Forever Strong: A New, Science-Based Strategy for Aging Well by Dr. Gabrielle Lyon

Learn how to reboot your metabolism, build strength, and extend your life with this accessible new guidebook that demonstrates the importance of muscle for health and longevity from the founder of the Institute for Muscle-Centric Medicine. 

After years of treating patients, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon noticed a pattern. Although her patients struggled with a wide range of conditions, they all suffered from the same core problem: they had too little healthy muscle rather than too much fat. Many mistake muscle for being purely about strength or aesthetics, but it actually plays a powerful role in our overall health. As the body's largest endocrine organ, muscle determines everything about the trajectory of our health and ageing.

Despite common misconceptions about fat and obesity as drivers of disease, most conditions actually arise as symptoms of underdeveloped or unhealthy muscle. Everyday habits - from when you eat to the quality of your sleep - can undermine your body's capacity to build and heal muscle tissue.

Did you know that skeletal muscle is the primary engine to extract nutrients, control insulin, regulate cholesterol levels, balance hormones, activate your immune system, and increase survivability from disease?

In these pages, Dr. Lyon offers an easy-to-follow food, fitness, and self-care program anchored in evidence and pioneering research that teaches you how to optimise muscle - no matter your age or health history. Discover how to overcome everything from obesity to auto-immune disorders and prevent diseases such as Alzheimer's, hypertension, and diabetes by following Dr. Lyon's powerful new approach to becoming forever strong.
