Description

What's with all the protein shaming lately?

When a staggering 75% to 80% of us are overweight and facing metabolic dysfunction, is eating less meat on Mondays really going to save us?

If you really want to know who is responsible for the destruction of our environment and our collective health, I'm happy to say it's definitely not our cow friends peacefully burping on pasture.

Eliminating a high-quality protein source like meat often backfires as meat substitutes and other processed vegan and vegetarian foods pollute our bodies and the planet with petrochemicals and low quality carbs shipped back and forth across the world.

So if you're looking to get rid of stubborn fat, like the majority of people, animal protein is often one of the most powerful tools to help you reach and maintain a healthy body composition for a lifetime.

And I'm pleased to say that joining us on the show today is Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a functional medicine physician, speaker, founder of the Institute of Muscle-Centric Medicine, and creator of the The Lyon Protocol.

Dr. Lyon received her doctorate in osteopathic medicine from the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine and is board-certified in family medicine. In her private practice, she leverages evidence-based medicine and cutting-edge science to restore metabolism, balance hormones, and optimize body composition with the end goal of helping others discover lifelong vitality.

I hope you enjoy this one. We're chatting about…
