Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a board-certified family physician with a fellowship in geriatrics and nutritional sciences, brings two decades of expertise to the table. Through her collaboration with mentor Dr. Donald Layman, she has transformed the field of protein metabolism and nutrition.

I’m excited to share some of my favorite Big Ideas so let’s jump straight in!


By highlighting muscle as your target for better health, you can create positive momentum focused on what you have to gain instead of what you need to lose.

Here’s a maxim to keep you motivated: the higher your healthy muscle mass, the greater your protection against all-cause mortality and morbidity.
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon

“Promoting muscle health is the driving force behind the Lyon Protocol—the combination of nutrition and training instructions with operating procedures that will grant you the power to make real, lasting improvements to your body composition and overall health. Muscle-Centric Medicine® and its protein-forward, strength-training-focused lifestyle will change everything.

My patients’ incredible successes demonstrate just how well these lasting, long-term strategies work.

Within one month of adopting my program and shifting your understanding and your approach from fat-focused to muscle-centric, you will likely gain muscle, lose body fat, and have more energy. Once I teach you how to build a protein-forward nutrition plan, to center your training with a focus on healthy muscle tissue, and to establish mindset guidelines for execution and consistency, you will begin to feel better immediately. And then, farther down the road, you will benefit from improved quality of life and increased longevity.

Time and again, I’ve observed how quickly my patients’ energy levels improve, cravings dissolve, and anxieties ease. Most important, after the Lyon Protocol becomes a part of their routine, they almost immediately develop a sense of inner freedom. My practice has shown me that once my patients prioritized skeletal muscle as an organ, they gain a whole new sense of wellness.

My goal is to help you achieve extraordinary health. While maintaining muscle mass demands different strategies for each age group and activity level, your ability to survive and thrive—no matter your age—is directly related to muscle tissue health. Muscle-Centric Medicine®, which recognizes muscle as the organ of longevity, is the future of health. Here’s your chance to change your life and rewrite your future.”

Want to be “Forever Strong”? Then this is the book for you.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is a board-certified family physician and completed a combined research and clinical fellowship in geriatrics and nutritional sciences at Washington University in St. Louis.

Over the course of a two-decade collaboration with her mentor, Donald Layman, PhD, she has helped to bring protein metabolism and nutrition from the bench to the bedside.

She’s also a friend.

We met through Mark Divine who she met by serving the same special forces community we’ve been blessed to serve. Her husband is a former U.S. Navy SEAL and her entire family is Heroic!

As per the intro quote up there, Gabrielle’s perspective is that we need to focus less on *losing* fat and *more* on GAINING MUSCLE. This book, of course, is her how-to manual on how to go about doing that. It’s fantastic. Get a copy here.

As always, I’m excited to share some of my favorite Big Ideas so let’s jump straight in!
