Sleep loss can undermine weight loss efforts on a reduced-calorie diet. Key findings from a 2-week study with 10 overweight adults found that sleeping 5.5 hours vs. 8.5 hours reduced fat loss by 55%, increased loss of fat-free body mass by 60%, increased hunger and resulted in

One simple but powerful concept that I learned from Dr. Gabrielle Lyon MD is that rather than thinking about fitness and nutrition goals, set fitness and nutrition standards for yourself and make sure that you meet or exceed them. It makes the process exciting rather than daunting.

Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon I agree Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.. I wonder if Dr. Gabrielle Lyon developed this insight during her medical training 🤔… It’s one of found myself resorting to naturally as the requirements of training necessarily force one to sacrifice healthy lifestyle patterns. It’s very difficult to hit

I had the honor and privilege of sitting down with Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. to discuss the critical role of healthy skeletal muscle in promoting longevity, brain health, disease prevention, ideal body composition, and overall organ and system health. Don't miss out on this insightful

1/9) 7 Facts About Muscle & Protein 💪 EVERYONE WILL LEARN, even Dr. Gabrielle Lyon This thread is going to ‘wade in,’ drawing inspiration from Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. w/ Dr. Gabrielle Lyon + extra information, including NEW 2024 data 🚶‍♂️The First 3 Will be your Warmup 🏋️‍♀️Then the Main Set

Higher protein (1.2-1.6g/kg/day) with meal-specific protein quantities of at least 25-30 grams per meal + energy-restriction diets lead to greater weight loss, fat mass loss, and preservation of lean mass along with greater improvements in select cardiometabolic health outcomes

My long-time mentor and best friend Don Layman was inducted as an American Society for Nutrition (ASN) Fellow last week. This award recognizes his lifetime commitment to advancing the discipline of nutrition and improving global health. His work has paved the path for future

Thank you Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. it was such a pleasure to sit down and discuss action items for people and their health!

This is an amazing TEDx JUST released by Mohit Khera one of the world leading urologist!!! He introduces his new concept “Sexspan.” MUST WATCH. youtu.be/xSe5_rh6Xk4?fe…

You can’t get away with the same dietary habits you did when you were younger! Research shows younger adults can boost muscle protein synthesis with 1.7g of leucine per meal, but older adults need 2.5g for optimal effect. Quality protein intake of 30g per meal is key. 🏋️‍♂️💪 PMID:

In this week’s episode of The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, Dr. Pat Davidson and I discussed his 'ground' algorithm for selecting the right exercises based on support and feedback levels. Appropriate exercise selection is crucial for beginners or those at higher risk of injury. A BMC

Is plant-based really better? A recent study compared fresh, lean beef with plant-based alternatives in overweight women. Results: No difference in satiety, but beef led to lower carb/sugar intake and was rated higher in flavor, texture, & acceptability. While the study was

Do GLP-1R agonists really cause muscle loss? Despite popular belief, a comprehensive review of 19 studies shows that GLP-1R agonists, often used for diabetes and obesity, may actually reduce muscle atrophy, inflammation, and adiposity while enhancing muscle endurance and

In our clinical practice, we are committed to supporting veterans and special operators who face unique health challenges. My husband and I, together with our colleagues, recently co-authored a meta-analysis of the association between military exposures, such as Agent Orange and

What's the role of meat in a healthy diet? Dr. David Klurfeld from the Dept. of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service wrote a great article summarizing the research and its nuances around meat consumption and negative health consequences like cancer. "...taking a relationship built on weak

New study from Stuart Phillips (he/him) reveals that adding leucine to plant-based protein blends can boost muscle protein synthesis (MPS) as effectively as whey protein. Interesting study for vegan athletes or anyone looking to maximize muscle growth with plant proteins. PMID: 38846451

Energy Balance Model vs. Carbohydrate-Insulin Model — what really drives obesity? A global panel of experts recently gathered to debate the root causes of weight gain and obesity. In speaking with my longtime mentor Don Layman, it is probably both - addressing obesity requires

Mendelian randomization study in PLOS ONE reveals a causal link between sarcopenia-related characteristics (like reduced appendicular lean mass and slower walking pace) and cognitive decline. We can’t ignore the power of skeletal muscle any longer—building and preserving muscle

Newly published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, this RCT demonstrates that a 4oz beef patty stimulates muscle protein synthesis more effectively than a 4oz soy-based meat alternative (Impossible Burger). However, doubling the portion of the Impossible Burger to 8oz matches beef's anabolic
