence—an HIV diagnosis at a time when there were no effective treatments, no clear answers, and little hope. Today, he is a beacon of knowledge and empowerment for those seeking to take control of their health, whether they are dealing with wasting conditions, hormone deficiencies, or simply aiming for peak performance. Nelson has spent decades researching and advocating for hormone health, muscle preservation, and medical autonomy, particularly for those facing wasting conditions like HIV and cancer. His work has helped shape the conversation around androgen therapies, the role of anabolic agents in aging, and the intersection of GLP-1 medications with muscle loss.
We cover:
- Nelson's personal journey from an HIV diagnosis to hormone optimization
- The history, misconceptions and stigma surrounding anabolic agents
- The differences between various anabolic agents and how they work
- The impact of GLP-1 medications on lean mass and how to mitigate muscle loss
- Best practices for hormone monitoring and optimization
If you want to hear an inspiring story of overcoming the odds to take control of your own health or you’re curious about anabolic therapies and longevity, you can’t miss this one.
Who is Nelson Vergel?
Nelson Vergel is a chemical engineer, author, and health advocate who has made significant contributions to men's health and hormone optimization. His most recent book, Beyond Testosterone, provides a detailed color guide to educate clinicians and patients about the latest advances in the use of testosterone, anabolics, and other therapies to maximize health and productivity.

Can you Build Muscle without Heavy Lifting? Join Dr. Gabrielle Lyon as she sits down with Dr. Jeremey Loenneke, an associate professor of exercise science at the University of Mississippi and one of the world’s leading experts in blood flow restriction (BFR) training. They discuss the science behind skeletal muscle adaptation, how BFR can help you get stronger without heavy weights, and why muscle growth and strength aren’t always the same thing.
Dr. Loenneke shares insights on how BFR works—using low loads to trigger muscle adaptation and growth—and the potential benefits for recovery, rehabilitation, and even everyday training for those wanting to avoid joint strain. They also explore some fascinating phenomena like cross-education, where training one side of your body can strengthen the other side.
Key Highlights:
- The basics and benefits of blood flow restriction training
- How to build muscle with low weight loads
- The difference between muscle growth and muscle strength
- Practical applications of BFR in both sports and rehabilitation

Innovating Women’s HealthIn this episode of The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, I sit down with the incredible Cindy Eckert—serial entrepreneur, founder of Sprout Pharmaceuticals, and the driving force behind Addyi (commonly known as “the female Viagra”). Cindy shares her groundbreaking journey in advocating for women’s sexual health, challenging the medical system, and fighting for equal treatment in medicine.
Cindy reveals the startling double standards between male and female sexual health, recounting her experiences bringing Addyi to market and navigating the resistance she faced. Together, we dive deep into why women’s pleasure, health, and biology have been historically overlooked and undervalued, and why now more than ever, the conversation must change.
Key highlights:
- Why women deserve proof and evidence-based treatments
- The untold challenges behind bringing Addyi (the female Viagra) to market
- How we can change the conversation around women’s health
If you want to learn more about the untold truths of women’s health and why this conversation is so critical, hit play and join us for this powerful discussion.
Who is Cindy Eckert?
Cindy Eckert is a self-made serial entrepreneur and fierce advocate for women, known for her bold leadership and mission to empower female entrepreneurs through her Pinkubator. Over her 24-year career in healthcare, Cindy has built and sold two companies for over $1.5 billion, including Sprout Pharmaceuticals, which introduced the first FDA-approved drug for low sexual desire in women, often called "female Viagra." After selling Sprout for $1 billion, she fought to reclaim the drug and relaunched it on her own terms. Cindy’s work, widely featured in major media, focuses on creating mission-driven companies with a profound impact, and she is committed to helping others achieve success.
What is ADDYI?
ADDYI is for premenopausal women with acquired, generalized hypoactive (low) sexual desire disorder who have not had problems with low sexual desire in the past, and who have low sexual desire no matter the type of sexual activity, the situation or the sexual partner. The low sexual desire is troubling to them and is not due to a medical or mental health problem, problems in the relationship or medicine or other drug use. ADDYI is not for use in men or to enhance sexual performance.
Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting is increased if you drink 1-2 standard alcoholic drinks close in time to your ADDYI dose. Wait at least 2 hours after drinking before taking ADDYI at bedtime. Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting is also increased if you take certain prescription, over the counter or herbal medications, or have liver problems. Low blood pressure and fainting can happen when you take ADDYI even if you don’t drink alcohol or take other medicines. Do not take if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in ADDYI. Allergic reactions may include hives, itching or trouble breathing. Sleepiness, sometimes serious, can occur. Common side effects include dizziness, nausea, tiredness, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep and dry mouth. See full PI and Medication Guide, including Boxed Warning at addyi.com/pi or call 844-PINK-PILL.

This special episode is a solocast for me to personally introduce to you my new book, Forever Strong: A New Science Based Strategy for Aging. I'm so excited to share it with you. It took two years and 20 years of experience to bring you the information in these pages. You cannot correct a problem if the foundation and framework for thinking of that problem is wrong. That is where muscle centric medicine was born, from a desire and need to move the needle for you to be able to take charge of your own health and wellness. In my book, I give you exactly what to do, exactly how you need to think about things, and what you need to execute. This concept of obesity pained me to the point that everything in this book, and what I talk about, is to change the trajectory of your life. To allow us all as a society to not be left floundering by flawed nutrition and exercise recommendations.
In this episode I discuss:
- Training plans for everyone from beginners to experts.
- How to address your personal weaknesses and triggers.
- What is Muscle Centric Medicine and why is it so important?
- The ideal protein and carbohydrate balance.
