Everything Dr. Gabrielle Lyon said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
Lyon: Evidence Does Not Support Claims That Seed Oils Derange Metabolism
“The evidence doesn't support that seed oils are causing the derangement that people are saying.”
Lyon: Alzheimer's, Heart Disease, and Diabetes Are Symptoms of Unhealthy Muscle
“Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disease, Diabetes, obesity, that these are all symptoms of unhealthy skeletal muscle”
Dr. Lyon: Chronic metabolic diseases begin decades earlier in skeletal muscle
“Is all the issues that we are seeing, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, is this all a fat problem? No. It begins in skeletal muscle first. Decades before.”
Dr. Lyon: GLP-1 agonists are more effective than bariatric surgery
“These medications are more effective than surgery. There is less downtime.”
Dr. Lyon: GLP-1 muscle loss stems from poor diet, not the drug
“The reason people lose lean tissue on these medications, which is the other big criticism, is because they are not training, and they're not eating dietary protein.”
Dr. Lyon: Seed oils are irrelevant if you avoid processed foods
“If you're not eating processed foods, you don't have to give a shit about seed oil.”
Dr. Lyon: Yoga and Pilates do not build optimal muscle
“Yoga and Pilates are great, but is that going to allow a football player, Navy SEAL, or anyone else To build an optimal amount of muscle, including you and I? Probably not.”
Lyon: Short, Intense Exercise Is Superior to 10,000 Daily Steps
“So for me, I would say that the more intense the better, and I can equate this to if you're doing work. You would rather have 10 minutes of excellent work than a day of, I don't know what I accomplished.”
Lyon: Evidence Is Weak That Artificial Sweeteners Harm Brain or Body
“I don't think the data is very strong that most artificial sweeteners are negative to the brain or the human body.”
Lyon: Fixating on Seed Oils Distracts From Foundational Nutrition
“So the issue isn't food dyes. The issue isn't seed oils. The bigger issue is how do we feed for human health? All these other things are distractions.”
Lyon: Larger Waistlines Correlate Directly With Decreased Brain Volume
“The more overweight you are, the wider your waistline, the lower the brain volume.”
Lyon: Fasting for 24 Hours or Longer Impairs Muscle Preservation
“I do not recommend 24 hour fast or longer, because again, it's difficult to hold on to muscle as it is. So if you reorient yourself to muscle, then fasting over 24 hours is, you know, that's like the no-go zone.”
Lyon: Sedentary High-Carb Diets Cause Metabolic Dysfunction and Alzheimer's Risk
“If you are not training and you are sedentary, do not eat a high carbohydrate diet, or you are essentially giving yourself an oral glucose tolerance test three times a day. We don't want that. Because as we have these metabolic dysfunctions, she then is at a g…”
Lyon: Alcohol Is a Toxin and Risk Factor for Cognitive Impairment
“I do not think alcohol. I think it is a toxin period. And when we were examining people and we were saying, okay, so what is this person's risk factor for some kind of cognitive impairment? Alcohol was on the list.”
Dr. Lyon: Six cups of quinoa equal one small chicken breast
“You would need six cups of quinoa to equal one small chicken breast, and at the end of the day, if you care about numbers, then you have to understand these things are not interchangeable.”
Dr. Lyon: Whole animal protein cannot be fully replaced by supplements
“I mean, because it's not just about the protein. It's about the food matrix. It's about bioavailable iron and zinc, selenium, creatine, carnitine, and serine. You shouldn't need to take a million different supplements. We didn't evolve that way.”
Lyon: Entrepreneurs Cannot Outpace Their Biology
“Any entrepreneur, anyone interested in business or doing well in life cannot outpace their biology.”
Lyon: Skeletal Muscle Is the Only Voluntarily Controlled Organ System
“Skeletal muscle is the only organ system we have voluntary control over.”
Lyon: There Is No Such Thing as a Healthy Sedentary Person
“There's no such thing as a healthy, sedentary person.”
Lyon: Higher Muscle Mass Correlates With Better Sexual Function
“We just published this paper, and the paper demonstrates that the more healthy muscle mass you have, the greater sexual function you have.”
Lyon: 40% of Men Have Erectile Dysfunction by Age 40
“By the age of 40, 40% of men will have erectile dysfunction. By the age of 50, 50% of men will suffer from erectile dysfunction.”
Lyon: Novelty Is One of the Biggest Distractions for Health
“Humans love novelty, and novelty is one of the biggest distractions for health.”
Lyon: Morning Protein Shake Improves Brain Function and Reduces Snacking
“Anchoring your day in a high-quality protein. One shake. It affects brain function. You're gonna be much less likely to eat any of the snacks in your fucking snack room.”
Lyon: Extreme Emotional Highs and Lows Are Vulnerability Windows
“At the peak and the trough, meaning at the peak as high as you go and as low as you go, those are both vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities as a doctor who cares for these people from health perspectives. That is the moment where you go off your diet plan.”
