| 10/22/26 | How to Raise Strong Kids: Protein, Strength Training and Building Bone Before Adulthood | Childhood and adolescence provide a one-time biological opportunity: our kids' bodies are primed to grow, build tissue, and develop cognitive capacity. But to do that, they need the right raw materials.In this video, we break down why restricting nutrient-dense foods in growing children puts their development at risk. We explore the critical role of highly bioavailable nutrients like heme iron and vitamin B12, how nutrient status directly impacts academic performance and attention, and why building muscle and metabolic reserve early protects your health decades later.Don't wait until your children are 40 and struggling with their health to teach them what strong looks like.Thank you to our sponsor:Rula: https://www.rula.com/drlyonChapters:00:00 - Introduction: Why We Must Start in Childhood01:14 - Kids Are Not "Little Adults": Growth vs. Maintenance02:25 - Puberty & Protein Metabolism: The Role of Leucine03:50 - How Much Protein Do Kids Actually Need?

| 10/8/26 | Hormones and Attraction: What We Think We Know vs. What the Science Says | Can you tell someone's testosterone or estrogen levels just by looking at their face? Is "jawmaxxing" actually backed by science? In this video, we dive deep into the real science of hormones, physical attraction, and evolutionary biology. We debunk popular myths around high testosterone, facial masculinity, and ovulation preferences, revealing what the research actually shows about human mate selection. Discover why facial structure isn't a hormone panel, how estrogen impacts skin and collagen as women age, and why physical strength accounts for 70% of perceived bodily attractiveness.

| 10/6/26 | Dr. JJ Thomas: Pain Is an Alarm. Why Your Injury Keeps Coming Back and How To Fix It | When you have musculoskeletal pain, the natural instinct is to try and treat it directly.

| 10/1/26 | Is It Too Late to Build Muscle in Menopause? No. Here's What the Studies Show | Will I get too bulky?" No. "Is it too late?" Also no. Here's the context: during the menopause transition, women lose lean mass, gain fat, and their muscle becomes harder to build — the same workout and the same protein meal produce less than they did at 30. For years the only conversation has been hormone therapy, yes or no, as if that were the fix. In Part 2 of her menopause series, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon looks at what the evidence actually says builds muscle back.In this episode:-Postmenopausal women can build muscle and strength at any age (Frontiers in Endocrinology)- Up to 8 lbs of skeletal muscle in 12 weeks (J Nutr Health Aging RCT)- Anabolic resistance: why the same workout and the same meal produce less after menopause- "I was wrong": hormone therapy vs. lifting, and the conversations with Dr. Donald Layman- HRT alone and lean mass: a 0.06 kg difference across 12 trials- Estradiol plus training: bigger quad and fat-free mass gains, maintained at 12 months- Lift first — the practical translation while the HRT evidence evolves- Why protein matters more after menopause, and why 60 g spread thin isn't enough- The RDA (0.8 g/kg) isn't enough to protect bone; ESCEO's 1–1.2 g/kg floor- Doubling protein to 1.6 g/kg: more fat lost, more lean mass kept- The 6-step Forever Strong menopause protocolSponsorDavid Protein — 28 g of protein, 150 calories, zero sugar → davidprotein.com/drlyon, subscribe to save 10% on every orderFind Dr. Gabrielle Lyon at:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/- TikTok: tiktok.com/@drgabriellelyon- Facebook: facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyon- X: x.com/drgabriellelyon- Apply to become a patient – https://drgabriellelyon.com/new-patient-inquiry/- Weekly newsletter – https://institute-for-muscle-centric-medicine.ck.pageChapters:00:00 Will I get too bulky?

| 9/22/26 | ED Predicts Heart Attacks Better Than Chest Pain: The 2 Tests to Ask For | Dr. Tobias Kohler | Your testosterone number matters at every age, but most men never learn what theirs should be. Mayo Clinic urologist Dr. Tobias Kohler explains why ~500 is the target, why 1,000 is already running hot, what 2,000+ does to the heart, and why a randomized trial found lifting without steroids beat steroids without lifting. Plus: the blood test that catches heart risk your cholesterol panel misses.Dr. Kohler returns for his second appearance (his first, on erections, testosterone and muscle mass, is one of the most-watched episodes in the show's history). This time: why men's longevity is roughly 50 years behind women's; the Princeton IV consensus he co-chaired, which treats ED as one of the strongest predictors of a future heart attack and points young men toward a coronary calcium scan; the 0–12 ceramide blood test that changes with your behavior; how to get a testosterone baseline that actually means something; what redlining to 2,000–3,000 does to the heart, the set point and the skin; Peyronie's disease, Viagra vs. Cialis, the pills-to-implant ladder, sexual rehab after prostate surgery, and a patient who got stronger with zero testosterone.About Dr. Tobias KohlerTobias S. Kohler, MD, MPH, is Professor of Urology at Mayo Clinic, a fellowship-trained andrologist with 25+ years of clinical and surgical experience and 250+ peer-reviewed publications. He co-chaired the Princeton IV Consensus Guidelines on ED and cardiovascular disease, co-founded the EROS penile implant registry, and co-edited Contemporary Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (2nd ed.).🙌 Thank you to our sponsors:Cozy Earth - Get 20% off at https://bit.ly/3RLZNEvEgg Life - https://bit.ly/4yxBs5lLadder - https://bit.ly/4ggxfLK📺 Watch the “Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show” every Tuesday at 9AM EST:YouTube: https://bit.ly/4boCFC3Spotify: https://bit.ly/4cWTbLG📱 Connect with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon:Instagram: https://bit.ly/4uk9adcTikTok: https://bit.ly/3OFK3kJX.com: https://bit.ly/4l3YlaXFacebook: https://bit.ly/3MBrJsoLinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3N1nrdLWebsite: https://bit.ly/3NdV2kTBooks: https://bit.ly/4r6ugZKNewsletter: https://bit.ly/402QCAj⏰Chapters00:00 Men are dying earlier than women the penis is the check-engine light03:26 Boys stop seeing doctors for 20 years the case for an Office of Men's Health10:57 Princeton IV: ED predicts heart attacks, calcium scans, and Cialis12:44 The ceramide blood test your cholesterol panel can't replace20:37 Cardiac risk calculators, statins, and what your LDL should be25:38 GLP-1s, fertility, and "what's the risk of doing nothing?"29:05 Testosterone: the ~500 target, why 1,000 runs hot, what 2,000+ does to the heart31:44 Check your testosterone at 25 and why steroids won't make you a pro36:57 Tolerance and the new set point redlined men can't escape38:13 The 1980s trial: lifting without steroids beat steroids without lifting42:06 Steroid cocktails, arrhythmias, irreversible side effects, and the sarcopenia trade-off53:04 Peyronie's disease and Viagra vs. Cialis57:32 Penile implants: the knee-replacement analogy and the pills-to-surgery ladder1:02:27 Sexual rehab after prostatectomy and the questions to ask before cancer treatment1:07:55 Closing: be proactive and the patient who got stronger with zero testosteroneDisclaimer: This podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice or create a doctor–patient relationship.

| 9/17/26 | The Truth About Testosterone in Women | You say "steroids" and picture a baseball scandal, a jacked guy, a bad spray tan. But cortisol is a steroid. Estrogen is a steroid. The cream you put on poison ivy is a steroid. The word covering all of them is also covering testosterone therapy for women, and that collision is quietly costing women muscle and bone they don't have to lose.In this solo episode, prompted by a magazine interview on steroid use in women, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon breaks down what these molecules actually are, what they do inside a cell, and why the line between medicine and misuse has nothing to do with the word "steroid."Study and References:The Effects of Supraphysiologic Doses of Testosterone on Muscle Size and Strength in Normal Men (Bhasin et al., NEJM 1996) - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8637535/Testosterone Enhances Estradiol's Effects on Postmenopausal Bone Density and Sexuality (Davis et al., 1995) - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7616872/Global Consensus Position Statement on the Use of Testosterone Therapy for Women (2019) - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31498...ISSWSH Clinical Practice Guideline for the Use of Systemic Testosterone for HSDD in Women (2021) - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33814...The Global Epidemiology of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Use: A Meta-Analysis (Sagoe et al., 2014) - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24582...What Is the Prevalence of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Use Among Women?

| 9/15/26 | Fathers Lose Testosterone When They Raise Their Kids | Aldrich Chan, Psy.D. | Most people assume becoming a parent is an emotional change, but a measurable part of it is hormonal, and it happens in fathers too. I sat down with Aldrich Chan, Psy.D., to talk about what changes in the brain, why the split we draw between mind and body does not hold up, and what decides whether stress reads as manageable or overwhelming when the hormones are identical either way.Want ad-free episodes?

| 9/10/26 | The Bone You Have At 50 Was Built Before You Turned 18 | You might think bone density is something you build slowly over a lifetime, but nearly all of your peak bone mass is set before age 18, in a four-year window most parents never see coming. In this solo episode I break down what happens to a child's skeleton during that window, what GLP-1 medications do inside a body that's still growing, and the protocol I'd want every parent to follow. Muscle and bone are not what a body has they're what a body was built to become.In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon breaks down the science of bone health in children, adolescent GLP-1 use, and muscle building in kids:Why the four years around age 12 in girls and 14 in boys account for close to 40% of the total bone mineral a person will carry for lifeWhy a hip fracture in a healthy 29-year-old is almost always a story about a childhood building phase that never happened, often tied to a history of restriction like anorexiaWhat semaglutide and other GLP-1 medications do inside a still growing skeleton, and why no long term bone density data exists for adolescents on these drugsWhy a JAMA Network Open trial found the group combining liraglutide with resistance training lost the most weight with bone mineral density statistically unchanged, while the drug alone caused bone lossThe complete protocol for parents: track strength and function over the scale, muscle strengthening and bone loading exercise three days a week each, protein at breakfast, and a screen time floor instead of a ceilingMuscle and bone are not what a body has; they are what a body was built to become, and childhood is the only window that bone accrual and muscle development happen. Understanding pediatric bone health, sarcopenia in children, and the real research on GLP-1s and adolescents is the difference between guessing with your child's skeleton and protecting it on purpose.Study and References: Sarcopenic Obesity in Children - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41995008/Sedentary Behaviors in Today's Youth (AHA) - https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIR.0000000000000591Semaglutide and Body Composition (STEP 1) - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8089287/Peak Bone Mass Position Statement (NOF) - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26856587/Bone Health After Exercise vs GLP-1 Treatment - https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2820308Resistance Training in Kids: An Umbrella Review - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32757164/Thank you to our sponsors:Timeline - up to 20% off when you subscribe and save at https://bit.ly/4x18cm5BodyHealth - Use the code LYON20 to get 20% off your first order https://bit.ly/4wZgg6NBranch Basics - Get 15% off the Premium Starter Kit at https://bit.ly/4i6iOfK with the code DRLYON.Explore More from Dr. Gabrielle LyonPremium Podcast Subscription: Ad-free episodes, key takeaway summaries, exclusive Q&A, and behind-the-scenes content https://foreverstrong.supercast.comWeekly newsletter: Recipes, podcast updates, and practical weekly insights https://drgabriellelyon.com/sign-up/Apply to become a patient: Personalized care with Dr. Lyon’s clinical team https://drgabriellelyon.com/new-patient-inquiry/Connect with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drgabriellelyonX (Twitter): https://x.com/drgabriellelyonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyonChapters00:00 - Introduction00:44 - The 29-Year-Old Who Fractured Her Hip01:20 - Muscle and Bone Are Childhood Assets03:01 - The Question I Keep Getting From Patients03:39 - The 30-Year Lifting Debate Is Over04:23 - Sarcopenic Obesity: More Muscle, Less Strength07:01 - What a Mouse Model Reveals About Muscle Potential08:24 - Screens: What the Data Shows10:00 - Food, Sleep, and the Screen-Weight Loop12:38 - GLP-1s in Teens: The STEP TEENS Trial13:52 - The Muscle Framing Mistake Everyone Makes16:49 - The Four-Year Window Bone Gets Built18:02 - The Trial That Proves Exercise Protects Bone20:29 - Prescribing Into an Unstudied Window20:46 - Why Lifting Doesn't Stunt Growth21:49 - Kids Get Stronger Without Building Muscle22:29 - The Protocol: What to Do Starting TodayIf you found this episode valuable, share it with someone who would benefit from it.Disclaimers: This episode includes paid sponsorships.The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Podcast and YouTube are for general information purposes only and do not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

It's usually the hips — and the fix often starts on your living room floor.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Kelly Starrett and Juliet Starrett, JD to discuss:Why 100% of the people who fly across the country to get a consult for stubborn low back pain are missing hip extension, and how to test yours with the couch stretchThe "injury vs. incident" framework that tells you when pain needs a doctor and when you can manage it yourselfHow 20–30 minutes of floor sitting each evening restores the range of motion you thought you'd lost to ageWhy mobility is the missing third leg of the longevity triangle that roughly 90% of people skipBy the end, you'll have a simple, no-equipment way to move without pain and keep the strength and mobility that let you do what you love as you age.Want ad-free episodes?

| 7/30/26 | DON'T Inject What You Can't Verify: Compounded Peptide Safety Explained | Over 500 published papers stand behind one of the internet's most popular peptides, but fewer than 30 of the humans studied are in them. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon separates the molecule from the marketplace so you can tell real evidence from good marketing.In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses:Why BPC-157's "mountain of evidence" collapses to a 99.7% animal-to-human ratio - 544 papers, but fewer than 30 humans across three uncontrolled pilot trialsHow to place any peptide on the spectrum from FDA-approved (GLP-1s like semaglutide) to investigational to compounded, and why "GLP-1s work, so peptides work" is a trapWhat the FDA quietly did in April 2026, and why removing a dozen peptides from its safety-concern list was driven by policy pressure, not new safety dataThe 4 questions to run on any peptide before you inject level of evidence, what the study measured, where it's sourced from, and whether it's banned in tested sportWhy the "boring work", resistance training, protein-anchored nutrition, and real recovery beat almost anything in a vialIf something is going into your body through a needle, the standard has to be higher than three words on a label that say "research use only."
