She’s got it half right. On the protein area she doesn’t even mention complementary proteins of vegetables and fruits. 89% of Americans don’t eat vegetables and fruits in the minimum amounts. All the nutrients are pot needs especially the minerals are festivals and fruits,….especially over eating animal Protein, which includes Beef, pork, chicken, fish, eggs, and dairy has caused the reason for heart disease, cardiovascular problems. It’s highly toxic to breakdown and causes acidosis without minerals. You can’t neutralize that toxin and the information animal proteins caused minerals, neutralize the acidosis and remove the toxins. The AMA doesn’t want to admit it because they don’t make money on diet, they only make it on drugs and surgery. Wake up Americans. Building muscle is extremely important but everything you put in your mouth that causes inflammation in your arteries. Also causes the overload of toxins, causing the highest increase which is heart disease kills 3000 a day then cancer and diabetes, The top doctors who invented heart bypass surgery and the research Found the cause in diet. Biggest killer in this country is heart disease. Funny it’s not a disease because you can’t catch it. It’s not communicable. Not even getting enough fiber which your probiotic health is what they feed on a lot of your fiber as well as moving it through your body. Removing toxic waste product. Doctors don’t study nutrition and medical school and they haven’t got a clue. Unless they wake up the Cleveland clinic research hospital has compiled all this different research proving it. They’re reversing heart disease, cancer diabetes. One of them is Dr. Essylstyn, also Dr Colin Campbell the Einstein on Biochemistry research and Dr Bernard The top expert in diabetes
@@ulthelth2899 I often use the Cleveland Clinic website to answer any health, medical, or supplement question. I find them more concise and informative than other clinics or healthline. And Essylton has a cookbook out, or maybe it's his son the fireman.
Dr. Lyon is spot on. I'm a 61 year old athlete capable of back squatting 400 pound and dead lifting 425 pounds. I can also run ultra marathons and Spartan races. I am on a high protein diet. Here's the thing I keep tripping over, I see people out there my own age and I refer to them as older people and then reality hits, that those people are often the same age as I am. I think a high protein diet and resistance training is important, but I would also like to add that mindset matters just as much. The aging population is told to slow down, take it easy and a lot of other nonsense people come up with about age. Don't buy into it, it's fatal to longevity. I keep finding UA-cam videos of people in their 70s and 80s being fitter than myself and that inspires me to get even more fit. Not that I'm not fit at the moment, I can crush 20 year old's in workouts. I am more fit now than I was in my 20s and I don't think I am close to having reached my peak yet. The best is yet to come.
You're right. It's a mindset to get out and keep doing things. The body is smart ... use or lose it. Sure as you get older you won't have the exactly the same body as your 20yr old self, but I believe in body age not your actual age.
HUGELY impressive that you can both lift heavy AND run marathons. Majority of older fitness crowd are either long distance cycles or marathoners and they look old and exhausted lol. Or it’s the heavy lifters who absolutely refuse to run or do any cardio.
@@DimitriTheBarbarian the mind is willing but the joints are weak my friend. i appreciate the OPs mindset, but they *might* have a skewed perspective on normal or what is possible. spoilers- none of us get out of life alive.
I was at a cardiologist’s office today. Every male patient I saw there had a big belly and skinny arms. It’s an epidemic among middle aged and older men. This video is spot on.
I have put on a ton of muscle over the past 4 years but I still have to eat under 2000 calories to lose any weight which than makes it impossible to put on more muscle. Frustrating. I eat one bad meal a week and it cancels out everything.
Betsy's story underlines the importance of her message particularly well. Let's spread the word and prioritize our muscle health for a stronger future.
Dr. Gabrielle has been my personal MD for 5+ years. Her work is precise, proven and efficient. With her focus on muscle health and sustenance, dietary protein and ensuring regular bloodwork, she's empowered me to transform my body; I'm in better shape now than i was in my thirties. Under her care, I sailed through menopause and came through that transition healthier than I've ever been. Wonderful to see her voice, study, practice and wisdom here.
She is absolutely beautiful, and SO right! I'm losing my last grandparent to dementia because I could NOT get her to exercise. That was her choice, but now she is dying, in a slow fade.
As someone who has struggled with weight literally my entire life, this talk has really spun me out. I've been through so many different strategies with my doctor over the years and never once has he said "Oh, how about lifting weights?" I feel like I'm about to go down a huge rabbit hole with this new info lol
I’m 71 exercised my whole life ( started at 27) I’ve been lifting weights 🏋️♀️, Pilates , yoga and Catriking , I exercise everyday eat well ! It paid off people can’t believe I’m 71 ! Our bodies are the temple of the holy spirt! Take care of what Gods giving you!
Good for you my friend! Im 65,,, and I'm actually probably under weight. I've been working out since I was in my teens, high School track, contact sports, yoga, you name it. I've had some good genes, but also a lot of hard work, and I intend to keep it up until I drop. It's your quality of life that counts.
Her vision for a future where individuals advocate for their own health resonates deeply. I'd love to see a cultural shift towards managing our own well-being.
I wish I had known about the importance of resistance exercise and building muscle earlier in life. My son started weight training and got me into it too. I wasn't trying to lose weight, just didn't want to be one of those frail old men. I lost weight almost as a side effect without it even being my focus so I agree with what Gabrielle is saying here and that it's time to shift that way of thinking
I was a wrestler in high school and college. I learned to make ridiculous weight losses week after week. Today I no longer have to maintain those weight goals but still keep a fit body. Today, the most important thing to maintaining weight and/or weight loss if I need to is being in shape. Find any exercises you like but do something everyday to get and then stay in shape. You’ll find your that your mind will gravitate to healthier foods. You’ll also find if you eat too much you can burn it off through exercise. If you don’t want to exercise as hard you’ll find that you won’t eat as much.
My weight was creeping up in my 30s and I was struggling to shed the weight I gained (which had made me slightly obese) until I started resistance training, watching my protein intake and eating mostly non-processed foods. I wholeheartedly agree with everything Dr Lyon says.
Starting my fitness journey at 50, and this talk is my wake-up call. Better late than never, right? Time to hit the weights and up that protein intake.
I couldn't agree more. I started lifting weights at age 22 abd have been consistent over 42 years...three x week. Incorporated cardio with elliptical and or swimming..im 68 with 41% muscle mass. I am addicted to this and have endless energy...
After 20 years of being lazy, I just started to go back to lifing. After only three times of doing it, I feel soooo much better. I was worried if I would be able to stick with it, but as you said, I think I'm addicted now too. It's a very good physical feeling. I'm 47 and am reminded about how great feeling 17 years old was. I had just accepted the fact that I was getting old and hurting was a fact of it. I'm so glad that isn't true.

Dr Lyon is totally spot on. I’m a 48 yr old perimenopausal woman. I strength train 5 x weekly and count calories and macros, to make sure my body is getting the energy and elements it needs to function efficiently. At least 150g of protein per day over 6-7 meals/snacks. I strength trained between the ages of 15-25 but never incorporated the nutrition. I’m leaner and more toned now at 48 than I ever was back then. When asked, I tell others about the benefits of both strength training and nutrition. Unfortunately, I find, that as soon as any form of exercise Is mentioned, the majority switch off and don’t want to know. The old saying “you can bring a horse to water” does spring to mind.
@@carolynwilson7736 I incorporate protein into all my meals and snacks. I eat plenty of chicken, fish, eggs, I also eat carbs high in protein, such as Quinoa, and chia seeds, almonds etc, and use protein powder in coffees, breakfast (quinoa portobello, quinoa crumpets). I make protein chocolate mousse using chocolate protein powder, cacao and Greek yogurt. Look at Melissa Neil’s channel on UA-cam. That’s where I learned how to do this. She helps menopausal woman lose weight and get in the best shape of their lives. Hope this helps.
Zero-carb protein powder can be really helpful. If you get an unflavored variety you can add it to almost any food (and is especially good for adding to oatmeal, porridge, shakes, smoothies, etc etc.) Isopure makes a great product.
@@kgalvin7503 thanks for that. I do use the Musashi 100% whey vanilla protein powder in my quinoa porridge and various other meals. I also make chocolate protein bars using the chocolate flavour one.
This is phenomenal. While it is important to understand the metabolism of adipose tissue in obese patients it is also important to understand how the contributions of building muscle can counteract metabolic contributions of excess visceral adiposity. This is well supported by the literature on pubmed and falls within content guidelines. This video doesn’t deserve to be flagged but praised as an appropriate way to combat obesity.
It’s weird how inactive people see ANY activity they do as them not being a sedentary person. Walking 5 minutes doesn’t make you an active person. Moving and being off the couch 8 hours a day does.
true, but the only thing I don't like about it is promoting eating dead animals when there are plenty of sources of quality protein from whole based plant foods.........and are higher quality than dead animal meat you could eat it........that would be the flag to me....people should be eating beans and mushrooms and kale..........and oats.......horses are massive muscular specimen and don't need to eat dead animals to maintain their protein intake........as well as rhinos and elephants and hippos........massive creatures with massive muscular structure and they eat no dead animals or live ones........
@@trevorregay9283 There is no plant in the world that is more nutritious than meat. Humans are designed to eat meat. You can deny it all you want but comparing human physiology to an Elephant or a Rhino is simply silly.
Gabrielle's talk has blown me away with its fresh perspective on health and longevity. Her dedication to shifting our focus from obesity to muscle health is commendable. Let's join Gabrielle's movement for a healthier future.
completely reshaped my outlook on health and aging. The passion for advocating muscle-centric medicine is contagious. Betsy's story hit close to home, emphasizing the significance of healthy muscles in overall well-being. The strategies offered are both sensible and motivating - I'm ready to incorporate resistance exercise and increase my protein intake. Let's embark on this journey together for a stronger future.
3:30 Muscle is the organ of longevity 5:00 Overeating and underexercising 6:00 Resistance exercise and dietary protein 7:00 High quality protein intake 8:30 3 strategies
Much needed ted talk for me. I’m sure the amount of weight I gained during the pandemic is not only the poor diet I had, but also the loss of muscle resulting from a remote desk job+sedentary down time activity after work. Thank you Gabrielle!
Until you change your eating habits (restrict amount and content of food) no amount of exercise will help you loose weight in a long run. Remember this advice, it can save you years.
I can’t begin to describe how Dr. Lyon’s ability to break down the importance of muscle has shifted my perspective. I’m finally lifting weights thanks to her and it changed my life. I love her paradigm.
I can attest to the effectiveness of this approach. It took a little while to adjust to the protein requirements but once I was in the habit of weights 3 times a week my body just craved them and I could see the results in muscle growth and quality. Also - every day stuff just got so much easier. I had way more energy, better mood, more stamina, better sleep. The list goes on. The best thing about it? You don’t have to spend a ton to turn everything around. Just stick with it and track your progress so you can see how far you’ve come.
It’s hard to fathom for me that this is such an unknown and new thing. I’m 56 years old and grew up around Olympic Weightlifting. Hard training and decent protein intake was a constant consideration at our family’s dinner table. I did different sports over my lifetime, but my father constantly competed in Weightlifting, he is 78 now and still competing. This message needs to get out there! But I fear, was with smoking, most people with rationally know but won’t emotionally be able to make the switch.
What’s in your external environment will end up in your internal environment. Not just food. We’re influenced by what we surround ourselves with. Congrats on being surrounded by Olympians
Awesome Gabrielle 👏 The fact that this is flagged as 'outside the content guidelines' adds weight to your argument. This should be mainstream, not controversial.
@@scottg5588 Ah that group. I dont follow them , nor do I care for their opinion. For someone to say eat what can be grown in a lab is crazy. Im a farm to table guy.
The dedication to raising awareness about the importance of muscle health is genuinely inspiring. Betsy's story is a heart-wrenching example of the consequences of neglecting our muscles. I'm committed to embracing resistance exercise and high-quality protein, eager to share this knowledge with others. Let's join the movement for a healthier and stronger future.
Wow! Such a life changing talk for those who will listen Dr Lyon! 👏 I’m a 49yo woman who really started amping up my weight training and protein centric diet for this past year consistently- and o feel amazing! My body comp is better now than when I was in my 20s. My sleep is solid and my zest for life and all things active is through the roof. I will most definitely share this talk with everyone I can think of. Can’t wait to read your book! Forever Strong baby! 💪🔥
This type of content, which I first heard a few years ago, is what finally got through to me. At 51, the clock ticked loudly. It was no longer about being thin, but preventing metabolic diseases and brain health. Then it was easy to exercise and eat real food and ditch sugar and junk food. Diets never worked like a healthy dose of reality. I'm 56 and feel amazing. IF, strength training, walking, real food, no alcohol, regular sleep. I could have chosen to feel this good 25 years ago, but better late than never.
I've heard people say sitting down in modern life all day is worse than cancer, and I don't think this is an exaggeration. The one piece that is missing from this logical and medical viewpoint, is that many people struggle in their mind to make the necessary change. The change needs to start with our mind, but it definitely includes strength, flexibility and endurance in our muscles 💪 👊
You can;t do everything alone and through willpower. Everyone needs positive support. The whole tone of this message was socially oriented and for the good of society as a whole. It should be just something we do as a positive social activity.
Traded my couch for a bench 3 years ago. Best decision of my life. Do a set while you're chilling. What's it take? 30 seconds? How long are we on the couch marathoning a new show? Why are we being so lazy? Out of sheer boredom, you'll work out. There's no need to just melt into the couch. You can still watch your shows WHILE you get healthier. It's worth the money in every way
@@thebatman6201 ABSOLUTELY genius way to think about it. Love this idea, I'm defo adding that to my list. Layering activities is THE way to overcome overwhelm when you have too much to do. Keep going 💪
I wish she could have had 2-3x as much time so she could go into greater depth on the evidence and data backing up her message. I'm currently doing my postdoctoral fellowship studying vascular aging and the mechanisms that contribute to disease progression in postmenopausal women and I would have loved to hear more on this!
Wish this came in with Chinese subtitles so I could share with my parents. Having been telling them to get into resistance training and eat more protein for their health and they just ignored me and told me I should not squat, should not deadlift, should not this and that, because resistance training is dangerous….my mom is diabetic, overweight with a bunch of health problems and my dad’s got the weakest core one can imagine. It just baffles me how they can be OK with all these not wanting to make some changes to feel better.
Some people are too stubborn to learn. It's baffling that they have all these conditions and you're probably the picture of health exactly because you do those "dangerous" things.
This woman completely changed my approach to health and aging. I’ve been following her for 4 years and the improvements in my health and body because I’ve prioritized muscle, will carry me into midlife as the strongest and most prepared which is what every woman should strive for.
As of the summer of 2020, I weighed just over 290. Im at 252 as of this morning. I feel pretty confident that if I hadn't been an active weight lifter in my teens and 20s id have been a lot heavier and also be struggling much more now to get leaner.
Gabrielle Lyon is the best in the world at identifying that muscle is the answer! People lose strength, as a result they lose muscle. From here diseases start to settle in because movements become too complex and can be too stressful. You crushed this message!!!
This is awesome stuff. It’s insane to me that people aren’t educated in this enough to know how incredibly important it is to not only A) maintain a healthy diet , but also: B) build muscle/lift weights C) of course c is cardio All are equally important to you having an all around healthy life. In mind body and whatever else you got going on 😉
@@robertt9342 not paying attention/not stressing the importance. In all honesty, it’s because Not staying healthy is easy. And I’d say they’ve been saying it a lot longer that that 😂 thousands of years maybe ?
I myself know why people aren't educated on it. There are people out there paid to publish articles stating that you don't have to do this to lose weight,...or meat is bad.....etc.
Well said Gabrielle kudos to you! Most ppl don't know that muscle is the most metabolically active tissue in the human body and the more lean muscle mass you have as you age the better your metabolic health and longevity!💪

Thank you, Dr. Lyon, for being a tireless advocate for looking at our health crisis from a different perspective. Instead of simply focusing on obesity, focusing on ones proportional strength, and how that relates to long term quality of life and functionality maybe the thing that must be tackled. As someone who is seeing the ravages of sarcopenia in my mother, I can testify that very few things can diminish ones quality of life more than decreased strength, instability, and impaired mobility.
100% agree there needs to be a change from exercising for aesthetics to exercising for health, and this talk puts all the reasons why in a very straightforward way.
True. But unfortunately exercising for health/prevention doesn't sell. People want to look good. They want to feel good when they are hurting or notice something physically concerning, but as soon as they are "fixed", it's back to look good. That's why there will always be fad diet/exercise for most folks. My mom died 20 years too soon from the ravages of sarcopenia. Her picture is in the dictionary under sedentary.
As a personal trainer, and advocate for mental, and physical health, I 1000% agree with this information! This should be regularly adopted normalized information for every medical practitioner working with overweight patients/clients!
I'm not a personal trainer haha but I agree with this too! I've had lots of doctors advising on losing weight but rarely do they say work on building muscle.
the thing is if your a trainer and you want your client to do strength training BUT...... your client is not interested in doing weights/strength training. Do you just say to find another trainer?
@steve00alt70 as a trainer I would never "give up" on a client just because we had differing ideas of what their needs were. I mean..... their decisions lead them to you, shouldn't they be willing to take your advice so they can pattern interrupt and make a change for the better. Simple response, "I appreciate how you feel about weight training, but I can assure you it has been proven that strength training will benefit you more than anything else at this point, I'm here to help you, I would never lead you astray. My reputation depends on us getting results together!"
1.Resistance training 3 days a week. What is resistance training? What exercises should we focus on? 2. Increase your high quality protein. What is high quality protein? 3. Increase your protein threshold for the first and last meal of the day. What is a protein threshold and how do we increase it? Why does increasing the protein threshold help us?
From ChatGPT-3. 5: Resistance training, also known as strength training, involves exercises that use resistance to build and strengthen muscles. Focus on exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and pull-ups. Consult a fitness professional for a personalized plan based on your goals and fitness level. High-quality protein refers to protein sources that provide a wide range of essential amino acids and nutrients. Examples include lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, and plant-based sources like tofu and quinoa. A protein threshold is the amount of protein you aim to consume in a meal to support your goals, such as muscle growth or satiety. To increase it, include more protein-rich foods in your meals, like lean meats, beans, or Greek yogurt. This helps with muscle repair, metabolism, and feeling full longer, which can aid in weight management.
as one of my countrys pioneers in the field of Natural medicine , i must admit that Ms Gabrielle Lyon is doing a great work in regard to the muscular system of our body,shes smart shes correct,and shes an amazing amazing lady!!!
7:36 this is definitely not the standard of care today, i wonder when and where ppl told her that. Anyhow thats a very good point, healthy muscle mass is as important as cardiovascular health.
I appreciate the strategies provided - resistance exercise, high-quality protein, and adjusting protein intake at specific meals. Simple and practical steps to focus on muscle health.
Dr. Lyon is so awesome. She has an amazing podcast as well! Her whole medical staff is helping me deal with something that many other doctors have not even been able to scratch the surface of, Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. I truly think her and her team will cure me of this awful condition.
Good message. Now it's just getting people to put it into practice. I go to an economical gym that only costs about $10 a month. Well worth it. One of the people I see there that I am most impressed with is a woman in her upper 70's with a small oxygen tank. She hits all the weight machines on a regular basis. I have encouraged many others to do the same. But, a set of adjustable dumbbells and a workout bench will suffice. As you progress, add a set of gymnastic rings and a pullup bar if you can. Use them regularly, allowing for rest days, and the benefits will accrue.
This is something that really needs to be addressed IMO. I think Betsy's experience absolutely speaks to what happens when we don't prioritize muscle health and the way Gabrielle breaks it all down here makes a lot of sense and offers simple, practical advice. Thank you!
Very good talking points. This is some thing I always wondered about obese people. One of the hardest elements to gaining muscle is not gym sessions or supplementation‘s, but bulking. People with obesity have bulking as a positive strength, so I’ve always wondered why people struggling with obesity just don’t go to the gym And lift weights or just stick to the bare minimum: squats, dead lifts, bench press, been over rows, military press, etc. Like I said, they’ve already got the hardest part out of the way. As an ectomorph, I’ll take your appetite any day.
I've been living in a small town in central Texas for the last year. One I've noticed is that many of the men around my âge (65)and even younger are just plain "spent". I often see them trying to make their way in to the grocery store in their motorized chair s. The level of obesity is astounding! And I ask myself how did they get to such a point?
Hello. I have been exercising all of my life. If I didn't exercise my body would break down. Exercise has helped me with mobility. Now that I'm 57 years old I can tell the difference between youth, and why it's important to prepare for an aging physique. It's very important to exercise. It helps with health issues, and physical issues as well.
I have been saying this for years. I am no professional but I see the difference in people that build and maintain muscle vs high cardio exercise. It seems obvious to me and it is great to see this explained here. Great job
Restriction over education? That comes with its own set of issues. Processed foods drive one to eat more which drives up calories. Overweight/obesity is but one of the byproducts of our lifestyles
So true! So many people age so much faster when living a sedentary life. I’ve learned that, it takes a few years of a non-sedentary life to see real results! Working out for a few months of the year is not going to change your statistic, it’s the consistency of doing it.
Don’t eat too much, eat the right things, move around A LOT, and pick up heavy things and move them to a different spot…it’s not a secret, people just don’t want to do it!

This is the single most important message we could get out here to turn around our metabolic crisis. I guess it would be dangerous to share how this could be turned around with dietary protein & resistance training.
I don’t believe you can boil obesity down to one single factor. Muscle mass certainly plays a factor, but so does the type and amount of food we consume, stress, sleep, etc. She greatly overstates her premise IMO.
I agree that building and maintaining muscle is important, but that doesn't answer why young children and young adults are obese. The food supply and our eating habits changed dramatically for the worse in the 80s: Ultraprocessed foods became primary in many people's diets and eating frequency changed from 3 times a day to every waking hour for most people.
I wonder how many people read the disclaimer below the video. Just today I listened to Dr. Gardner, who directly contradicts what she is saying, al least about protein. So I am at least very sceptical of her talk.
@@seanfrank4158 I had this discussion a few years back with a friend and we looked at studies that associated BMI corrected for MMI as a predictor of mortality. All I can find now are studies that contradict this. I'll look further ito this and I will edit my statement, since as it stands, it seems I was wrong. As for protein, I am only basing my statement on the talk from Dr. Gardner. It seems, that with a normal, healthy diet, the risk of not receiving enough protein is basically non-existent. But I'll look into that also.
I AGRÉE 100% with this awesome intelligent doctor(a rare find indeed). I am 47 years young man who has been working out since I was a kid(14). I have been lifting weights 6 days per week for past 21 years(& never less than 4 days per week prior to that). Everything she advocates is spot on accurate but sadly flies into face of BIG FOOD/BIG PHARMA PROPAGANDA🤔
Well, it‘s not that easy. A Lot of people in the higher age are just not capable of resistance training. Others don‘t profit from resistance training and are responding worse. A Lot of people have psychic issues and eating disorders and will not all of a sudden change their body composition from weight training. And what does not come across: we are talking about straining resistance training, not cycling, group fitness, yoga or hiking. Those things are important for vascular health but besides some newby gains will not build muscle. Things are not as easy as Ted talks want you to belief. Obesity is a major problem and you can bet that medicine/pharma did research on basic things like body composition long before that woman started her carreer.

Those things are important for vascular health but besides some newby gains will not build muscle. Things are not as easy as Ted talks want you to belief. Obesity is a major problem and you can bet that medicine/pharma did research on basic things like body composition long before that woman started her carreer.
-Resistance exercise 3/w
-high quality protein
-increase protein threshold in the first and last meal of the day
Thank you!!

She’s got it half right. On the protein area she doesn’t even mention complementary proteins of vegetables and fruits. 89% of Americans don’t eat vegetables and fruits in the minimum amounts. All the nutrients are pot needs especially the minerals are festivals and fruits,….especially over eating animal Protein, which includes Beef, pork, chicken, fish, eggs, and dairy has caused the reason for heart disease, cardiovascular problems. It’s highly toxic to breakdown and causes acidosis without minerals. You can’t neutralize that toxin and the information animal proteins caused minerals, neutralize the acidosis and remove the toxins. The AMA doesn’t want to admit it because they don’t make money on diet, they only make it on drugs and surgery. Wake up Americans. Building muscle is extremely important but everything you put in your mouth that causes inflammation in your arteries. Also causes the overload of toxins, causing the highest increase which is heart disease kills 3000 a day then cancer and diabetes, The top doctors who invented heart bypass surgery and the research Found the cause in diet. Biggest killer in this country is heart disease. Funny it’s not a disease because you can’t catch it. It’s not communicable. Not even getting enough fiber which your probiotic health is what they feed on a lot of your fiber as well as moving it through your body. Removing toxic waste product. Doctors don’t study nutrition and medical school and they haven’t got a clue. Unless they wake up the Cleveland clinic research hospital has compiled all this different research proving it. They’re reversing heart disease, cancer diabetes. One of them is Dr. Essylstyn, also Dr Colin Campbell the Einstein on Biochemistry research and Dr Bernard The top expert in diabetes
@@ulthelth2899 I often use the Cleveland Clinic website to answer any health, medical, or supplement question. I find them more concise and informative than other clinics or healthline. And Essylton has a cookbook out, or maybe it's his son the fireman.
Dr. Lyon is spot on. I'm a 61 year old athlete capable of back squatting 400 pound and dead lifting 425 pounds. I can also run ultra marathons and Spartan races. I am on a high protein diet. Here's the thing I keep tripping over, I see people out there my own age and I refer to them as older people and then reality hits, that those people are often the same age as I am. I think a high protein diet and resistance training is important, but I would also like to add that mindset matters just as much. The aging population is told to slow down, take it easy and a lot of other nonsense people come up with about age. Don't buy into it, it's fatal to longevity. I keep finding UA-cam videos of people in their 70s and 80s being fitter than myself and that inspires me to get even more fit. Not that I'm not fit at the moment, I can crush 20 year old's in workouts. I am more fit now than I was in my 20s and I don't think I am close to having reached my peak yet. The best is yet to come.
Attitude and proper nutrition to support that Attitude... you have it👍
You're right. It's a mindset to get out and keep doing things. The body is smart ... use or lose it. Sure as you get older you won't have the exactly the same body as your 20yr old self, but I believe in body age not your actual age.
HUGELY impressive that you can both lift heavy AND run marathons. Majority of older fitness crowd are either long distance cycles or marathoners and they look old and exhausted lol. Or it’s the heavy lifters who absolutely refuse to run or do any cardio.
That's amazing! I'm a fit 35 year old, and look forward to the long road ahead
@@DimitriTheBarbarian the mind is willing but the joints are weak my friend. i appreciate the OPs mindset, but they *might* have a skewed perspective on normal or what is possible. spoilers- none of us get out of life alive.
I was at a cardiologist’s office today. Every male patient I saw there had a big belly and skinny arms. It’s an epidemic among middle aged and older men. This video is spot on.
Dude this is spot on
I have put on a ton of muscle over the past 4 years but I still have to eat under 2000 calories to lose any weight which than makes it impossible to put on more muscle. Frustrating. I eat one bad meal a week and it cancels out everything.
They drink beers non stop probably too
I have 16.5 inch biceps and a big belly. you can have a lot of muscles and a big belly at the same time
@@didiermontagnier6114 16.5 - 7.5 fat= 9 inch arm. Let's not measure the non dominant arm.
Betsy's story underlines the importance of her message particularly well. Let's spread the word and prioritize our muscle health for a stronger future.
Dr. Gabrielle has been my personal MD for 5+ years. Her work is precise, proven and efficient. With her focus on muscle health and sustenance, dietary protein and ensuring regular bloodwork, she's empowered me to transform my body; I'm in better shape now than i was in my thirties. Under her care, I sailed through menopause and came through that transition healthier than I've ever been. Wonderful to see her voice, study, practice and wisdom here.
Really?
What are you wearing at the moment?
Congratulations!
Awesome! 👏
That's incredible ❤🎉
She is absolutely beautiful, and SO right! I'm losing my last grandparent to dementia because I could NOT get her to exercise. That was her choice, but now she is dying, in a slow fade.
Our ancestors knew the value of physical labor. Glad to see a return to appreciating the importance of muscle for health.
Such a refreshing perspective! Let's prioritize muscle health over aesthetics.
As someone who has struggled with weight literally my entire life, this talk has really spun me out. I've been through so many different strategies with my doctor over the years and never once has he said "Oh, how about lifting weights?" I feel like I'm about to go down a huge rabbit hole with this new info lol
I’m 71 exercised my whole life ( started at 27) I’ve been lifting weights 🏋️♀️, Pilates , yoga and Catriking , I exercise everyday eat well ! It paid off people can’t believe I’m 71 ! Our bodies are the temple of the holy spirt! Take care of what Gods giving you!
Oh wow that is amazing! Very good to hear it's paying off for you.
That's pretty incredible!
Good for you my friend!
Im 65,,, and I'm actually probably under weight. I've been working out since I was in my teens, high School track, contact sports, yoga, you name it. I've had some good genes, but also a lot of hard work, and I intend to keep it up until I drop. It's your quality of life that counts.
Same for me at 68 with 50 years of weight lifting an NOT listening to medical fads as they passed through. Great job!
@@lonniekennedy6130 thank you
Her vision for a future where individuals advocate for their own health resonates deeply. I'd love to see a cultural shift towards managing our own well-being.
I wish I had known about the importance of resistance exercise and building muscle earlier in life. My son started weight training and got me into it too. I wasn't trying to lose weight, just didn't want to be one of those frail old men. I lost weight almost as a side effect without it even being my focus so I agree with what Gabrielle is saying here and that it's time to shift that way of thinking
Me too, I'm only starting to catch on now.
You're a role model for embracing change.
Strength training: a game-changer for aging gracefully. 😁
It's not too late!
heckyeah!@tanapenovich8181
Ive been lifting since 50 im 60 now, not in great shape, but im STRONG.
I was a wrestler in high school and college. I learned to make ridiculous weight losses week after week. Today I no longer have to maintain those weight goals but still keep a fit body. Today, the most important thing to maintaining weight and/or weight loss if I need to is being in shape. Find any exercises you like but do something everyday to get and then stay in shape. You’ll find your that your mind will gravitate to healthier foods. You’ll also find if you eat too much you can burn it off through exercise. If you don’t want to exercise as hard you’ll find that you won’t eat as much.
The dedication to raising awareness about the importance of muscle health is genuinely inspiring.
My weight was creeping up in my 30s and I was struggling to shed the weight I gained (which had made me slightly obese) until I started resistance training, watching my protein intake and eating mostly non-processed foods. I wholeheartedly agree with everything Dr Lyon says.
I think the non-processed foods part of this sentence is really important!
@@calebdonnar Definitely, it's wild how much your body changes when you start eating whole foods
I've been working out 37 years and I endorse this message!
Starting my fitness journey at 50, and this talk is my wake-up call. Better late than never, right? Time to hit the weights and up that protein intake.
I couldn't agree more. I started lifting weights at age 22 abd have been consistent over 42 years...three x week. Incorporated cardio with elliptical and or swimming..im 68 with 41% muscle mass. I am addicted to this and have endless energy...
After 20 years of being lazy, I just started to go back to lifing. After only three times of doing it, I feel soooo much better. I was worried if I would be able to stick with it, but as you said, I think I'm addicted now too. It's a very good physical feeling. I'm 47 and am reminded about how great feeling 17 years old was. I had just accepted the fact that I was getting old and hurting was a fact of it. I'm so glad that isn't true.
41% muscle?? What are you 300lbs?

Dr Lyon is totally spot on. I’m a 48 yr old perimenopausal woman. I strength train 5 x weekly and count calories and macros, to make sure my body is getting the energy and elements it needs to function efficiently. At least 150g of protein per day over 6-7 meals/snacks. I strength trained between the ages of 15-25 but never incorporated the nutrition. I’m leaner and more toned now at 48 than I ever was back then. When asked, I tell others about the benefits of both strength training and nutrition. Unfortunately, I find, that as soon as any form of exercise Is mentioned, the majority switch off and don’t want to know. The old saying “you can bring a horse to water” does spring to mind.
How to do manage to eat that much protein? I’m struggling to eat an adequate amount each day. I track macros and weight train also.
@@carolynwilson7736 I incorporate protein into all my meals and snacks. I eat plenty of chicken, fish, eggs, I also eat carbs high in protein, such as Quinoa, and chia seeds, almonds etc, and use protein powder in coffees, breakfast (quinoa portobello, quinoa crumpets). I make protein chocolate mousse using chocolate protein powder, cacao and Greek yogurt. Look at Melissa Neil’s channel on UA-cam. That’s where I learned how to do this. She helps menopausal woman lose weight and get in the best shape of their lives. Hope this helps.
@@carolynwilson7736I incorporate protein shakes into several foods to keep mine up
Zero-carb protein powder can be really helpful. If you get an unflavored variety you can add it to almost any food (and is especially good for adding to oatmeal, porridge, shakes, smoothies, etc etc.) Isopure makes a great product.
@@kgalvin7503 thanks for that. I do use the Musashi 100% whey vanilla protein powder in my quinoa porridge and various other meals. I also make chocolate protein bars using the chocolate flavour one.
This is phenomenal. While it is important to understand the metabolism of adipose tissue in obese patients it is also important to understand how the contributions of building muscle can counteract metabolic contributions of excess visceral adiposity. This is well supported by the literature on pubmed and falls within content guidelines. This video doesn’t deserve to be flagged but praised as an appropriate way to combat obesity.
The flag makes me think TED is trying to discourage direct medical advice in talks, not disagreeing with this specific message.
When fitness coaches understand the body more than doctors because they work closely with clients rather than once a year meet and prescribe…
It’s weird how inactive people see ANY activity they do as them not being a sedentary person. Walking 5 minutes doesn’t make you an active person. Moving and being off the couch 8 hours a day does.
true, but the only thing I don't like about it is promoting eating dead animals when there are plenty of sources of quality protein from whole based plant foods.........and are higher quality than dead animal meat you could eat it........that would be the flag to me....people should be eating beans and mushrooms and kale..........and oats.......horses are massive muscular specimen and don't need to eat dead animals to maintain their protein intake........as well as rhinos and elephants and hippos........massive creatures with massive muscular structure and they eat no dead animals or live ones........
@@trevorregay9283 There is no plant in the world that is more nutritious than meat. Humans are designed to eat meat. You can deny it all you want but comparing human physiology to an Elephant or a Rhino is simply silly.
Gabrielle's talk has blown me away with its fresh perspective on health and longevity. Her dedication to shifting our focus from obesity to muscle health is commendable. Let's join Gabrielle's movement for a healthier future.
That's Dr Gabrielle. Put some respect on her name boy
completely reshaped my outlook on health and aging. The passion for advocating muscle-centric medicine is contagious. Betsy's story hit close to home, emphasizing the significance of healthy muscles in overall well-being. The strategies offered are both sensible and motivating - I'm ready to incorporate resistance exercise and increase my protein intake. Let's embark on this journey together for a stronger future.
3:30 Muscle is the organ of longevity
5:00 Overeating and underexercising
6:00 Resistance exercise and dietary protein
7:00 High quality protein intake
8:30 3 strategies
Much needed ted talk for me. I’m sure the amount of weight I gained during the pandemic is not only the poor diet I had, but also the loss of muscle resulting from a remote desk job+sedentary down time activity after work. Thank you Gabrielle!
Until you change your eating habits (restrict amount and content of food) no amount of exercise will help you loose weight in a long run. Remember this advice, it can save you years.
@@alexpetrov8871 yes, I am already aware of that :)
This is a RELIEF. I have been focusing on quality protein and resistance based exercises for years now, glad to know I'm doing the right things!!
I can’t begin to describe how Dr. Lyon’s ability to break down the importance of muscle has shifted my perspective. I’m finally lifting weights thanks to her and it changed my life. I love her paradigm.
I can attest to the effectiveness of this approach. It took a little while to adjust to the protein requirements but once I was in the habit of weights 3 times a week my body just craved them and I could see the results in muscle growth and quality. Also - every day stuff just got so much easier. I had way more energy, better mood, more stamina, better sleep. The list goes on. The best thing about it? You don’t have to spend a ton to turn everything around. Just stick with it and track your progress so you can see how far you’ve come.
It’s hard to fathom for me that this is such an unknown and new thing. I’m 56 years old and grew up around Olympic Weightlifting. Hard training and decent protein intake was a constant consideration at our family’s dinner table.
I did different sports over my lifetime, but my father constantly competed in Weightlifting, he is 78 now and still competing.
This message needs to get out there! But I fear, was with smoking, most people with rationally know but won’t emotionally be able to make the switch.
What’s in your external environment will end up in your internal environment. Not just food. We’re influenced by what we surround ourselves with. Congrats on being surrounded by Olympians
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is one of my go-to health experts
& she walks her talk.
Awesome Gabrielle 👏 The fact that this is flagged as 'outside the content guidelines' adds weight to your argument. This should be mainstream, not controversial.
What’s with the flagged content? Seriously

@@scottg5588 Ah that group. I dont follow them , nor do I care for their opinion. For someone to say eat what can be grown in a lab is crazy. Im a farm to table guy.
I remember looking at data 15 yrs ago that clearly showed a strong positive correlation between muscle mass and longevity! Cheers!
The dedication to raising awareness about the importance of muscle health is genuinely inspiring. Betsy's story is a heart-wrenching example of the consequences of neglecting our muscles. I'm committed to embracing resistance exercise and high-quality protein, eager to share this knowledge with others. Let's join the movement for a healthier and stronger future.
It's not just that she neglected her muscles though, I think the yo-yoing of her weight wouldn't have helped things either
Wow! Such a life changing talk for those who will listen Dr Lyon! 👏
I’m a 49yo woman who really started amping up my weight training and protein centric diet for this past year consistently- and o feel amazing! My body comp is better now than when I was in my 20s. My sleep is solid and my zest for life and all things active is through the roof. I will most definitely share this talk with everyone I can think of. Can’t wait to read your book! Forever Strong baby! 💪🔥
Wow I'm 49 and u sure don't look 49 more like 35, 38..
This type of content, which I first heard a few years ago, is what finally got through to me. At 51, the clock ticked loudly. It was no longer about being thin, but preventing metabolic diseases and brain health. Then it was easy to exercise and eat real food and ditch sugar and junk food. Diets never worked like a healthy dose of reality. I'm 56 and feel amazing. IF, strength training, walking, real food, no alcohol, regular sleep. I could have chosen to feel this good 25 years ago, but better late than never.
I've seen so many people focus on weight loss without considering muscle health and it seems like such a harder journey than those who build muscle.
This talk fired me up! Time to take charge of our health journeys. Remember, you're not alone; we're in this together!
I've heard people say sitting down in modern life all day is worse than cancer, and I don't think this is an exaggeration. The one piece that is missing from this logical and medical viewpoint, is that many people struggle in their mind to make the necessary change. The change needs to start with our mind, but it definitely includes strength, flexibility and endurance in our muscles 💪 👊
You can;t do everything alone and through willpower. Everyone needs positive support. The whole tone of this message was socially oriented and for the good of society as a whole. It should be just something we do as a positive social activity.
Traded my couch for a bench 3 years ago. Best decision of my life. Do a set while you're chilling. What's it take? 30 seconds? How long are we on the couch marathoning a new show? Why are we being so lazy? Out of sheer boredom, you'll work out. There's no need to just melt into the couch. You can still watch your shows WHILE you get healthier. It's worth the money in every way
@@thebatman6201 ABSOLUTELY genius way to think about it. Love this idea, I'm defo adding that to my list. Layering activities is THE way to overcome overwhelm when you have too much to do. Keep going 💪
I love your bravery on this point doctor and how correct you are about this, notes are taken.
This is a Game Changer in the way we think about our health!!
What a shift in the conversation, considering how muscle health plays a role in overall well-being, not just physical health or aesthetics
I wish she could have had 2-3x as much time so she could go into greater depth on the evidence and data backing up her message. I'm currently doing my postdoctoral fellowship studying vascular aging and the mechanisms that contribute to disease progression in postmenopausal women and I would have loved to hear more on this!
We’ve also known all of this for +50 years. It’s a discipline/commitment issue. Always has been, always will be.
Resistance exercise, more high-quality protein, and sharing this knowledge with others-count me in! Let's join the fight for muscle health 💪💪
I am so grateful to have come across her talk today!!! Next level!!
Muscle is the key :D
Muscle health matters, and I'm on board for making a positive change!
I'm on board for making muscle health a top concern!
I'mLet's prioritize our muscles and inspire others to do the same.!👍
This talk is a much-needed wake-up call. The midlife muscle crisis highlighted here sheds light on a vital aspect of our health.
Wish this came in with Chinese subtitles so I could share with my parents. Having been telling them to get into resistance training and eat more protein for their health and they just ignored me and told me I should not squat, should not deadlift, should not this and that, because resistance training is dangerous….my mom is diabetic, overweight with a bunch of health problems and my dad’s got the weakest core one can imagine. It just baffles me how they can be OK with all these not wanting to make some changes to feel better.
Some people are too stubborn to learn. It's baffling that they have all these conditions and you're probably the picture of health exactly because you do those "dangerous" things.
Hands down the best 10 minutes I've ever spent on UA-cam!
This woman completely changed my approach to health and aging. I’ve been following her for 4 years and the improvements in my health and body because I’ve prioritized muscle, will carry me into midlife as the strongest and most prepared which is what every woman should strive for.
I totally agree with this but mentioning supporting studies would have given me confidence 8n the message.
As of the summer of 2020, I weighed just over 290. Im at 252 as of this morning. I feel pretty confident that if I hadn't been an active weight lifter in my teens and 20s id have been a lot heavier and also be struggling much more now to get leaner.
I'm not to sure why you are happy about that. If you were 6ft 4in, you'd still be obese. I'm guessing you need to lose at least another 100 pounds.
Respect
this is common knowledge in the lifting/athletic world just not in general population.
Gabrielle Lyon is the best in the world at identifying that muscle is the answer! People lose strength, as a result they lose muscle. From here diseases start to settle in because movements become too complex and can be too stressful. You crushed this message!!!
Three days a week until you want to quit- and then you are going to keep going. I love that. It’s the keeping going I am working on right now.
Stop listening to the trurh start applying trurh. Cos as she said you will be in a dementia ward otherwise. JUST GET GOING. KEEP GOING
This is awesome stuff. It’s insane to me that people aren’t educated in this enough to know how incredibly important it is to not only
A) maintain a healthy diet , but also:
B) build muscle/lift weights
C) of course c is cardio
All are equally important to you having an all around healthy life. In mind body and whatever else you got going on 😉
It’s literally what doctors have been saying for more than 30 years…. Where has anyone been?

In all honesty, it’s because Not staying healthy is easy. And I’d say they’ve been saying it a lot longer that that 😂 thousands of years maybe ?

I myself know why people aren't educated on it. There are people out there paid to publish articles stating that you don't have to do this to lose weight,...or meat is bad.....etc.
I agree with strength training. IM 70 YEARS OLD AND EXERCISE 3 TIMES A WEEK 👍👌💯
Well said Gabrielle kudos to you! Most ppl don't know that muscle is the most metabolically active tissue in the human body and the more lean muscle mass you have as you age the better your metabolic health and longevity!💪
Challenging conventional wisdom about health and aging, revealing a revelation!!! Much needed these days.

An amazing cutting edge thought leader and pioneer! Thank you for inspiring all of us, Dr. Lyons!
Thank you, Dr. Lyon, for being a tireless advocate for looking at our health crisis from a different perspective. Instead of simply focusing on obesity, focusing on ones proportional strength, and how that relates to long term quality of life and functionality maybe the thing that must be tackled. As someone who is seeing the ravages of sarcopenia in my mother, I can testify that very few things can diminish ones quality of life more than decreased strength, instability, and impaired mobility.
100% agree there needs to be a change from exercising for aesthetics to exercising for health, and this talk puts all the reasons why in a very straightforward way.
This is a great way of putting it
True. But unfortunately exercising for health/prevention doesn't sell. People want to look good. They want to feel good when they are hurting or notice something physically concerning, but as soon as they are "fixed", it's back to look good. That's why there will always be fad diet/exercise for most folks. My mom died 20 years too soon from the ravages of sarcopenia. Her picture is in the dictionary under sedentary.
As a personal trainer, and advocate for mental, and physical health, I 1000% agree with this information! This should be regularly adopted normalized information for every medical practitioner working with overweight patients/clients!
I'm not a personal trainer haha but I agree with this too! I've had lots of doctors advising on losing weight but rarely do they say work on building muscle.
the thing is if your a trainer and you want your client to do strength training BUT...... your client is not interested in doing weights/strength training. Do you just say to find another trainer?
@steve00alt70 as a trainer I would never "give up" on a client just because we had differing ideas of what their needs were. I mean..... their decisions lead them to you, shouldn't they be willing to take your advice so they can pattern interrupt and make a change for the better. Simple response, "I appreciate how you feel about weight training, but I can assure you it has been proven that strength training will benefit you more than anything else at this point, I'm here to help you, I would never lead you astray. My reputation depends on us getting results together!"
1.Resistance training 3 days a week. What is resistance training? What exercises should we focus on?
2. Increase your high quality protein. What is high quality protein?
3. Increase your protein threshold for the first and last meal of the day. What is a protein threshold and how do we increase it? Why does increasing the protein threshold help us?
From ChatGPT-3. 5:
Resistance training, also known as strength training, involves exercises that use resistance to build and strengthen muscles. Focus on exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and pull-ups. Consult a fitness professional for a personalized plan based on your goals and fitness level.
High-quality protein refers to protein sources that provide a wide range of essential amino acids and nutrients. Examples include lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, and plant-based sources like tofu and quinoa.
A protein threshold is the amount of protein you aim to consume in a meal to support your goals, such as muscle growth or satiety. To increase it, include more protein-rich foods in your meals, like lean meats, beans, or Greek yogurt. This helps with muscle repair, metabolism, and feeling full longer, which can aid in weight management.
She is on the right side of science
as one of my countrys pioneers in the field of Natural medicine , i must admit that Ms Gabrielle Lyon is doing a great work in regard to the muscular system of our body,shes smart shes correct,and shes an amazing amazing lady!!!
As a life long weight trainer this lady is 100% correct.
7:36 this is definitely not the standard of care today, i wonder when and where ppl told her that. Anyhow thats a very good point, healthy muscle mass is as important as cardiovascular health.
It's everything she says on her podcasts day in and out, she truly wants better longevity for all. Great job!!
She has a channel too, her stuff is so on point.
Love the idea of making muscle health a priority. Let's reshape the conversation around health and aging 💪💪
I appreciate the strategies provided - resistance exercise, high-quality protein, and adjusting protein intake at specific meals. Simple and practical steps to focus on muscle health.
Dr. Lyon is so awesome. She has an amazing podcast as well! Her whole medical staff is helping me deal with something that many other doctors have not even been able to scratch the surface of, Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. I truly think her and her team will cure me of this awful condition.
Why aren't we shouting this from the rooftops when it makes so much sense? So glad to have seen this.
Good message. Now it's just getting people to put it into practice. I go to an economical gym that only costs about $10 a month. Well worth it. One of the people I see there that I am most impressed with is a woman in her upper 70's with a small oxygen tank. She hits all the weight machines on a regular basis. I have encouraged many others to do the same. But, a set of adjustable dumbbells and a workout bench will suffice. As you progress, add a set of gymnastic rings and a pullup bar if you can. Use them regularly, allowing for rest days, and the benefits will accrue.
Gabrielle's talk made me realize how many misconceptions there are about nutrition and muscle health. Time to educate others!
This is something that really needs to be addressed IMO. I think Betsy's experience absolutely speaks to what happens when we don't prioritize muscle health and the way Gabrielle breaks it all down here makes a lot of sense and offers simple, practical advice. Thank you!
THATS MY BESTIE! this message needs to reach the masses!!!!
Gabrielle is a TRUE trailblazer. Fearlessly advocating REAL health in a society so full of misinformation.
Very good talking points. This is some thing I always wondered about obese people. One of the hardest elements to gaining muscle is not gym sessions or supplementation‘s, but bulking. People with obesity have bulking as a positive strength, so I’ve always wondered why people struggling with obesity just don’t go to the gym And lift weights or just stick to the bare minimum: squats, dead lifts, bench press, been over rows, military press, etc. Like I said, they’ve already got the hardest part out of the way. As an ectomorph, I’ll take your appetite any day.
I've been living in a small town in central Texas for the last year. One I've noticed is that many of the men around my âge (65)and even younger are just plain "spent". I often see them trying to make their way in to the grocery store in their motorized chair s. The level of obesity is astounding! And I ask myself how did they get to such a point?
Hello. I have been exercising all of my life. If I didn't exercise my body would break down. Exercise has helped me with mobility. Now that I'm 57 years old I can tell the difference between youth, and why it's important to prepare for an aging physique. It's very important to exercise. It helps with health issues, and physical issues as well.
I have been saying this for years. I am no professional but I see the difference in people that build and maintain muscle vs high cardio exercise. It seems obvious to me and it is great to see this explained here. Great job
do you mean less jogging and more heavy liifting?
Yes@@dorotadeli3181
You should do both
both build muscle?
Ha. What’s funny is a lot of the people you see doing cardio, especially competitive people lift weights, especially in the off-season.
Great info!! I’m 61 and have been training with weights for over 30 years!! I won the over 60 masters bodybuilding contest last month!
Amazing talk!
Recently discovered dr Lyon. Super clear cut delivery and put in a way I understand. Reminds me of a female version of Thomas deleaur
Number 1 should be eliminate all added sugar in every form and eliminate highly processed foods.
Restriction over education? That comes with its own set of issues. Processed foods drive one to eat more which drives up calories. Overweight/obesity is but one of the byproducts of our lifestyles
I'm a Yoga Instructor and when some of my students find out I'm not Vegan... Some of them have left my classes. But this is EXACTLY WHY I do it!!
Dr. Lyon is such a compassionate and impactful medical professional. Amazing 💪🏼 What an important message to share.
Less than One hour 3 days a week heavy lifting at 58 I look better than most college students. I didn’t start till I was 50.
So true! So many people age so much faster when living a sedentary life. I’ve learned that, it takes a few years of a non-sedentary life to see real results! Working out for a few months of the year is not going to change your statistic, it’s the consistency of doing it.
Thank you for addressing this publicly.
Don’t eat too much, eat the right things, move around A LOT, and pick up heavy things and move them to a different spot…it’s not a secret, people just don’t want to do it!
Probably because there are so view examples to find inspiration from these days. It's actually so easy.
@@AngelInfinity depends on where you look
She’s got it half right. On the protein area she doesn’t even mention complementary proteins of vegetables and fruits. 89% of Americans don’t eat vegetables and fruits in the minimum amounts. All the nutrients are body needs including complementary proteins and especially the the minerals are in vegetables and fruits,….especially over eating animal Protein, which includes Beef, pork, chicken, fish, eggs, and dairy has caused the reason for heart disease, cardiovascular problems. It’s highly toxic to breakdown and causes acidosis without minerals. You can’t neutralize that toxin and the information animal proteins caused minerals, neutralize the acidosis and remove the toxins. The AMA doesn’t want to admit it because they don’t make money on diet, they only make it on drugs and surgery. Wake up Americans. Building muscle is extremely important but everything you put in your mouth that causes inflammation in your arteries. Also causes the overload of toxins, causing the highest increase which is heart disease kills 3000 a day then cancer and diabetes, The top doctors who invented heart bypass surgery and the research Found the cause in diet. Biggest killer in this country is heart disease. Funny it’s not a disease because you can’t catch it. It’s not communicable. Not even getting enough fiber which your probiotic health is what they feed on a lot of your fiber as well as moving it through your body. Removing toxic waste product. Doctors don’t study nutrition and medical school and they haven’t got a clue. Unless they wake up the Cleveland clinic research hospital has compiled all this different research proving it. They’re reversing heart disease, cancer diabetes. One of them is Dr. Essylstyn, also Dr Colin Campbell the Einstein on Biochemistry research and Dr Bernard The top expert in diabetes
I couldn’t agree more, resistive training that maintains strong muscle tone is the absolute key to good health.
This is the single most important message we could get out here to turn around our metabolic crisis. I guess it would be dangerous to share how this could be turned around with dietary protein & resistance training.
JJ, I think I read your book if this is the same person. Cool to see you comment on here. Sorry if it’s a mix up :-)
The best Ted talk I have seen!! Thank you
I don’t believe you can boil obesity down to one single factor. Muscle mass certainly plays a factor, but so does the type and amount of food we consume, stress, sleep, etc. She greatly overstates her premise IMO.
I don't know, maybe she just tried to fit what she felt are the most important parts into the time she had
This talk is a breath of fresh air in the realm of health and wellness.
I'm not saying this isn't good advice but I think she's really oversimplifying things
There's a lot more to overcoming obesity
I love Dr. Lyon her podcast and knowledge is the best!
Gabrielle Lyon one of the most awesome woman on the planet! Much Love!
I agree that building and maintaining muscle is important, but that doesn't answer why young children and young adults are obese. The food supply and our eating habits changed dramatically for the worse in the 80s: Ultraprocessed foods became primary in many people's diets and eating frequency changed from 3 times a day to every waking hour for most people.
This is the comment I was looking for. She’s click baity
I wonder how many people read the disclaimer below the video.
Just today I listened to Dr. Gardner, who directly contradicts what she is saying, al least about protein. So I am at least very sceptical of her talk.
@@christoph4977 You're going to have to produce those studies. Actual peer reviewed non-biased studies please. I'll wait....
@@seanfrank4158 I had this discussion a few years back with a friend and we looked at studies that associated BMI corrected for MMI as a predictor of mortality. All I can find now are studies that contradict this. I'll look further ito this and I will edit my statement, since as it stands, it seems I was wrong.
As for protein, I am only basing my statement on the talk from Dr. Gardner. It seems, that with a normal, healthy diet, the risk of not receiving enough protein is basically non-existent. But I'll look into that also.
Midlife in the title
This is going to be shared with all the people in my family.
I AGRÉE 100% with this awesome intelligent doctor(a rare find indeed). I am 47 years young man who has been working out since I was a kid(14). I have been lifting weights 6 days per week for past 21 years(& never less than 4 days per week prior to that). Everything she advocates is spot on accurate but sadly flies into face of BIG FOOD/BIG PHARMA PROPAGANDA🤔
Well, it‘s not that easy. A Lot of people in the higher age are just not capable of resistance training. Others don‘t profit from resistance training and are responding worse. A Lot of people have psychic issues and eating disorders and will not all of a sudden change their body composition from weight training. And what does not come across: we are talking about straining resistance training, not cycling, group fitness, yoga or hiking. Those things are important for vascular health but besides some newby gains will not build muscle. Things are not as easy as Ted talks want you to belief. Obesity is a major problem and you can bet that medicine/pharma did research on basic things like body composition long before that woman started her carreer.
