Max Lugavere

Welcome back to the show.

I'm your host, Max Lugavere, and this is The Genius Life, where we get a little smarter, a little stronger, and hopefully harder to break with every episode.

My guest today is a returning favorite and a dear friend, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, the physician leading the muscle-centric medicine movement.

And she's back with a brand new book, The Forever Strong Playbook.

We kick things off with some fake news about my supposedly carb-free kitchen, which quickly turns into a much more important conversation.

Carbs aren't the enemy, but the modern food environment in many ways is.

We talk about protein and carbohydrates through the lens of muscle, metabolism, and activity, not dogma, and why the real question isn't carbs per day necessarily, but carbs per meal, and whether your muscles are actually equipped to handle them.

Later in the episode, we connect muscle health to sexual health, including new data linking low muscle mass to erectile dysfunction, making this one of the most unexpectedly eye-opening conversations we've had.

If you care about aging well, staying metabolically healthy, and building a body that actually works for you, you are gonna love this episode.

Listen all the way through.

You're not gonna wanna miss a beat.

And as always, don't forget to share this episode with friends and loved ones who might benefit.

And now with all that out of the way, here's episode 546

Let's rock.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, welcome back to the show.

My dear friend, how are you doing?

There's no, that's, first of all, that's not true.

Well, your boy likes flavanols and anthocyanins.

But no, I get it.
