Learn how to reboot your metabolism, build strength, and extend your life with this accessible new guidebook that demonstrates the importance of muscle for health and longevity from the founder of the Institute for Muscle-Centric Medicine®.

After years of watching patients cycle through her practice, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon noticed a pattern. While her patients struggled with a wide range of conditions, they all suffered from the same core problem: they had too little muscle rather than too much fat.

When we think about muscle, we tend to think about strength or aesthetics, but in reality, muscle accounts for so much more than that. As the body’s largest endocrine organ, muscle actually determines everything about the trajectory of health and aging. Many of the conditions Dr. Lyon’s patients were experiencing were actually symptoms of underdeveloped or unhealthy muscle.

Now, Dr. Lyon offers an easy-to-follow food, fitness, and self-care program anchored in evidence and pioneering research that teaches you how to optimize muscle—no matter your age or health background. Discover how to overcome everything from obesity to autoimmune disorders and avoid diseases like Alzheimer’s, hypertension, and diabetes by following Dr. Lyon’s powerful new approach to becoming forever strong.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Must-Read for Fitness Trainers & Athletes

Loved the breakdown of information. Easy to understand and very helpful accompanying PDF. Read this in 2 days and will keep going back to reference for myself and training clients! *Heard about this author/book listening to the MINDPUMP podcast!

Usable

This book is wonderful and full of advice with clear steps on how to apply to your daily life. Dr Lyon hits the nail on a head with addressing habits and mental framework as the most important ingredient of success. I’ve been following Dr Lyon on insta for a while but this book accented how much passion she puts in her work to help people achieve better life and health. I love it!

Great resource

excellent thanks Dr Lyon for helping develop a better health. I truly enjoyed it

Extra motivation

While I’ve strength trained for many years, some days I just don’t want to. So I don’t. The mindset is so important. This book helps with my motivation by helping to shift my mindset and remember why strength training is so important as I go into my last third of life. The author spends a good deal of time on mindset. Solid strength training exercises are offered as well as info on the other crucial components of good health, such as nutrition, protein especially.

Well-explained, actionable, evidence-based health plan

Muscle-centric health is where the science is pointing us in medicine, despite how siloed different fields can sometimes feel. Dr. Lyon does a great job of explaining and summarizing the science and delivering actionable protocols to make applying the science to our own health a lot less daunting.

Top Notch Knowledge

I am an advanced trainer and nutritionist, and I got so much value out of this book. Dr. Lyon is a straight shooter with ample science and practical experience to back up every point she’s making.

I’m very fit and healthy like Dr. Lyon and what she’s teaching in this book is how I live and similar to how I coach.

I’m baffled by the reviews of people complaining about the reading speed/style- hello, just put it on a faster speed. That’s how audible works… the reader reads slow and you choose your speed. The fact that people couldn’t figure that out on their own and chose not to reap the insane value of what she’s teaching bc they were put out by “how she read it” are just finding yet another excuse not to change their lives. Don’t be one of those people.

If you actually apply what Dr. Lyon is teaching here, it will change your life infinitely for the better.

I’m also a mindset coach and her mindset lessons woven throughout the book are absolute gold.

Up to you if you’re gonna have enough humility to apply or just find another reason you “can’t do it.”

Fantastic, excellent read.

Great information but not very engaging.

Not the best format for an audio book, but if you aren’t going to read a printed very, get this. Does a good job of emphasizing the importance of muscle for long-term health.

A lot of information, but very technical 

The other is extremely knowledgeable and communicates the how, and why behind the science, however, it is very difficult to stay focused, given all of the technical aspects of the book. Would like to see more functional and action oriented information. 

Fact based

Great insight with a ton of stories to back up the factual evidence. This book is strong and precise with findings and theories that offer many ways to implement them….excellent read!!!

a lot of good information provided.

I liked it all. There were good examples. she spoke plainly and clearly so i think anyone can understand.
