About this listen

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Learn how to reboot your metabolism, build strength, and extend your life with this accessible new book that demonstrates the importance of muscle for health and longevity from the founder of the Institute for Muscle-Centric Medicine®.

After years of watching patients cycle through her practice, Dr Gabrielle Lyon noticed a pattern. While her patients struggled with a wide range of conditions, they all suffered from the same core problem: they had too little muscle rather than too much fat.

When we think about muscle, we tend to think about strength or aesthetics, but in reality, muscle accounts for so much more than that. As the body's largest endocrine organ, muscle actually determines everything about the trajectory of health and aging. Many of the conditions Dr Lyon's patients were experiencing were actually symptoms of underdeveloped or unhealthy muscle.

Now, Dr Lyon offers an easy-to-follow food, fitness, and self-care program anchored in evidence and pioneering research that teaches you how to optimize muscle-no matter your age or health background. Discover how to overcome everything from obesity to autoimmune disorders and avoid diseases like Alzheimer's, hypertension, and diabetes by following Dr Lyon's powerful new approach to becoming forever strong.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This book has been one of the most inspirational and knowledgeable books that I would recommend anybody to read.

It really makes you understand why we got here today having such bad health crisis across the globe.
Meat has been blamed. Animal foods have been blamed.
While in reality is what helped us all throughout the past centuries- meat and animal foods were at the core, broths, animal fats, and we never were obese or unhealthy like we are now.

The truth is here - you do what you want with this info

the narration sets the book back a lot it, it is not a fun audiobook to digest and would be best in written form.

Decent science, boring delivery

Great book and love the content / unfortunately I found Gabrielle wasn’t a natural narrator so wasn’t an easy listen.

Great content but..

I came across Gabrielle Lyon on Youtube, and was very impressed by the blend of scientific studies and common sense that is the basis for her "muscle-centric" approach to healthy aging. Her book is a more in depth discussion of the principles behind it, and advice for implementing it into your daily life.

It's a good step-by-step guide, covering all the basics for people who are new to this area. It does however spend a lot of time on motivational stuff, and I would have preferred some more in depth discussion of the science. It also a long sections trying to describe different types of exercises, which doesn't work well in audio format.

The author does a perfectly acceptable job as her own narrator.

Great advice, some problems as an audiobook.

In my opinion, Don Layman is the most authoritative speaker on proteins I've listened to. Dr Lyon is a protege of his and I have also enjoyed listening to her on YouTube. Hence, the purchase of this audiobook.
Unfortunately, I found it disappointing, unnecessarily long and repetitive. It added nothing to what is obtainable on YouTube and seems to be pitched squarely at women. At times it felt like I was listening to an infomercial: The Lyon Protocol, The Lyon Protocol, The Lyon Protocol, ad nauseum.
If you have limited knowledge of nutrition, physiology and exercise, then it might be a worthwhile listen. Otherwise, not recommended.

Disappointing

Had high hopes for this book but after grinding and grinding through, I had to throw the Towel in about three quarters of the way through !! Confusing guidance with contradiction after contradiction.......'Carbs are dangerous'.......'eat over 100 Grams of Carbs a day'.......'Eat Meat'.....'Don't eat Meat'....blah, blah, Blah !!!

Seriously one to forget.........DO NOT GET THIS BOOK...

Absolute Garbage full of contradictions

I have never left a review before but had to for this. I heard the author on a Mel Robbins podcast. Mel asked her ‘what about our vegetarian or vegan friends’ to which she replied about pea protein shakes.
What she actually says (not until almost 4 hours in sadly), is that people who don’t eat red meat eat fake meat substitutes, ice-cream, cake and chips (crisps) instead. I am stunned and sickened by the author.
When asked by Mel she should have said her actual views. I feel robbed that I paid for this book.
Needless to say, don’t buy if you are vegetarian or vegan …or neither, but don’t eat red meat.

Absolutely slates plant based eating

I loved what the author had to say - but I couldn’t stand to listen to her read the book, the narration was so terrible to listen to, with emphasis on the wrong words it made it difficult to understand and frustrating to listen too. -I could bear it any more and returned the book. I will by a hard copy and read it myself. It’s a shame as she has a lot of good things to say.

Terrible narration - had to return!
