Welcome back to another episode of our Mafia Moments series. On this episode, we were joined by Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, the author of Forever Strong and health coach to many of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world.

In this short episode we discuss:

• Going through the rigors of medical school and residency, while extremely challenging, gave you the broad knowledge base needed to truly appreciate the impact of lifestyle factors on health. Even though some of what was taught conflicted with your prior nutrition knowledge, it was a necessary process.
• Spending time with geriatric patients and routinely witnessing death gave you profound perspective on the importance of living courageously in the present and making thoughtful decisions about things like nutrition, relationships, and time management. Regrets at end of life often center around not spending enough time with loved ones.
• Many chronic diseases of aging like Alzheimer's, heart disease, diabetes, etc. have roots in midlife and are directly related to body composition (e.g. wider waistlines correlating with lower brain volumes). Caring for health when younger is crucial.
• Building skeletal muscle mass in your 20s-30s is important not just for aesthetics but as a metabolic reservoir and amino acid sink to safeguard health with aging. The habits and discipline required to build muscle are valuable in their own right.
• Muscle is our "health currency" that cannot be bought or bargained for - it requires consistent effort over time, but is a uniquely fair pursuit accessible to anyone willing to progressively work towards their potential.

CROWDHEALTH - AN ALTERNATIVE TO HEALTH INSURANCE
- If you're a carnivore or just simply metabolically healthy and want to get off health insurance, look no further. The Carnivore Crowd at CrowdHealth is a group of extremely healthy individuals who share a few things in common - 1) they do not like traditional health insurance (for obvious reasons), 2) you care about your health and your family's health, and 3) you don't want to be stuck within a model of healthcare that promotes reverse incentives.
