About This Book
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * USA TODAY BESTSELLER * WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER 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.

Life Changing
This book is the best kept secret to jump start your life and stay on a healthy track. If you're a donut eating, Fritos crunching maniac or just out of shape and want to see your kids or grandkids grow up and need to change your life for the better, then it's a must read!
Needed to understand how to age well!
This book gave real insights into how to age well and not worry that you can. Also, we need to keep up strength training at any age. It inspired me to Join a gym!
Solid nutritional information
Lots of solid information on nutritional needs for building muscle and strength with high protein diet and strength training and aerobic exercise. I have added more protein to my diet and that helped fatigue. I’d rather get my protein from non-animal sources so the recipes weren’t helpful. As a 60+ female with arthritis the workouts weren’t useful either.
Very informative
Love the info in the book
Really enjoyed; great read
I've not yet finished this book; about 1/2 way through. So far really enjoying it; makes total sense. I'm very happy with my purchase, thanks! :)
Important information for aging well
I think the main thing for me is the emphasis on the importance of getting enough protein in my diet. I haven't been particularly diligent in that regard. I don't think I will ever eat enough protein to match the recommended quantities; however, I have been trying to prioritize protein more since reading this book. It's well written and researched and offers compelling examples of clients helped using these protocols.
Good healthy information
Information about taking care of your health and body. Good eating habits
Satiated! A Must Read!
"Strategic integration of carbohydrates." Yes! I thoroughly enjoyed this well written, educational book in bite sized pieces. I was determined to really treasure and savor each part. I struggled with Reactive Hypoglycemia in my late teens to early adulthood, and although wheat was a key factor, the advice I was given was to snack often, eat more often and nobody ever mentioned healthy fats, decreasing sugar and avoiding seed oils. Nobody mentioned what I DESERVED to know. Her you go! This book is a gift you may have always needed. We all want answers, but at the same time, we NEED to self-advocate to ask the right questions at those practitioner appointments. It then becomes a TEAM effort to help you improve your life journey. I approached this book much like a healthy well-balanced meal, with great memorable and spicy flavor. This book did not disappoint, contained many "courses', and after the last sentence I felt totally satiated! Dr. Lyon's approach is Science based but with a twist of personal patient stories, their journeys, lessons and triumphs. The resources, information and tips are suitable and applicable for all ages and stages. I will be sharing this book with younger family. As a woman in menopause (just arrived), I felt seen and heard in the narratives. The "Mindset Reset" speaks to the reader as a reminder that the driver is YOU, and you get to choose a more healthy approach to nutrition and general wellness. Dr. Lyon empowers us with an "I can" attitude and pairs that with the steps to arrive at our goals, no matter what they are. I personally say #yourpaceisnotarace and that is reminding me that what I need may differ from the needs of another, and the timing and pace may differ. Slow is better than stop. My exercise routine is a bit tapered due to joint hypermobility, but I have learned how to compensate. The section on training was quite helpful. I know that eating well-balanced meals and increasing my protein makes me feel stronger. I AM stronger! I've learned through reading this book that I am classified as a "Chameleon" and thus can adapt how and where I exercise and with whom. Give that section some thought. The point is, it does not matter how much, and we are all unique, so just do it! We GET to set higher standards than we knew before. We are capable and better informed NOW. My husband and I are also looking forward to enjoying the delicious meal plans and recipes included here as well. A lovely bonus!
