Summary

Why Muscle Is Key For Longevity | This episode is brought to you by Hairprint

You may be surprised to learn that muscle is our body’s largest organ. And unfortunately, the natural loss of muscle mass and strength as we age is associated with all-cause mortality and linked to the incidence of many chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease and stroke, hypertension, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. For these reasons, it’s especially important to maintain muscle mass through exercise and eat more protein as we age. But what kinds of protein, and how much do we need?

Dr. Hyman explores these questions in his conversation with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, and they explain why muscle is key for longevity.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is an integrative physician who completed her fellowship in Nutritional Sciences & Geriatrics at Washington University, St. Louis. She is board-certified in Family Medicine and completed her undergraduate work in Human Nutrition Vitamin & Mineral Metabolism. Dr. Lyon works closely with current and retired Special Operations military operators as a part of the Task Force Dagger Foundation. In addition, her practice services professional athletes, executives, and anyone looking to level up their health. Her Manhattan-based practice focuses on combining the physical with mental optimization.

0:00.0	Coming up on this episode of the doctor's pharmacy, this obesity epidemic isn't quite an obesity epidemic.
0:05.6	It is really an epidemic of poor muscle mass, low muscle mass, obesity,
0:10.8	genocercopenia, loss and destruction of tissue.
0:15.2	Hey everyone, it's Dr. Mark. I know we all want to feel our best as we age and that comes along
0:21.4	with looking good too. Now I'm sure many of you have struggled with gray hair and I bet if you're
0:25.6	living a healthy youthful lifestyle it's making you look older than you actually feel.
0:30.0	I see a lot of patients who make an effort to live a clean life but then they use these toxic
0:34.3	hair dyes to feel a little bit younger. The problem with that is that the toxins and dyes
0:39.5	like PPD, ammonia, toluene and even lead acetate which is bad for you are linked to everything
0:45.1	from infertility to neurologic diseases and even cancer. So you're actually speeding up the
0:50.5	aging process within your body when you're trying to reverse it on the outside. That's why I was
0:55.8	really intrigued to learn about a product called hair print. It's the only hair coloring system in
0:59.6	the world that is not a dye and actually infuses the hair with its own natural pigment called
1:06.4	eumelinin. To replace your natural hair color the best part about hair print is that it's super
1:12.0	clean. It's made from eight food grade ingredients that you can apply yourself at home and it's
1:17.2	available for men and women. So I really think you should ditch those toxic hair dyes for good if
1:21.6	you care about your health. Hair print offers a much safer option and leaves you with natural
1:27.0	hair color that also makes your hair healthier, stronger and shinier thanks to the type of
1:31.8	prochina contains. Hair print doesn't cover up your own variations in hair color only grays.
1:39.2	So it looks really natural. It works for light brown, dark brown or black hair. They don't have
1:44.5	a formula that works for a blonde or red hair yet but they're working on it. If you want to add
1:48.6	something new to your self care routine and grays have been bothering you, I'd definitely recommend
