@George Ramos I finally found a wonderful Dr who respects my decision to avoid pharmaceuticals if possible. And she will often say " I don't know that"... but then will ring later to clarify stuff. This is highly unusual for UK in my experience. She is marvellous. Truly.
@@sloane290 Knowledge is knowledge, the studies that advance our collective understanding of human physiology are there for everyone to read if they want to. There are doctors out there who specialise, such as in gastroenterology (focus on the intestines) who know little about the human brain (neurology), or the hormone system (endocrinology), or nutrition etc, so not every doctor knows everything about the human body. The ones who read the studies are the ones who want to learn and understand how the body works, so I would say all of them are worthy of respect. The ones who take their paycheque and do nothing but prescribe pills for Big Pharma are the ones you should be deriding.
I was lifting weights yesterday and this skinny guy with braces on his legs was lifting more than any of the bigger muscle guys. He was really skinny and looked like he had a disability. The amount of weight he was lifting was unbelievable. If I see him next week I'm going to talk to him.
@Pink Salt I didn't see him again and now the rec centers are still closed in Denver. It was so weird. He really was this scrawny, young man, limped, and had braces on his legs. He was pushing like 800 pounds with his scrawny legs.
Muscle is an amino acid reservoir that is a Profound Statement by the Doctor. When you are ill in bed that's all you have. it's amazing in hospitals the food is high carb.
I admire how articulate and knowledgeable she is but I also want to point out her confidence, how comfortable she is with herself and her eye contact is on point! Great interview.
Resistance training and muscle mass are the best adaptations to a more sedentary modern environment - burn more calories at rest and be insulin sensitive
Specialist and Dcotors that are confident in saying: "I'm not sure", or "I don't know" are what the world needs to progress. You can never know everything in the present, and it's important for anyone who wants to progress in, or master anything to accept and embrace that. Life is constant discovery.
At about the 30 minute mark she says lean muscle determines longevity- wow- that should be clipped for sharing. That is a big deal for the over 60 crowd
Yup, she's not the only one mentioning it. Other LCHF professionals/doctors like Dr. Stuart Phillips and Dr. Ted Naiman also mention this. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-15jtzjv8uOM.html It's not directly relevant, but sarcopenia is something that you want to avoid.
Thank you Mike for doing a second interview with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon. I found the first interview that you did with her one of the most informative interviews you have done. So much has been made about keto and fasting and the health benefits of these two dietary strategies, but seldom is the topic of muscle preservation covered within the context of aging well. If the concept of muscle is broached at all, it is usually within the context of sports performance, aesthetic enhancement, or merely as a means to achieve a higher resting metabolism. The conversation about muscle retention and building must be broadened to include its effects on aging well and having a good quality of life. I am thankful that Dr. Lyon and you are willing to focus on this much neglected aspect of muscular development.
If I went to a conventional dr and said that I want to have the minimal amount of body fat that would still retain optimal hormonal function and that I want to eat a controlled diet that will promote the highest possible muscle mass and strength, they would diagnose me with an "eating disorder " and regard any exercise or diet control as a symptom. It was so validating to hear this doctor speak the truth about females and body fat levels, muscle mass and the rational purpose of eating. Also, she is correct about aging. Frailty is NOT inevitable!
A part of taking full responsibility for my well being is lifting heavy weights on a weekly basis in my own home gym and utilizing nature too. I'm just shy of 60 and am so much stronger than most who are half my age. And so many my age are falling apart, sadly.
Fascinating. I am a woman, I have had a very easy time putting on muscle, and I do have pcos, and belly fat. Super low carb (20 grams of carbohydrates per day) caused me to gain body fat weight. My body makes too much androgens. IF was the only thing that really helped me. But, with that I still had to eat enough carbs (60 grams) to lose body fat. Everyone is different. My take away from my experience has been that you adapt the protocol to the individual, not the other way around. I am very interested in Dr. Gabrielle’s information. As soon as I hit 40, my PT told me that everyone should be doing resistance training because low muscle mass is associated with morbidity. My cholesterol was high until my large birth defect tumor was surgically removed, then my cholesterol came way down, 60 points.
I'm 66. I'm on a keto diet and work out for function. Thanks to IF and keto, I'm down from 207 to 167 in just under a year. My body fat has declined from 23 to 13%. As far as I've found, my lean muscle mass is right when I'm able to do every reasonable strength and endurance activity I set myself to. It changes as my condition improves, but, even as a dynamic target, I think it makes more sense than some formula based on height and frame. Just MHO
@@lohengrinknight I mostly just had a big pot belly and love handles that disappeared and, yeah, I don't have any stretch marks, or any looseness, so it must have reabsorbed gradually. Fasting will do that. I wasn't an extreme case, YMMV, but I've seen obese people shrink and their skin shrink with them. But it does take time if you have a lot to lose.
8 month ago I began following Dr Lyon's advice on protein quantities from her first interview with you (the one on muscle growth) and I've been gaining muscle since then, even though I could not do any sport for the past six month because of my health. I'm about to go back to sport (was just cleared last week) and very impatient to see the result it will bring to my already fitter-than-ever body !! I'll listen to this interview carefully. Thank you Mike and thank you Dr Lyon !
@R Cruz I don't know or care about how many "muscle fibers" I have. I know I had a weak body that could not take on muscle no matter how much exercise I did, I was'nt just flabby my arms were like noodles. Now I have visible abs and visible biceps. And they are strong. And I barely do any exercise. But when I do it doesn't hurt anymore!!
These videos with Gabrielle have helped tremendously with pushing the point of MORE protein (and weight lifting) for us all (namely my clients) as we age....instead of the American standard of eat less protein and weight lifting light weights....after menopause this has helped me so much as with Keto I reduced my protein too much and suffered sarcopenia....now with a more carnivore diet I’ve tightened back up and can be the example to pass along, with these Gabrielle videos ! Thank you Mike
I am Chairman of Nifty60s group here in Wales 🏴 UK doing resistance training (Ave age of group -74) 2x1hr sessions per week, Ave class 30 senior citizens. We are focussed on strength, mobility, flexibility, mental and well- being to date. Results are great with several type2 diabetes reversed and reduced bp. I’m planning of getting people in to speak about nutrition, protein etc going forward. Loving Dr Lyon’s podcasts, so educational. Jim Lee MBE 74 years young
Food affects every process in your body, your thoughts, moods too. Be careful what you put in it. Stay away from carbs, they are cheap and nasty source of energy and last you very shortly.Better move to keto diet combined with IF and you will be running on ketones, the preferred fuel for brain and heart, and you will have steady energy levels trough out the day, no sugar crushes and no hunger and no negative effects of consuming it. Fasting is immensly powerful tool for body regeneration.Doing it you give your body chance to normalise its hormone balance, burn fat, keep muscle mass, improve mood, digestion etc. The benefits are endless.
Carbs are essential if you're training -- and if you watched the video, you should know it's necessary for a good body composition and health. So high carb is fine, as long as it has little to no refined sugar in it. Refined sugar has fructose, that gets converted into visceral fat, and that creates insulin and leptin resistance. It's that simple.
@MrMcGoy Maybe if you're on test, tren, anavar cycle or other PEDs - it doesn't matter what you eat. If you're natural - you definitely need carbs so u can perform at ur best
Do your exercises daily to keep muscles toned and always do them prior to eating. Continue intermittent fasting on a daily basis...like 16/8 or 18/6. Ideal for reducing insulin resistance.
@ Cindy - 36-72 hour fast, probably not at all healthy for older, especially postmenopausal female - unless you are training hard during that period, your muscle fiber will receive virtually no mTOR signaling. And IF you are training during a long fast, you then would need a protein meal within an hour or 2, for recovery. Intermittent fasting is great - much easier and definitely not as stressful on the body as a 3-5 day fast. I'm 74 - just discovered Dr. Lyon - after 5 yrs ago going vegan, then vegetarian, then finally going to pescatarian...gradually 8vee past 5 yrs. . But up to a month ago when I discovered Dr.Lyon, I paid virtually no attention to amount of protein in my diet (much less, good quality protein)! I Thought I was doing the 'right thing', being basically vegetarian, but after watching just ONE Dr. L interview (@ Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu), and I was hooked! What she had to say really resonated with how I was feeling (e.g., not at all healthy), and how I was looking (basically, what is termed 'skinny fat' :/ ) After watching that one interview I did a complete 180 on my thinking about animal protein! So lucky to have caught that interview, and patting myself on the back now for my open-mindedness and NOT giving in to my bias toward vegenanism! I feel so much better/stronger now- and note this - especially for older women going plant-based, (so popular now for 'losing weight') say they lose 20, 30 pounds following plant-based diet for 6 mos., or whatever, (mainly bc they are reducing the simple carbs in their diet that put all that their weight on - what they don't realize is they have also lost a lot of their muscle weight - sure they look thin now - but NOT healthy necessarily bc the lost weight is also muscle mass...and down the road, if they stick with 'plant-based', will be especially deleterious to their aging health. I follow Dr. Lyon now - am on her newsletter mailing list. I still have a sharp learning curve as far as how to optimize my muscle health with high quality protein on a consistent basis, but just with the basic changes I have made in my protein consumption, I feel so much better. She offers a very low cost course on how to improve your diet with high quality protein (a 12 wk online course, that includes her recently published protein-based cookbook, for $75 - that is quite low cost as far as these types of online 'health' courses go. I would highly recommend- none of it is 'fluff', she's a no b.s. teacher and will tell you everything you need to know straight up. Get her course (and a reliable kitchen scale, LOL) and you're on your way to NOT falling victim to sarcopenia as you age ;))
I wish I had a doctor like her. I mean she reads literature, tries new practices. My doctor just gives prescriptions like nothing smh. I try to bring up new studies and it is just dismissed
Most physicians work for big corporation, which in turn, are influenced by big pharma. In other words, priscriptions pay the bills. The ones that have their own practice have alternative methods. Most doctors will not and are unable to go outside of rules and regulations, regardless of what the studies suggest.
@@johnnyb620 maybe that, but I noticed a lot of doctors only go with things that work and aren't quick to jump to new things. Almost like engineers just using old systems that work instead of new modern techniques.
If they were actually "systems that work" I'd have no problem with that. The problem is that they continue, doggedly, to use old systems that DON'T work, over and over, like statins for slightly elevated LDL, insulin for diabetes, surgery for inflammation, proton-pump-inhibitors & antacids for acid reflux or ulcers, and, of course, "plant-based nutrition" recommendations for everything diet-related. They have a "Standard of Care" (SOC) to follow for everything that walks into the office, a diagnostic code and a small set of procedure codes associated with it which tell them what they have to prescribe to treat the diagnosed condition. Most doctors may mean well, but they will be penalized, written up or even fired, if they deviate from those official procedures. In fact, the Kennedy-Kastenbaum bill instituted criminal penalties for doctors violating SOC. That could mean NOT prescribing a drug according to HIPPA rules. I don't know that it's been used that way, but it can scare the hell out of a doctor who considers giving a recommendation NOT sanctioned by SOC. Doctors who think for themselves and "try new things" may find themselves in serious legal trouble if someone wants to make an issue of it. Also, most doctors spend virtually NO time at all studying nutrition in medical school. Only some basics are taught and they're generally based on the USDA Guidelines, which have been completely controlled by Big Agriculture, Big Pharma, and the plant-based lobby. For references, see Nina Teicholz's work, especially her Nutrition Coalition website, where she lays out the issue of conflict of interest and biased recommendations (www.nutritioncoalition.us/staff) Also, since Kennedy-Kastenbaum, Doctors must comply with HIPAA regulations. These actually carry criminal penalties, so docs can face criminal charges for not following the recommended procedures. I don't know how often that's enforced, but I think most doctors, since then, are terrified of being fined, or fired, or even losing their medical license for not following SOC. That gives me even more respect for people like Gabrielle, Ken Berry, Paul Saladino, et al, who do what they think is best for the patient, even if non-official-SOC.
What a calming voice for delivering meaningful instructions. Such a lady! Mike, thank You for the hemp oil recommendation. We do not have it here in Meditteranean or not a trustful source. My friend is currently in the US, I will reach out to her for this product! Surround yourself with people with a similar mindset to you, create an ambiance...- I lack that in my town/country, the reason why I am here :) Thank You for sharing impactful content!
I am working on this. Having sleep problems though. I think it is cool that she has a mentor. There is sone great things to look at here. I want to live my life as full as I can. I HATE SQUATS! But I will do some today.
I listened all through this to the end and I decided it was just two people talking without giving out any comprehensible information to people like me. They were throwing out phrases and supplements as if we all know what they are talking about. I didn’t understand most of it. I really wanted specifics - exactly what do I need to do, and how often, to build and sustain my muscle mass to keep my healthy into old age?? What type of exercise? And what exactly should I be eating, and not eating? I’m sure they were enjoying their conversation BUT for us laymen, a lot of this just went right over my head!!! Shame, because I do want to build muscle - not for looks, but to keep myself healthy as I age. I’m already 65 so this is important to me.
See that posture from the doctor?? Impeccable. Work that posterior chain! Dead lifts, reverse pec dec, face pulls, reverse fly, split squats, don’t neglect that posterior chain!
@ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="650">10:50</a> Dr. Lyon says the first meal should be high lean protein 30G Plus) to drive the pathway. This should have been explained in detail.
The eye contact champion! I am amazed how calm he is and how easy it looks for him to make eye contact. Coming from a guy who is crippled by social anxiety, never leaves the house and can't make eye contact with anyone.
Changed my life ru-vid.comUgkxIUm04tAgSzlAhCWEr7VlRptRAMVsjeAC I will never eat the same ever again. "Unless you physically trip and your face lands in a box of donuts, there is no such thing as a 'slip'." Get that mind set and you'll win again and again.
It is such a relief to focus on building muscle rather than trying to lose fat and stay slim and not take up space. So sick of the latter! Muscles are great! p.s. I am glad I learned about this now as I am almost 40! I don't want to be a frail old lady!
Many people are unable to discern between coincidence and causation. For them, the magical answer must be correct, because it requires no further explanation.
So interesting, I.m so glad she practices integrative medicine. Overall it seems she's interested in how your overall body is functioning first before just throwing a bunch of meds at you and send you on your way. Root causes and understanding severity of body processes.
Outstanding outlook and understanding of the human form's ability to function through space-time. The marketing is traditionally a generic ratio that truly cannot be computed within a pretty large tolerance window plus and/or minus. Being on the backside of life not relying on medications and living without an emotional fixation on food... the only things I recognize is recovery time, acceleration and flexibility. Simple formula. intensity. lift heavy, less reps more sets. rest. dump starch, dairy and tomato's. run harder and shorter distances more often. every once in a while run far without food and water...
Great interview. I love her! The problem with really low body fat in your late 30’s for women is your face caves in 😫I’m sitting closer to 20% body fat for dermatology vanity 🥴
Interesting to see this comment! I couldn't agree more... I'm in my early 30s and just began to notice this when I lost just a couple of pounds. I've learned that as we get wiser when you lose weight you tend to lose it first mostly in your face. It sucks! I still choose to age gracefully and naturally. I choose longevity 💜
What people need to do is eat sensibly, meat and two veg, stop eating fast foods. Stop smoking and drinking in excess. Regular exercise and no matter what your age is get to the gym now lift weights, get a trainer and do your best, l am 68 years old and I love the gym, good luck to you, you will sleep so good and feel great , honestly 👍🇬🇧
Excellent interview - I would like to hear more about the differences in Mtor in the liver v Mtor in muscle. Does this involve Foxo3, gator, raptor, other pathway? Great interview, Mike!
@ They all look sorta sick, dehydrated and worn out. Need coffee to save their life and they all think they only need 4 hours of sleep, not realizing they are running on adrenaline.
You bring good videos Mike. Do some intermittent fasting to lose weight and help with healing . Give your body a break from eating. Have a good weekend
To me following a carnivore diet it is simple to eat intuitively, whenever im hungry out of my regular schedule i ask myself, am i hungry enough to eat a steak or eat liver? If my brain answers NO then I know it is boredom or stress but not hunger so i distract myself and dont eat. If the thought of steak or liver is mouthwatering then i eat 🤷♀️
So methionine restriction is good.... but make protein a priority? If methionine is found in rich supply in meats, how can we make protein a priority while restricting methionine?
I have always wondered re: the mTOR issue why bodybuilders taking PED's aren't dropping all the time from cancer if mTOR is being favored so significantly. Besides the cardiovascular, renal and hepatic impact of anabolic drugs, I haven't heard of there being any specific elevated cancer risks in relation to mTOR in this group.
I really enjoyed the previous interview with Gabrielle. I remember it was mentioned that she was working on a book? When last I checked there wasn’t any update on it. Not sure if she dropped her plans for it?
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="364">6:04</a> "...I have some addendums to make..." Nice English plural, Dr Lyon, but Latin plural, "addenda," might be thought more consistent - a Latin plural for a Latin noun.
I would be surprised if yr wife has more than 10% bodyfat, I had a body scan this week 10.6 fat percentage. When I saw yr wife mri images I would gues she is really exceptionally low (5 to 8 % max) did she have dexa scan yet as she was mentioning in the video? This interview is very informative. I work in an elderly establishment(people between 70 to 97 yr old) sarcopenia and fragility is definetely not doing their life quality a big favor. I love the empasis on mucle building or maintaining and emphasizing enough protein
They both had a specific scan done maybe last year or the year before. There is a video in their archives. It was done here in Vancouver. He said his wife had the body of a 19 year old. Check it out!
Maybe the youthful muscle percentage is off a little? Very few are going to have even as much as 50% of body weight as skeletal muscle at any age. That's already around 10% body fat. For reference, in February, 2019, I did an InBody bioelectrical impedance analysis. Weight: 153.6 lbs SMM: 79.4 (skeletal muscle mass) PBF: 9.2 But, yes, I'd say a goal of 50% body weight as muscle is something to shoot for in the quest for health and longevity. (for men, at least).
Around 36 min mark she talks about menstration as a marker for women on Lean Body Mass. That marker is useless to us ladies over 60- and quite frankly over 50 too. I prefer the tricep test for us older gals. The midsection (ab) test is useful in CONUS, maybe, but it is a poor marker fir Arctic women- because of the vitamin D latitude issue- rather the nature of that adipose tissue-sub Q v brown, v visceral is a key metric. Sadly, she probably does not see many primal Arctic women at any age much less over 60. We are a rare breed.
I have no idea what you're talking about LOL. What are the tricep test and midsection test? Caliper tests? And how should body fat % change after menopause?
Cindi Anderson Post menopause? Lol, go through it and you will know!! You could use calipers- I don’t. Just put on a sleeveless shirt and wave. It the tricep still waving after you stop? If so, you have a bit more body fat than muscle- and you need to double down on diet and training.
I definitely agree, however here's the problem -- if you're above 20% body fat, then building lean muscle mass is hard due to insulin resistance. So your best bet is to focus on getting rid of insulin resistance (accompanied with leptin resistance). When you're at 20% BF or somewhere close, or in other words when your insulin is working properly, more or less -- then focus on strength training and building muscle, to get to that 12% BF. Or at least 15% BF. Both ranges are excellent. And train with gymnastic rings -- holy shit are they good for muscle building.
So what about someone like me? 63 years old, a lifetime of walking and yoga. An all-muscle body from being a potter for 44 years. I’ve started intermittent fasting low carb, no grains 16/8 two meals a day for the last month and I feel wonderful. Loosing those tough pounds from years ago. How much protein should I be eating per day. I’m pretty active and working.
Agree MS is important than weight loss. Tho most people don’t know how. Even when you try to get info, you get different opinions and your stuck with the fat. It’s only the doc’s who know what they are talking about, if your lucky to consult with one can show you the way to know, what to eat, when to eat, how much to exercise, types of protein n the list goes on. Not everyone has the privilege for various reasons.
Listening to her voice, it reminds me of tho voice of a female pro bodybuilder... I think you know where I'm going with this. Her voice seems to have changed from previous videos.
