Mark Bell on Fat vs. Carbs, What’s Really Making You Fat?

About this episode

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and Mark Bell discuss the misconceptions around strength training, nutrition, and the importance of movement at all ages.

Most people are chasing the wrong version of strength and paying for it with pain, poor movement, and a body that breaks down faster than it should. In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Mark Bell, elite powerlifter, entrepreneur, and founder of Slingshot, to discuss: Why strength training is essential at every age but most people are defining "strength" too narrowly How modern life has created an "exercise deficiency," and why artificial exercise is the only fix The truth about fat, protein, and the biggest nutrition mistakes holding people back from lasting weight loss The emerging peptide and drug landscape, and what it means for the future of health optimization Why forcing your kids to move isn't cruelty, it's one of the most protective things you can do as a parent Whether you're 25 or 75, this episode will challenge how you think about movement, muscle, and what it actually means to be strong physically and mentally.
