Dr. Gabrielle Lyon on Why Muscle Matters More Than You Think

In this brand new Life Above the Noise conversation, board-certified physician and founder of the Forever Strong movement, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon tells Maria: If you've been avoiding the weight room because you're worried about getting bulky, you have it all wrong. She says strength training, especially in midlife, is NOT optional. The reality? It's very difficult to put on visible muscle, even training five days a week. But muscle health is about more than just appearance. It's about fall prevention, metabolic health, and protecting your brain as you age. Dr. Lyon's aha moment came from studying women in midlife who'd done what society told them to: stayed thin, watched their weight. But their brains showed early Alzheimer's signs. Lyon says they weren’t over fat, they were under muscled. This discovery led her to focus more on muscle quality and the fat within it rather than overall body fat percentage. "It's the difference between a filet and a wagyu steak." She and Maria also discuss why muscle is the organ of longevity (the only one we control completely), why protein becomes essential as we age, how building strength doesn't require an expensive gym (body weight training at home three days a week makes a real difference), and how she manages her big mission alongside motherhood while staying focused in a noisy world. It's practical science from her new book The Forever Strong Playbook, delivered in a way that makes sense for real life. Clear, grounded, and empowering without the hype. You'll be glad you tuned in.
