The Surprising Truth About Protein & Why You Need More For Longevity! | Dr. Gabrielle Lyon

[@sherilynalexnder897]

A few years ago, age 50, I was in relatively great shape -weight training 3-4x/wk, long beach walks in the surf 2-3x/wk, tennis, bowling, etc Out of the blue, I had anaphylactic reaction to an antibiotic. I woke up in the hospital four days later with zero recall of the incident. My daughter who was with me at the time, informed me I'd gone through four hours of CPR ion the ER because my lungs were too seized up to move me to ICU, then they put me on a vent and medically induced coma for four days. She said the doctors told her if I hadn't been in such good shape with a lot of muscle, I would not have survived. It wasn't until listening to Dr. Lyon that I finally understood what they really meant by that. Needless to say, I'm a believer in the power and necessity of muscle tone at any age, but especially for long health spans.

[@richarddebono7092]

@@stevenupton7825 Slave minded suckers die young because they fell for the govt juice scam. Some bodybuilders die young due to lifestyle choices . If you can't understand the the principal behind muscle mass working as a highly bio available reserve of amino acids then the problem exists within you. It's so funny how haters come on here pretending to be critical thinkers, even though you're all owned by the same corporations who own your government.

Wow amazing message.. I have always been active from childhood.. In Africa in my country 70% of the population is rural living offgrid on the land and food production is done by the whole family. We didn’t have running water and had to fetch water and firewood etc.. Before and after school we worked the land.. Now in my fifties living in Europe and in the last nearly 4 years we are lucky enough to live on a 1acre property and do a lot of gardening..loving being back on the land growing most of our own food.. Its very Rocky with stones everywhere and use big stones for my garden design.. As big stones as I can lift carry or roll and I love the challenge .. We grow 100% natural and rake lots of leaves as we live basically in the forest.. gardening is all year round unless there is lots of snow.. 90% of our gardening is preping and 10% is growing and harvesting.. We kram as much plants as we can in say one bed.. A mix of veg flowers berry bushes etc.. We grow so much that we give away lots.. We get nutritious, chemical free food, because the focus is on growing our soil..before we can learn to grow food we must learn to grow the soil.. We must learn how to plant water into the soil too.. We do rainwater harvesting and use only rainwater for watering.. Healthy soil =healthy bodies.. fitness also.. I love our African dance and in winter I can dance for up to two hours for the love of it.. Sometimes i combine gardening and dancing.. Singing and dancing whilst we work back home always lighted the work load.. In the summer when its lighter with something like 19 hours daylight.. I can be in the garden working 7 to 8 hours.. On workdays i can wake up early and do an hour in the garden plus before work.. My job is very physical work too.. After work I am back in the garden.. When you love what you do.. Its not work but play.. People talk about cost of living crisis.. The food part of it is not an issue for us.. I grew up with grandparents that taught us about seed saving.. I buy good seeds once and save them....in this way there is zero inflation or zero imputs. I will not buy even organic fertilisers because i don"t trust the chemical crazy agriculture system..

My great grandmother was working in her garden, canning, cleaning her gutters, carrying 50lb bags of dog food, walking to/from the grocery story, taking care of her yard, etc until she died of a stroke in her sleep at 104. My grandfather ran, did situps, pushups and pullups every day in his adult life until he fell off a ladder a week from his 91st birthday. He was sweeping his roof. He died the next day from the head injury. Get off your butt, and go do something hard.

During my convalescence I researched and discussed matters with my leg doctor. A few weeks in I had a bad IBD flare up and heard the keto carnivore view of the inflammatory nature of many plants. Then I learned about More protein to build bone and prevent sarcopenia of muscle. I just had 4 eggs and bacon for my first meal today.

We should think of exercise as a medicine for our muscles because of the effects it has on our overall health. recommendations HiiT training at least once a week, strength training min (baseline)3-4 times a week inc squats, deadlifts, kettlebells full body workouts, individual body parts min 2 a week, weights not necessarily heavy but must have volume =reps, sets, frequency x duration - we need to challenge ourselves for muscle growth because it creates a capacity to age well, and we should also do at least 1-2 workouts a week we hate -because they are hard. we also need to do 150 mins of endurance walking or cardio for the mitochondria. Our bodies need this for ultimate health - not just for looks - this is all for the medicine that muscle provides us - for all ages.

The problem with animal protein is increased IGF-1(increasing cancer risk), TMAO(damaging your vessels), FGF23(also harmful to vessels), heme iron(creating free radicals), higher sulfur amino acids(bone health issues), it's unsustainable, and it's terrible for our environment. It is completely possible to get all the amino acids you need. Even if you're getting "carbs" from eating all the legumes, it's locked in with TONS of fiber. I have about 120g protein per day.

This year I took up spin classes through a franchise & it is an awesome way to get in high intensity training. At 42 years old, full out sprints are possible but come with a high injury risk. With cycling I can go as hard as I can manage with a relative miniscule risk of injury. If you can enjoy the style of music spin instructors tend to play, as I do, I can't recommend it highly enough. My main nutrition authority for the past 10 years has been Alan Aragon. By coincidence, he recently released a journal article titled "Age-related muscle anabolic resistance: inevitable or preventable?" Perhaps the easiest takeaway is to increase protein intake while keeping overall calories the same - I personally consume 50 grams of whey protein powder a day as someone who doesn't love eating a ton of meat.

Just reading Robert Lustig’s book ‘Metabolical’ in which he says that tryptophan which is found in eggs, poultry and fish is rarer and more important because it’s the precursor of serotonin. But the BCAAs this lady keeps going on about when taken in the kind of amounts she is talking about and not ‘used’ will be taken up by the liver (or the liver will take the amino acid groups off) and turn them into organic acids which will then be further diverted into liver fat through DNL or into excess glucose which can the n generate hyperinsulinemia and drive chronic disease. So more tryptophan and less BCAAs. But that’s not what she’s saying. Is this therefore dangerous advice? Is there not a danger of just consuming the excess protein and making things worse?

[@capcomfan82]

I think a topic that should be spoken about on health channels like this is about working out with the intent on building muscle and what intensity is needed to do so. I see plenty of faces at the gym that are spinning there wheels not getting any gains. I dont think people realize how reluctant your body is to change, it has to be put to the brink to gain muscle or lose fat.

Hard disagree. There are multiple ways to gain muscle and lose fat. You only know of one. The least healthy way to do it to boot.

[@ondrej1893]

I think we shouldn’t shy away from using efficient “all in one” resistance/cardio training protocols, because they already exist and are incredibly safe when done correctly. Also very simple. Typically called HIRT, high intensity resistance training. Formerly HIT but that’s confusing with HIIT. The effort is high but the movement is relatively slow and controlled.

On the question of meat.. I think that we Africans will be last inline to give it up.. Tradionally our favourite meat is the organ meats which are super high in protein and nutrients.. The liver, kifdneys, tripe, heart lungs, oxtail, the hoofs, tongue etc.. We also boil the heads of animals, the brain tastes good too. Not only that.. If we are going to slaughter animals for food.. We must be respectful enough to those animals and not waste any part... Just last week I ate catterpillars one of our delicacies with protein higher than say a steak gram for gram.. I am glad the good doctor was very firm on this subject and did not tiptoe around The subject of meat eating.. Too many people are silenced these days and go along with ..there is room enough for meat Esters and Non meat Esters.. In my culture or ancient culture.. Conservation took a commonsense approach..we have two second names, surnames or totem.. First one is usually after an animal, buffalo , elephant, cow.. species of bird, certain landscape, water pool, body, lake, open veld etc n The second is a family tree.. Like say an oak, beech, pine to make it easier to explain.. Those with specific animal, bird totem.. You are not to denigrate you totem in any way.. You are the protector of your totem you can not eat or slaughter or hunt your totem.. Other groups can though.. Because if everyone ate everything there will nothing left.. The same goes for your family tree it is taboo to chop it down, to use.it as fire wood or for anything for that matter.. Another other groups can make use of your family tree.. My totem is water pools/bodies etc.. We are the proctors everything living in water and providers of water.. The taboos are only for me and my group totem but everyone else can fish and eat fish and anything else from water bodies.. This was/is designed to ensure Conservation.. If indeed everyone follows this.. No one should look down or tell another what they can or cannot eat.. That is taboo in Africa .. In the west its fast going towards govt legislation because certain groups believe one size fits all.. Sorry but thats wrong on every level.. on whether we can eat meat in the future or not that is my choice and no one else's.. This is totally the wrong approach and verging on dictatorship . When people become militant about the diet they choose and want everyone else to adopt then its time to say enough! . Each to their own..

I'm curious about gut health: the effect of TMAO's from meat consumption. How fiber is necessary for short chain fatty acid production. I'm open to hearing many points of view, and, the emerging science of gut health wasn't addressed. I'm menopausal - age 54. Becoming plant-based really made menopausal symptoms disappear. I workout and hike pretty much daily, but haven't been doing HIIT. Was inspired to do a HIIT workout this morning, and feel FABULOUS now. Thanks for all you do, Dr. Chatterjee!! I absolutely adore your podcast. Thanks for the inspiration to get more muscular, Dr. Lyon!

A fascinating episode & thank you for all the insights. I struggle to understand how did the generations of for example my grandparents remain healthy well into their 90’s when throughout their lives & especially childhood, they had animal protein so very rarely. They were poor & mainly lived on lentils, potatoes & buckwheat where I come from. Meat and cheese was a rare luxury, fish was eaten pretty much only at Christmas, yet they enjoy a fairly healthy old age.

Processed food is the culprit.

I’m 63 and started to dead hangs, at first I could hang for a few seconds before my grip would let go and I’d slip of the bar, now I can hang for one minute in 25 second periods, I can even do half a pull up. I started to do body weight squats at first I couldn’t do one, now I can do a hundred. Push up, crunches and hip thrusts all improved.

[@richarddebono7092]

In actual fact we do have the answer. When it comes to health, environment, plant & animal based dietary protocols can ALL be best maintained for the largest possible population by nurturing soil with more grazing livestock. The research has been done. We do have the answers. There are very powerful special interest groups who will never allow this truth to spread as it should. It's still the truth. Grazing animals are critical for soil therefore carnivores are critical to herbivores. Everything & everyone is interconnected.

Exercise is great…unless you have an MTHFR gene mutation. In that case, and I was in my late 40s when I found out I had this, you’ll be literally allergic to exercise. Exercise causes release of histamine MTHFR mutation means your body doesn’t make DAO, which helps the body process histamine. Signs include fatigue after eating (also raises histamine), weird or plural allergies, and a good starting spurt with exercise that suddenly and quickly declines (I could run faster than my peers for 50m but then couldn’t do more in HS). For me strength training now requires yoga. I do well with lifting so long as I take DAO. I even take it before food. Point is, every human body is different.

I haven’t felt the pinch as much as my meat eating colleagues. But I mainly eat fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, lentils, whole grains. If you survive on processed foods like impossible burgers etc then yes, you’re going to feel inflation. What do you eat out of interest?

If you want to improve your health you need to eat meat. Veganism is super nutrient deficient and will cause you health issues sooner or later.

[@denisea.9033]

I can appreciate a lot of what she's saying, but not necessarily as the only way. In 5 years of living in a blue zone (Okinawa) and having watched 5 family members make it very close to +/- 100 yrs old, I can say that most of them never set foot in a gym nor lifted weights for the sake of lifting weights. What I have seen is active individuals who never sat around watching TV all day, did not eat much processed food, no fast food, eating home cooked meals which consisted mostly of rice, beans, salad, nuts, some meat or fish sometimes, some fruit, etc., and were/are cleaning their homes, walking dogs up and down hills, gardening, sweeping their porches and neighborhood streets, etc., walking to get their groceries several times a week and just real life movements and lifting. Low stress, no social media, no news, time with friends and loved ones and nurturing a hobby or teaching valuable skills to the younger generations.

[@chuckleezodiac24]

i'm with you. but according to meatheads, Ikarians & Okinawans are not truly healthy but instead are actually stunted, sickly, weak, frail and lead miserable lives. and Dr. Anthony Chaffee recently said that Blue Zone diets are primarily Meat-Based! that's why BZers live long healthy lives... i'll just stick to eating plants & animals. and exercising -- because i enjoy it.

[@denisea.9033]

@@chuckleezodiac24 they do eat a lot of meat here in Okinawa, mostly pork and fish, it’s on or in pretty much everything - with rice or noodles and some vegetables, little fruit.

[@chuckleezodiac24]

@@denisea.9033 yes. people in Blue Zones have balanced diets with plenty of meat, dairy & seafood as well as vegs, grains & fruit. the key is avoiding refined carbs, excess sugar, processed foods and junk food. but Vegans claim that the BZ diet is 90% plant-based.

Another great podcast. The big question for me is how do you get that 30g to 40g of high quality protein - other than having to buy very expensive whey protein. Perhaps an egg and chicken sandwich would be sufficient, which consists of 1 whole egg and about 100g of chicken. As long as it contains all the right amino acids, I guess.

This was a really good and informative video, lots of great information. I need to add a "HIT" program to my weekly workout program. I'd love to hear more on how to help older seniors. I too have an 81 year old mother with declining health. Dementa, body slowly deteriorating. I try to reduce her sugar, but she needs more protein after hearing this. Would love to see more on how to help our seniors, which could be bridged into how us in early and middle life can change our lifestyles so our end of life is much higher quality.

[@hannibalsaints8824]

I really enjoyed watching this interview, and there were many interesting points, but there were also other aspects that are controversial, when we are talking about longevity with quality of life. For example, the Blue Zone regions are home to some of the oldest and healthiest people in the world. The term refers to geographic areas in which people have low rates of chronic disease and live longer than anywhere else. And this is what is very interesting: > People in Blue Zones typically eat a 95% plant-based diet that’s rich in legumes, whole grains, vegetables and nuts, and although most groups are not strict vegetarians, they only tend to eat meat around five times per month. > Other habits common to the Blue Zones are a reduced calorie intake and fasting. > In the Blue Zones, people don’t exercise purposefully by going to the gym. Instead, it is built into their daily lives through gardening, walking, cooking and other daily chores. > People in Blue Zones get sufficient sleep and also often take daytime naps. > Aside from diet, exercise and rest, a number of other social and lifestyle factors are common to the Blue Zones, and they may contribute to the longevity of the people living there such as, being religious or spiritual, having a life purpose, older and younger people living together and having a healthy social network. So, despite believing in the importance of some of the things that Gabrielle mentioned as being essential, it seems to me that the centenarians who live in these Blue Zone areas can teach us a lot.

By the way muscles are small hearts ❤️ which pump blood. It has to pump blood to the brain and heart. Atrophiesed or strained muscles do not pump blood and pinch nerves. and that's why people have pain when nerves are squeezed. muscles squeezes nerves and squeezed nerves stop sending information, thereby, people feel pain. When there's an accident on a freeway, traffic can't move. Weak muscles, like traffic. prevents blood pomping and couses pain,due to squeezed nerves.

Stress is terrible for both our physical and mental health. After hearing her saying that it's healthy, I can't take her seriously. The false eyelashes and fake smile don't help either. 🤷‍♂️ As a neuroendocrinologist I will try to simplify what is meant by stress. Chronic Stress = bad Acute stress = good (but we rarely need it). The acute stress response keeps you safe from harm e.g. respond to perceived fear by fight or flight. It mobilizes the body to move. We evolved to hunt or flee from predators but modern lifestyle rarely requires the acute stress response. Movement lowers cortisol, so exercise reduces stress. Chronic (longer term) stress causes disease. If there is no physical response to acute stress or the parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest) does not stop the response, it continues & this involves the HPA (Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal) axis. If this is not calmed by the parasympathetic nervous system, the body stays in a continuous state of stress. This is bad. The problem is most people don't understand the difference between acute & chronic stress. They hear badly explained or confused advice from people who are not clear about the endocrinological mechanisms. Acute stress is only good as a safety response but can be bad because it can lead to hypervigilence after trauma. Exercise has nothing to do with stress itself, it is only part of a endocrinological response. As academics & health professionals we need to show responsibility & have clarity when we talk about stress because it confuses the hell out of people. They end up saying dumb things like stress is good 🙄 when it isn't. Only the "acute stress response" is good but we rarely need it thankfully.

[@domenicobertone1807]

You need to stress your body in order to build muscle (gotta destroy your body... and rest if you want to build muscle). Chronic stress is bad, acute stress is good

[@MJ-qb5ph]

Depends on level and type of stress - I went back to study working full time in my 40s and emerged with PhD - stressful yeah but it stretched me. My nsrcisstic family almost drove me to suicide when my parents passed - hideous stress that caused me to totally reassess life - IF and gym etc. she makes some good points - I cherry pick from multiple sources but she does add to what needs to be said regardless of her appearance

[@zenbumblebee]

@@domenicobertone1807 Nope. Acute stress is the fight or flight response. You are confused but close. When you move your body you release adrenaline & lower cortisol, the fight or flight response prepares for movement (delivers same neuroendocrinological response. We evolved to move fast to survive (hunt or flee predators). Today we are no longer doing that so we need to exercise to stay healthy. Long-term or chronic stress is the HPA (Hypothalamus Pituitary Adrenal) axis which is different. I'm a neuroendocrinologist. You need to study some basic biology.

[@zenbumblebee]

@@MJ-qb5phYes I know I'm a neuroendocrinologist. Sorry for your loss. Most families are dysfunctional including mine. I love them with clear boundaries & always walk away from narcissistic bullies. I'm doing PhD research too. I only got half way through the interview because I just couldn't stand her fake personality. Many people don't understand the difference between acute & chronic stress. Her lack of clarity is dangerous.

[@karenohanlon4183]

My parents were born in the the 1930s the weight she mentioned is exactly what they weighed. I get that you need muscle however my mother worked in a factory. She walked to work home for lunch back to work. She cleaned house and that was about the extent of exercise. I really find it difficult to accept the we need to lift weights. Processed foods cause muscle wasting. She never went to a gym or dieted. People never lifted weights unless it was moving things in the home or carrying children. I dont buy the rippling weight lifter thing.

[@jameslincoln4154]

People never lifted weights, but they were much more active, so, to a point, it wasn’t necessary, we don’t live that type of life anymore. On your second point - it is unrealistic to believe that if a woman does resistance training, they will have ‘rippling muscles’. It is SO hard to build that much muscle and you have to lift SO heavy that most normal people will never get there lifting reasonable weights. Secondly, it is easier to build strength without making muscles larger. The older you get the more important it is to do resistance training, since you will start losing anything that you had.
