In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon chats with Dr. Anthony Gustin about Muscle-Centric-Medicine®.

With her background in family medicine, geriatrics, and nutritional science, Dr. Lyon discovered that optimizing your health starts by focusing on the biggest organ in your body: skeletal muscle.

Her book Forever Strong outlines how your muscle health directly impacts your metabolic health, mental health, and overall lifespan.

As she says, “Muscle is the key to longevity and aging well. The more muscle health you have, the better your trajectory of aging.”

So she uses this approach to help the world’s game changers — from Navy SEALs and elite athletes to CEOs and entrepreneurs — become the best versions of themselves.

During their conversation, Dr. Gustin and Dr. Lyon discuss:

• The habits, behaviors, and standards her high-performing patients share that predict success across every aspect of their lives.

• How to create systems that address your personal weaknesses and outsmart your predictability.

• Why muscle health is so underappreciated and often ignored.

• Signs you don’t have healthy skeletal muscle.

• Why a lack of muscle is a greater health threat than obesity.

• Measuring strength vs. power to determine muscle quality.

• The importance of eating enough protein, working out hard enough, and building/preserving muscle mass as we age.

Dr. Josh Axe, DC, DNM, CNS, is a certified doctor of natural medicine and clinical nutritionist who helps people heal and prevent illness by using food, lifestyle, and mindset medicine. He chats with Dr. Anthony Gustin about how the right mindset creates a more meaningful life.

Dr. Axe suffered a very traumatic injury that left him unable to walk. He spent the last year and a half recovering by using natural remedies and focusing on mindset, which he shares more about during the episode.

This experience solidified his beliefs about what’s important in life besides nutrition and physical health — faith, spirituality, and being a good human.

• Why “mindset medicine” is the biggest aspect of better health we’re not talking about

• The benefits of finding your purpose and identity

• How Dr. Axe defied his doctor’s expectations with a healing mindset

• What religion and spirituality mean to them

Jake Marquez and Maren Morgan are filmmakers, writers, and podcasters. They chat with Dr. Anthony Gustin about their crazy journey making their documentary and podcast: Death In the Garden.

For the last four years, Jake and Maren have been trying to untangle the complex, tangled web of how we address climate change, fix the food system, and, hopefully, save the world.

Their project discusses these and other problems in our society through the lenses of ecology, philosophy, myth, storytelling, and, ultimately, our fear of death.

Jake and Maren have experienced their fair share of anxiety, despair, and existential dread on their quest for ecological and cultural regeneration.

But as you’ll hear in the episode, they’ve learned how to find meaning and purpose. They also helped Jake’s mom start a grass-fed tallow balm company called The Beekeeper’s Granddaughter!

Tune into the episode as these three chat about:

• What inspired Jake and Maren to start the Death In The Garden project

• Why prioritizing “left-brain consciousness” is harming our society/planet

• What it looks like to live ethically in an unethical world

• The four reasons people go vegan (and why Jake stopped)

• The potential collapse and finding good in the next “Dark Ages”

• Finding meaning and purpose in life

• The value of conscious, intentional consumption

• The most important things we can do to change the food system

• How being conscious about our mortality empowers us to embrace the natural cycles of life, death, and regeneration (and not make the same mistakes)

• Their hopes for this generation and what’s next for them
