Skeletal Muscle + Health with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon PH241

<p>Your skeletal muscles make up nearly half your body weight, and while they are widely recognized as critical for locomotion, their lesser-known functions include increasing metabolism, protecting neurological health, and more.</p> <p>Dr. Lyon recently joined me for a live Q&A-style webinar hosted by CrossFit Health with a focus on why it’s important to maintain adequate muscle mass to promote long-term health, and I’m sharing that content here.</p> <p>Dr. Lyon is a functional medicine physician specializing in muscle-centric medicine, which focuses on the key role skeletal muscle plays in health and longevity. By using high-quality protein diets, supplements, and resistance training, she helps a variety of patients, from those suffering with sarcopenia or prediabetes to elite military operators, reduce chronic disease risk and improve longevity.</p> <p>You can join me live for next month’s webinar featuring Dr. George Slavich on January 19th at 7 PM Eastern.  Keep an eye out on<a href='http://crossfit.com'> CrossFit.com</a> for registration details.</p> <p>Related Episodes:</p> <p><a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1019070179?i=1000509428256'>Ep 183  - Robb Wolf on The Case for (Better) Meat</a></p> <p><a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1019070179?i=1000528708826'>Ep 204 - Dr. Gabrielle Lyon on Maximizing Muscle Mass for Health</a></p> <p>To learn more about CrossFit Health and how to get involved as a healthcare provider or patient visit health.crossfit.com.</p> <p>If you like this episode, please subscribe to Pursuing Health on iTunes and give it a rating or share your feedback on social media using the hashtag #PursuingHealth.
