Better Everyday #77 Dr Gabrielle Protein On Muscles As Medicine
In this episode, we have the brilliant and beautiful Dr. Gabrielle Lyon! We asked her all your burning questions about what to eat before a workout, and after, how much protein women really need and why she believes muscle is the organ of longevity. Dr Lyon calls protein the “black sheep of the macros” because it has such an emotional trigger for many of us – after all it has a face. We talked about the chemistry of protein, why it’s so crucial and some vegetarian protein source math so you can do better with your protein choices. To learn more about Dr Lyon click here.

Thank you for your great podcast! I listen to other health podcasts hosted by men and they are saying we need less protein not more. Everyone, including Dr. Lyon, state they have studies that support their conclusion. Mark Sisson and Dr. Mercola are are warning about eating to much protein for health and fat loss. I am 54 years old, have 88 lbs of lean muscle mass (I weigh 128 lbs) and they suggest I have about 70 grams of protein per day. After listening to this podcast, that would be way too low. I have been running fasted, but not sure if I should be adding more fat or more protein to my diet. It seems a lot of the paleo/ nutrition experts that I listen to are telling us to eat less and less. I am trying to be intuitive, but sometimes the damage of diet changes don’t happen for a while. I would love to know what you think about intermittent fasting and waiting to eat after a workout for repair and fat burning.
