Can losing muscle mass be more dangerous than gaining body fat? All of us are on a mission to rid our bodies of excess fat… but how often have you considered the importance of gaining more muscle instead? I invited Dr. Gabrielle Lyon on the podcast today to dive into muscle-centric medicine and to educate you on gaining muscle to support your entire body system. Gaining and maintaining muscle mass can be the key to a healthy aging process. Contracting skeletal muscle can be wildly beneficial for your hormones, immune response, blood sugar levels, and more.

First, there are skeletal muscle defects and there are some really pivotal studies that looked at skeletal muscle as the primary deficit.” “You can leverage contracting skeletal muscle to mitigate significant inflammation and immune responses.” “You literally can contract skeletal muscle, which makes up 40% of the body to release, through exercise, release myokines, release glutamine, move glucose out of the bloodstream. By the way, exercising skeletal muscle does not require insulin. And one bout of exercise will improve insulin sensitivity anywhere from 24 to 48 hours. It's incredible.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order Forever Strong on Dr. Lyon’s Website Order Forever Strong on Amazon The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show Podcast Dr. Gabrielle Lyon’s YouTube Channel Follow Dr. Lyon on socials: Instagram & Facebook Visit nutrisense.io/mariza and use my code MARIZA for $30 off & 1 month of free dietitian support.

I'm on hormones.’ I am so mindful of the things that I do every day.” “If you look at your patients' labs, it didn't matter how active they were, how fit they were, how well they ate– they all ended up with this low-grade diabetes.

How often have you thought about committing weeks at a time to abstain from alcohol… but something came up so you caved earlier than you’d hoped? It’s happened to all of us. For me, even in my early to mid-thirties, I started to notice alcohol was NOT serving me. Drinking alcohol— even just a few glasses of wine at dinner— felt disruptive to my health. I put weight on fast, my brain felt scrambled, and I felt hazy and moody. I knew based on my feelings that my health would benefit so much more without it. Now, fast forward to today— I have abstained from drinking alcohol for more than a year at a time. The latest data is clear– there’s no safe amount of alcohol that your brain and liver can tolerate. Alcohol is a straight-up poison and a neurotoxin, and it significantly disrupts our hormones and metabolism. I mean, are we even surprised that our hormones are messing with how our alcohol hits the system? And the whole concept of the wind-down is NOT doing us any favors— it’s setting us up to lose. That’s why I brought Celeste Yvonne onto the show today to share the dangers of mommy-wine culture, and why it’s hiding an even bigger problem happening in our society. Now 5+ years sober, Yvonne is a better parent than ever before. And she stands by other moms in support of eliminating the pressures of drinking in motherhood. So join us today for this powerful conversation all about how Yvonne faced her challenges head-on and decided to quit drinking for good. If you’ve been feeling rundown, numb, stressed, or you just know something is off, I encourage you to consider giving up drinking for at least 14 days just see how your body shifts without alcohol in the system. And for more support, guidance, and tips on navigating a sober challenge, you won’t want to miss this podcast. So listen now and finally take charge of serving yourself more of what your body really needs… less alcohol! Celeste Yvonne Celeste Yvonne is a writer and a founding host of the Sober Mom Squad.
