| Is It Too Late to Build Muscle in Menopause? No. Here's What the Studies Show | 01 Oct 2026 | 00:17:00 | |
Will I get too bulky?" No. "Is it too late?" Also no. Here's the context: during the menopause transition, women lose lean mass, gain fat, and their muscle becomes harder to build — the same workout and the same protein meal produce less than they did at 30. For years the only conversation has been hormone therapy, yes or no, as if that were the fix. In Part 2 of her menopause series, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon looks at what the evidence actually says builds muscle back. In this episode: -Postmenopausal women can build muscle and strength at any age (Frontiers in Endocrinology) - Up to 8 lbs of skeletal muscle in 12 weeks (J Nutr Health Aging RCT) - Anabolic resistance: why the same workout and the same meal produce less after menopause - "I was wrong": hormone therapy vs. lifting, and the conversations with Dr. Donald Layman - HRT alone and lean mass: a 0.06 kg difference across 12 trials - Estradiol plus training: bigger quad and fat-free mass gains, maintained at 12 months - Lift first — the practical translation while the HRT evidence evolves - Why protein matters more after menopause, and why 60 g spread thin isn't enough - The RDA (0.8 g/kg) isn't enough to protect bone; ESCEO's 1–1.2 g/kg floor - Doubling protein to 1.6 g/kg: more fat lost, more lean mass kept - The 6-step Forever Strong menopause protocol Sponsor David Protein — 28 g of protein, 150 calories, zero sugar → davidprotein.com/drlyon, subscribe to save 10% on every order Find Dr. Gabrielle Lyon at: - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/ - TikTok: tiktok.com/@drgabriellelyon - Facebook: facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyon - X: x.com/drgabriellelyon - Apply to become a patient – https://drgabriellelyon.com/new-patient-inquiry/ - Weekly newsletter – https://institute-for-muscle-centric-medicine.ck.page Chapters: 00:00 Will I get too bulky?

| How to Prepare Your Body for Surgery: Protein, Prehab and the 5 Days That Change Your Recovery | Dr. Rebecca Knackstedt | 29 Sep 2026 | 01:17:50 | |
Most patients are told one thing before surgery: stop all supplements. Duke surgeon Dr. Rebecca Knackstedt says that blanket advice can do harm, and that what you do in the days before surgery changes how you heal. Dr. Knackstedt is a plastic and reconstructive microsurgeon on faculty at Duke, an MD-PhD researcher and a certified functional medicine provider whose research focuses on surgical prehabilitation: preparing the body, mind, and home before surgery, the way we already do with rehab. In today’s episode, we discuss: • What prehab looks like for any operation • The labs she checks • Which supplements to keep and which to stop (omega-3s do not increase bleeding) • Hormones after breast cancer • Why mammograms still beat thermography • What chemo does to metabolism • The questions to ask your oncologist before a treatment decision • How much protein to eat (no standard exists, and the average woman gets 60 to 70 grams a day, well short of the 100-gram floor) • Why surgery is catabolic and muscle is your reserve • Carbohydrate loading before the fasting cutoff and why it can reduce pain • The five-day window that lowered complications and even mortality in head and neck cancer patients • Why early walking replaced routine bed rest Connect with Dr. Knackstedt Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/surgical_recovery/ Website → https://www.clararecovery.com/ Sponsors • Perfect Amino by BodyHealth, https://bit.ly/4wZgg6N, code LYON20 for 20% off your first order • Timeline Mitopure → https://bit.ly/4x18cm5, for an extra 20% off • Lola Blankets → lolablankets.com (http://lolablankets.com/), code: DRLYON for 40% off select blankets (limited time) Find Dr. Gabrielle Lyon at: • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/ • TikTok: tiktok.com/@drgabriellelyon • Facebook: http://facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyon • X: http://x.com/drgabriellelyon • Apply to become a patient – https://drgabriellelyon.com/new-patient-inquiry/ • Weekly newsletter – https://institute-for-muscle-centric-medicine.ck.page Chapters: 00:00 Prehab saves lives and money.

| Menopause Is a Muscle Problem, Not Just a Hormone Problem | 24 Sep 2026 | 00:22:06 | |
Menopause is changing your body, but the part nobody talks about isn't hot flashes. It's muscle. Women lose lean mass fastest in perimenopause, the loss probably starts closer to 35, and no pill, patch or injection fixes it. In this solocast, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon explains what estrogen, testosterone and FSH actually do to your metabolism, why a 50-year-old body can still build muscle, and the training and protein protocol to start now.

| ED Predicts Heart Attacks Better Than Chest Pain: The 2 Tests to Ask For | Dr. Tobias Kohler | 22 Sep 2026 | 01:11:56 | |
Your testosterone number matters at every age, but most men never learn what theirs should be. Mayo Clinic urologist Dr. Tobias Kohler explains why ~500 is the target, why 1,000 is already running hot, what 2,000+ does to the heart, and why a randomized trial found lifting without steroids beat steroids without lifting. Plus: the blood test that catches heart risk your cholesterol panel misses. Dr. Kohler returns for his second appearance (his first, on erections, testosterone and muscle mass, is one of the most-watched episodes in the show's history). This time: why men's longevity is roughly 50 years behind women's; the Princeton IV consensus he co-chaired, which treats ED as one of the strongest predictors of a future heart attack and points young men toward a coronary calcium scan; the 0–12 ceramide blood test that changes with your behavior; how to get a testosterone baseline that actually means something; what redlining to 2,000–3,000 does to the heart, the set point and the skin; Peyronie's disease, Viagra vs. Cialis, the pills-to-implant ladder, sexual rehab after prostate surgery, and a patient who got stronger with zero testosterone. About Dr. Tobias Kohler Tobias S. Kohler, MD, MPH, is Professor of Urology at Mayo Clinic, a fellowship-trained andrologist with 25+ years of clinical and surgical experience and 250+ peer-reviewed publications. He co-chaired the Princeton IV Consensus Guidelines on ED and cardiovascular disease, co-founded the EROS penile implant registry, and co-edited Contemporary Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (2nd ed.). 🙌 Thank you to our sponsors: Cozy Earth - Get 20% off at https://bit.ly/3RLZNEv Egg Life - https://bit.ly/4yxBs5l Ladder - https://bit.ly/4ggxfLK 📺 Watch the “Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show” every Tuesday at 9AM EST: YouTube: https://bit.ly/4boCFC3 Spotify: https://bit.ly/4cWTbLG 📱 Connect with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon: Instagram: https://bit.ly/4uk9adc TikTok: https://bit.ly/3OFK3kJ X.com: https://bit.ly/4l3YlaX Facebook: https://bit.ly/3MBrJso LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3N1nrdL Website: https://bit.ly/3NdV2kT Books: https://bit.ly/4r6ugZK Newsletter: https://bit.ly/402QCAj ⏰Chapters 00:00 Men are dying earlier than women the penis is the check-engine light 03:26 Boys stop seeing doctors for 20 years the case for an Office of Men's Health 10:57 Princeton IV: ED predicts heart attacks, calcium scans, and Cialis 12:44 The ceramide blood test your cholesterol panel can't replace 20:37 Cardiac risk calculators, statins, and what your LDL should be 25:38 GLP-1s, fertility, and "what's the risk of doing nothing?" 29:05 Testosterone: the ~500 target, why 1,000 runs hot, what 2,000+ does to the heart 31:44 Check your testosterone at 25 and why steroids won't make you a pro 36:57 Tolerance and the new set point redlined men can't escape 38:13 The 1980s trial: lifting without steroids beat steroids without lifting 42:06 Steroid cocktails, arrhythmias, irreversible side effects, and the sarcopenia trade-off 53:04 Peyronie's disease and Viagra vs. Cialis 57:32 Penile implants: the knee-replacement analogy and the pills-to-surgery ladder 1:02:27 Sexual rehab after prostatectomy and the questions to ask before cancer treatment 1:07:55 Closing: be proactive and the patient who got stronger with zero testosterone Disclaimer: This podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice or create a doctor–patient relationship.

| The Truth About Testosterone in Women | 17 Sep 2026 | 00:25:13 | |
You say "steroids" and picture a baseball scandal, a jacked guy, a bad spray tan. But cortisol is a steroid. Estrogen is a steroid. The cream you put on poison ivy is a steroid. The word covering all of them is also covering testosterone therapy for women, and that collision is quietly costing women muscle and bone they don't have to lose. In this solo episode, prompted by a magazine interview on steroid use in women, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon breaks down what these molecules actually are, what they do inside a cell, and why the line between medicine and misuse has nothing to do with the word "steroid."

| Fathers Lose Testosterone When They Raise Their Kids | Aldrich Chan, Psy.D. | 15 Sep 2026 | 01:46:40 | |
Most people assume becoming a parent is an emotional change, but a measurable part of it is hormonal, and it happens in fathers too. I sat down with Aldrich Chan, Psy.D., to talk about what changes in the brain, why the split we draw between mind and body does not hold up, and what decides whether stress reads as manageable or overwhelming when the hormones are identical either way.

| The Bone You Have At 50 Was Built Before You Turned 18 | 10 Sep 2026 | 00:24:36 | |
You might think bone density is something you build slowly over a lifetime, but nearly all of your peak bone mass is set before age 18, in a four-year window most parents never see coming. In this solo episode I break down what happens to a child's skeleton during that window, what GLP-1 medications do inside a body that's still growing, and the protocol I'd want every parent to follow. Muscle and bone are not what a body has they're what a body was built to become. In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon breaks down the science of bone health in children, adolescent GLP-1 use, and muscle building in kids:
Muscle and bone are not what a body has; they are what a body was built to become, and childhood is the only window that bone accrual and muscle development happen. Understanding pediatric bone health, sarcopenia in children, and the real research on GLP-1s and adolescents is the difference between guessing with your child's skeleton and protecting it on purpose.

| The Testosterone Myth Women Have Been Lied To About │ Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith | 08 Sep 2026 | 01:21:47 | |
You have probably been told that testosterone is a male hormone. Women produce more of it than estrogen, and for many of us it is the first hormone to go, sometimes reading zero five years before menopause while periods are still regular. Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith and I get into what that costs you in muscle and bone, why there are thirty-one approved testosterone products for men and none for women, and what the number on your own lab report is measuring.

| 5 Protein Myths Your Doctor Is Still Repeating In The Exam Room | 03 Sep 2026 | 00:16:07 | |
You probably ate something today with high protein printed across the front of it, and there is a good chance it did almost nothing for your skeletal muscle. There is no meaningful enforcement standard for what the front of a package is allowed to promise, and the research points to a per meal threshold most of these products do not come close to touching. Here is the number, the five myths that have to come off the table first, and how to read any label in about five seconds. Thank you to our sponsors:

| STOP Treating Low Testosterone As Depression: The 160 Reading Navy Doctor Refused | Tim Parlatore | 01 Sep 2026 | 01:45:45 | |

When he asked for a testosterone test his physician asked whether he had erectile dysfunction, and refused to order it when he said no. His level came back at 160; the cutoff we use in this country is 300. I've treated this population for 15 years, and roughly 27% of operators test below that number. Tim Parlatore is the attorney who wrote the Pentagon memo that now puts testosterone on the annual physical, and we get into what it says and why most men never have this hormone checked again after they leave pediatrics.

| Nobody Told You This About Creatine | 27 Aug 2026 | 00:19:37 | |
You might think creatine is a bodybuilder's steroid you have to cycle, load, and fear for your kidneys, but it's a compound your own body already makes from three amino acids, with one of the deepest safety records in all of nutrition science. The problem isn't the creatine; it's the noise around it. In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses:
Muscle is your organ of longevity, the tissue that clears most of the glucose in your bloodstream and defends your metabolism as you age. Creatine won't build it for you, but it raises the ceiling on the work you can do, so the training that protects that muscle pays off more. Understanding what's real and what's fearmongering is the difference between avoiding a proven tool and using it well. Studies & References

| Are You Aging Faster Than You Should? - Dr. Kristen Holmes | 25 Aug 2026 | 01:12:38 | |
Most of what we call "aging" may not be about time at all. It may be a nervous system stuck in stress, quietly draining your sleep, your recovery, and your long-term health. In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Kristen Holmes to discuss:
When you understand that your nervous system sits underneath your sleep, energy, and pace of aging, you stop chasing fragmented fixes and start pulling the few daily levers light, movement, meal timing, consistency that move the needle. Studies & References

| The Gut Yeast That Brews Ethanol From Every Carb You Eat | 20 Aug 2026 | 00:20:41 | |
Blowing four times the legal limit on a breathalyzer usually means one thing, but in 2015, a judge dismissed a DWI because the driver's own gut was fermenting alcohol from an ordinary carb-heavy dinner. It's called auto-brewery syndrome, and the fuel it runs on is the same load your muscle is supposed to be clearing from your blood. In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses:
Whether or not you'll ever face this rare diagnosis, you'll walk away understanding that gut health and muscle health share one supply chain and that defending your muscle is how you starve the problem at its root.

| 5 Hidden Causes of Bone Loss (#4 Is a Shock) - Dr. Douglas Lucas | 28 Jul 2026 | 01:18:39 | |
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:
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. Thank you to our sponsors:

Register here: https://bit.ly/4gCmoNR 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.

| Nobody Tells You What GLP-1s Do to Your Sex Drive | GLS #213 | 25 Jun 2026 | 00:37:44 | |
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.

| What Your ED Is Really Telling You About Your Heart, Blood Sugar & Hormones - Urology Roundtable | 16 Jun 2026 | 01:33:22 | |

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:
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. Thank you to our sponsors:

| Your Doctor Is Watching the Wrong Number. LDL, ApoB & Heart Risk Explained. - Dr. Kevin Maki | 26 May 2026 | 01:25:18 | |
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:
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. Thank you to our sponsors:

| The Cancer Doctors Keep Missing in Young Adults - Dr. Michelle Pearlman | 19 May 2026 | 02:02:37 | |
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:
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.

| Doctors Are Removing Testicles for This | Dr. Susan Macdonald | 05 May 2026 | 01:41:15 | |
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:
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. Thank you to our sponsors:

| Dominique Sachse on Aging Well, HRT, and Building Muscle After 50 | 14 Apr 2026 | 01:21:09 | |
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.

| The Truth about Saturated Fat, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Total Mortality | Dr. Tom Brenna | 07 Apr 2026 | 01:31:33 | |
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. Want ad-free episodes?

| GLP-1 Drugs & Bariatric Surgery Explained by a Top Obesity Researcher | Dr. David Allison | 31 Mar 2026 | 01:35:20 | |
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.

| HIIT vs. Moderate Intensity Exercise - Which Is Better for Your Health? | Dr. Martin Gibala | 17 Mar 2026 | 01:46:30 | |
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? Want ad-free episodes?

Want ad-free episodes? Subscribe to Forever Strong Insider: https://foreverstrong.supercast.com 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.
