Forever Strong

Summary

Forever Strong by Dr. Gabrielle Lyon reframes healthspan, the number of healthy years we live, through the lens of skeletal muscle. Lyon argues that many of the conditions blamed on aging (slowing metabolism, stubborn weight, fatigue, cardiometabolic risk) are often signs that we are undermuscled, not just overfat, and gives practical guidance on how to think, eat, move and recover with muscle in mind.

Why I recommend it

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon's muscle-centric medicine aligns with how I see health. Muscle isn't just about appearance, it's a metabolic and functional organ that protects joints, the body and long-term health.
