The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show · GLP-1 Drugs & Bariatric Surgery Explained by a Top Obesity Researcher | Dr. David Allison · 31 Mar 2026 podcast

I caught myself in one of these very recently where, you know, listening to many podcasters who talk about growing muscle and reading some things, but reading at the mountaintops, not going back to every original paper, but reading sort of summaries, listening to summaries, I would say things like, well, the most important thing is how much resistance training you do in the volume.

Um, and then the second, you know, might be how much calories and a third might be how much protein and, and then somewhere down below that is, you know, very important, but probably a little smaller sleep.

And I stopped myself a few days ago and I said, what do you really know about sleep?

How much sleep is needed?

How big is the effect?

So I do a little search.

There's almost no randomized controlled trials.

randomly assigning people to different amounts or types of sleep while we're undergoing resistance training and looking at the causal effects on skeletal muscle strength, quality, or hypertrophy.

That doesn't mean sleep's not important.

It just means, oh, I guess I don't know.

Yeah.

The most obvious ones are the advances we've had in medical treatments in the last 20 years.

And so it's the rise of bariatric surgery and the refinement of it and the recognition of its effects.

Well, and then subsequently, the strong pharmaceuticals, which I think many people, including me, feel will likely won't eliminate bariatric surgery, but will likely radically mitigate its use.

because what we've got is a treatment that's, or treatments that at least at present, even if they're not quite as powerful as bariatric surgery, they're getting close and you can turn them off, right?

You can't say tomorrow, you know, I don't, after all, I don't think I like this bariatric surgery so much, switch it off.

doesn't work that way.

Right.

But you could say, I don't like taking this drug.

I'm gonna stop tomorrow.
