In this episode of the Clinician’s Corner, we explore the critical and until now unsung role of muscle to our long-term health with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon. She unpacks the key roles that protein plays in health and longevity, from the benefits for our skeletal muscle health to its role in preventing metabolic disease and cognitive decline.

We discuss: 

• Muscle protein synthesis and protein intake across ages and training levels.
• Optimal protein intake for skeletal muscle health (with a primary focus on whole-food diet).
• Role of amino acid supplementation to support optimal protein intake (beyond diet).
• The complexity and importance of protein and amino acids for bodily functions.
• How to combat muscle loss and optimize body recomposition.
• Critical role of skeletal muscle in metabolic and cognitive health.
