Listen Later

What if the obesity epidemic isn't actually the problem we should be solving?

In this groundbreaking Season 4 premiere of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily reunites with her longtime friend Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, muscle-centric medicine pioneer, NY Times bestselling author, and the leading voice bridging conventional and functional medicine, to reveal why building muscle might be the most underrated key to longevity, health, and even manifestation.

Dr. Lyon breaks down her revolutionary approach that's turning traditional health paradigms upside down: instead of focusing on losing weight, we should be building ourselves up. She shares brand new research (hot off the press!) on the surprising link between muscle mass and sexual function, plus why the fat inside your muscles matters more than your overall body fat percentage.

💡 In This Episode, They Cover:

 ✹ Why muscle is the "organ of longevity" and how it impacts everything from brain health to sexual function 

✹ The revolutionary new research on intramuscular fat that's changing how we think about body composition 

✹ Why "comfort is the greatest disease" and how our relationship with stress might be all wrong 

✹ The three stress responses you've never heard about (hint: it's not just fight-or-flight) 

✹ How physical strength builds mental resilience, and why both are essential for manifesting the life you want

This conversation merges cutting-edge science with deeply philosophical wisdom that will forever change how you think about your body and its capabilities.


đŸ”„ Press play to discover why building muscle isn't vanity, it's your responsibility to yourself and the world.
