Dr. Gabrielle Lyon

A physician hosts deep dives and expert interviews focused on muscle as the key to longevity, performance, and metabolic health.

The brief

This show is the audio extension of Dr. Lyon's 'Muscle-Centric Medicine®' practice, which reframes health and longevity around skeletal muscle as the body's most important organ. Episodes are a mix of solo, evidence-based lectures on specific medical topics (like GLP-1s or vitamin D) and long-form interviews. The interviews feature either world-class athletes and coaches discussing performance, or medical specialists for roundtable discussions on topics like hormone health.

The show's unique 'Muscle-Centric' framework provides a consistent lens through which all health topics are viewed. Unlike many health podcasts, it bridges the gap between elite athletic performance, with guests like CrossFit champions, and clinical medicine, featuring roundtables with fellow physicians.
