I'll be 54 at the end of this week. I never considered myself 'athletic', but in my late 20's dated a guy who got me into both sports and lifting at the gym. So glad that, at age 27, I started building muscle. I thought I was late to working out at the time, but now that it's 27 years later (!) I'm ahead of the game for aging.
This is amazing. I'm 32 and really focusing on my food and working out. It's good to know that over the long term it does well. Your comment is an inspiration.
I’m a healthy 76 year old just putting some miles on my Electric Unicycle and thought I’d comment, 6 years ago I was a metabolic disaster. Now I’m good and the one thing I wish I would have done better was save my muscles. But I’m improving all the time. :-)
I did just pre-order Gabrielle’s book! And am looking forward to reading it starting Tuesday! This was a great interview and I’ve shared it with family and a few friends. I’m 75. And I’m not (to quote) overfat, but I’m definitely undermuscled! I have no aches or pains, and am “strong” (but not strong enough) and athletic. Since I only eat one meal a day I REALLY have to work at eating enough protein. My diet is heavy on eggs, cheese, homemade yogurt, meat and nuts, but even so, I could (and will!) do better. But muscle training is where I’m deficient. I’ve got to work on that. Walking 20,000 steps a day is NOT enough. I have the tools to do resistance training. I have to commit. This was an inspiring interview!
I pre-ordered the book and I look forward to reading it. my life changed once I adopted a ketogenic life style. I lost 70lbs and have kept it off for three years. Maintaining my ideal weight has been easy- I so wish the medical community would promote the consumption of animal protein and knock the food pyramid to the ground. No one needs sugar and processed carbs-they are NOT essential. Life is simple- first eliminate sugar and carbs which will eliminate inflammation and eventually your pain will go away and running around the block, climbing the stairs etc will be easy.
Dr Casey, thanks for this interview, really fascinating topic. I have observed also the issue of people working out and remaining exactly the same, or stating they are doing "everything right" and not "changing". Perhaps there is a lack of definition of goals or unrealistic expectations and people do not seem aware of that, as well as understanding that they have to dedicate days for months before such changes are visible. For what I read in the research world the people who are truly sedentary are going to benefit the most, but for people who have been working out consistently during their life there is a minimal benefit. Now add aging, with the hormonal changes involved in menopause, and you may not see anything at all. I found Dr Sims Stacy is a great resource as it is fairly eye opening in regard of women's health and physiology
"if someone is doing exercise, it should be challenging" YES WOMAN, I needed to hear this... have been getting wayyyyy too caught up with laaaame, slooowww cardio the last 3 weeks... and it is no good. bye. no longer! hitting the intervals tomorrow plus weights lets gooooooo
It makes sense that since skeletal muscle is a metabolic sink for glucose, muscle size is more essential in that case because more muscle can dispose of more glucose. Luckily training for muscle size will also increase muscle strength. It’s not as if we have to sacrifice one for the other.
No such thing as the best diet. People love to proclaim that whatever they’re doing is the best. Carnivore for example is too restrictive as is Keto, but they both can be effective ways of controlling glucose levels and with fat loss. The carbs help with muscle fullness so the right carbs with the proper amount of protein will give you a better looking self.
@@paroma101no, because they’re a different species and thus have a different digestive system, so their diet is the right diet for them. Our digestive systems (starting with our mouth/saliva) is totally different than an elephants. What a weird analogy.
here because I am/was staring to fall in to a hole of fasting, cardio, more fasting, more cardio, then processed sugar binge them more fasting and cardio...and totally fell away from the importance of lifting... the fasting after binges are "ok" for a reset, but I feel im trying to fall in to a cycle, and my body is losing the tight athletic tone I used to have when I was lifting more and just doing regular 16/8 instead of trying to do more 48 hour fasts and just walking...well im done with it. I dont like what im starting to see in the mirror and must change it now! thanks for having her on!!!
I don't believe it's necessarily true that the thinner you are when you go into menopause, the easier the transition or the lesser the symptoms. I have been normal weight ever since high school, very physically active,(in the gym, running, stremgth training), great diet, have had 3 children and lost my baby weight super fast, and had menopause start in my early 40's. Those symptoms were extreme hot flashes, night sweats, etc, for 15 years. Terrible symptoms. Am almost 70 now and still in the gym exercising every day.
I am 60 yrs feel like I am about 50 yrs. I work at a job that is impowered by walking fast/ lifting product. I do a 3 week fast. My mental I feel is good/ not perfect. As we age we have to keep moving cardio very important/ relationships/ public interreation helps. Be of service. ❤
I did heavy weights while pregnant up until the last month and i had a fantastic and easy pregnancy followed by a PAINFREE homebirth 😍 as a midwife i always incourage pregnant women to lift weights or at least squat for 15 min pr day. We see such a rise in fertile women getting gestational diabetes, hypertension, preeclampcia and anxiety it's crazy . And it has to do with high carb/processed food, toxicity and poor skeleton muscle for sure. Great video, you are both so inspirational and doing important work 🙏
Thank you for your comment!! I'd love to hear more about strategies for pain free homebirth...! That's inspiring! If you have any resources I'd be so grateful! :)
@@caseymeans132 i'm actually writing a book about painfree, estatic and pleasurable birth. I have 25 women so far (Denmark) that i'm interviewing about their experience and strategies. My own advice would be ; work on your fears and anything that might pop up that you daily put a lid on. A lot of ppl use so much energy to repress or put in the shadows about themselves. When in labour your energy is so focused that the subconscious has no barrier. Prepare yourself with a strong body (flexible psoas, strong legs) control bloodsugar (i did green veggie juice for energy, no sugar) surround yourself w ppl you feel safe with. I invited 3 friends who held space. We danced and laughed. I panted on top on the contractions, squatted, danced and moved my hips in circular movements. Be relaxed in jaw and hands. Maybe have someone remind you. In you contract, you whole energi system and cervix will contract. Flow more than contract. Work on any shame. Allow sensual feelings to arise. Kiss, touch maybe even nipple or clitoris stimulation. I felt it soooo pleasurable. I know a woman who touched her clitoris during each contraction in the pushing fase and it was like a switch. On/off on pain. I had practised with my boyfriend to squeze my inner thigh in pregnancy for 1 min while i practised meditation. It ment that during contractions i was able to flowt above it all and not be attached to whatever might be regarded as pain. Look up Orgasmic Birth. Also Ina May Gaskin, Birth as we know it and Kim Anami. Good resourced to be inspired by. And TRUST the proces. Have Faith, not fear ❤
Seems like there are lots of experts who tell us to eat more protein to build muscle and eat less, and lots of experts who say for purposes of longevity low protein is better.
The mechanism of insulin-independent glucose uptake during exercise, as I understand it, is AMP kinase. As ATP is used up during exercise, AMP rises, which increases levels of AMPK. AMPK, in turn, acts directly on the GLUT4 transporter inside the cell, causing it to translocate to the cell membrane, allowing glucose to enter passively. All this happens without the need for any insulin.
By 50s I had to slow down the cardio and intensify the weights. I was skinny and couldn’t really grow my muscles with the cardio at the rate I was doing it
The lost of muscle with fat loss makes sense. It is the reverse of the weight gain. The body needed the extra muscle mass to carry the fat around. Without a muscle synthesis trigger (lifting weight) the muscle recedes with the loss of fat
I'm a 65-year-old tiny woman ... under 78 lbs, 4'9.75" Is 80-85 grams of protein okay- should I still be eating 30 grams per meal?? I know Don Layman says we need 2.5-3 grams of leucine at the first meal in the morning (that means getting 30 grams of protein - so I'd end up eating 90-100 grams a day if distributed evenly throughout 3 meals) - but can a tiny person get less? I have been working with weights and definitely building muscle. Is there a negative with getting too much protein - 1.25 grams per 1 lb of body weight?
Like she says. Nobody should go below 100g/day. Have you tried tracking in an app? Since you also geting protein from plants, legumes, whole wheat bread ect, you're probably getting more than you think..
@@lisehrby2565 yes, I've been using Cronometer RELIGIOUSLY for years- I track EVERYTHING - so yes, I am well aware of how many grams of protein I'm getting as well as grams of individual amino acids, specifically leucine. So that's my point - I'm getting around 80-85 grams and since I'm under 78 pounds getting 80-85 grams is MORE than 1 gram per pound of body weight - 100 grams would be WAY MORE than that - so is it too much.
@@lisehrby2565 again - while she may have said nobody should get less than 100 grams a day, she also said 1 gram per pound of body weight too - which brings me to 78-80 grams - and I usually get 80-85 including all sources.
I don't believe her. I cannot eat enough to get sufficient protein for her. But if we were hunter gatherers would wouldn't either. So these demands don't make sense.
Everything said sounds super, but I am thinking....how is possible that a woman lives on average for 5 years longer, and an average woman's body composition has fewer muscles and more fat than an average man....hmmm, do you have any comment.....
I love your videos…except the length and the long continuous back slapping and listing of your education and experience. I get it and accept it. But they are too long in my opinion.
Everything this person says is in "medical speak" so it gives the impression that she knows what she is talking about but she says nothing. If she really wanted to get though to people she would explain these key words she throws out there that makes her sound smart.
You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health. Lower stress, reduce obesity and more exercise are key to a healthy life. Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world. Fast food and sugary drinks are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity. Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly. Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer. Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game. A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility. Ride a bicycle to work, ride to school, ride for fun. Every city should be a bicycle city. Speak up for bicycles in your community
Plants (unless organic) are being mass produced using herbicides, pesticides ,and glyphosate . Just the pesticides are enough to put you at risk of neurological injury .youtube's Jesse Chappus has a brilliant video about pesticides causing Parkinsons Disease .Manufacturers of such chemicals are promoting /funding plant based diets in order to maximise sales of their toxic products. Protect your health and see through the pseudo- science being propogated by such a malicious ,profit based Industry. We are less what we eat ,and more what our food ate. Plants eat what the soil consists of .The soil consists of what is sprayed on the vegetation growing in it.
Your comment has nothing to do with the topic of the video. Dr Lyon advocates the importance of muscle development, so weight bearing hypertrophic exercise is the goal, not cardio or “riding your bike”. Further, your advocacy or “plant based diet” betrays your bias against animal products. Comparative analysis of the anatomy of the human/canine GI tract would suggest that the ideal human/canine diet would be approx 90 percent meat-based products, as the human GI is remarkably similar to that of canines, and the human/canine shows approx 90 percent of the pared-down nature of the features shown by pure carnivores-felines. Thus just as if you were an alien deciding what to feed in a zoo of animals from Earth on your home planet, you wouldn’t be running randomized control studies, you would simply feed your zoo animals what they were designed internally to process.
There we go once again. NO! I tried the exercise muscle thing until I was blue in the face. It did NOT help. I'm so sick of one size fits all from Western Medicine.
Have you had a full blood panel and hormonal analysis discussion with your personal physician? If you are having challenges with changing your body composition (with basic and sound resistance training) and are having difficulty making improvements, you might have an underlying metabolic problem? It’s worth checking on.
the ENDVR documentary that shows the morbidly obese man who fasted for 55 days, lost weight yes but his BODY FAT PERCENTAGE barely budged! it actually went up during the fast! started at 53% then went to 58%!! then back down to 50% and finished at 46%.... yeah sure he lost weight but still nearly half his body weight is FAT. and not one dumbbell did he lift during this fast! and two weeks prior to the fast he was pretty much vegan, drinking veg juices etc....a body fat percentage of 50% is still extremely metabolically ill. They were so fixated on BMI...BMI is crap lol
Unhealthy skeletal muscle, muscle-centric "medicine" or better yet health care, yes please revolutionize health care (don't want to use the word medicine, we're conditioned to think "medicine" as in drugs always)
OMG this women takes forever to get her questions out, imagine having her as a Dr trying to give u information.....l wld be asleep in the corner before she got there7
book is same. Goes on and on, not saying anything new. Lots of words to sell a book with no substance. Luckily I got the book for free with trial of Audible.
#DrGabrielleLyon It is a dream of mine to work with her someday soon! She is an incredible doctor and I love her work! @DrGabrielleLyon And I can’t wait to get her book😇.
