Angela is joined by Dr. Gabrielle Lyon who’s here to discuss her new book, "Forever Strong," which focuses on the importance of skeletal muscle health for overall well-being. Dr. Lyon shares insights on preventing muscle wastage, especially in the context of aging and hormonal changes like menopause, focusing on the significance of starting early with resistance training and proper nutrition to maintain skeletal muscle mass.

They also investigate the relationship between physical strength and mental resilience, highlighting the role of courage, perseverance, self-discipline, adaptability, and resilience in achieving overall strength.

"It is much more dangerous to lose skeletal muscle mass than it is to gain fat. So we have focused all about adipose tissue, but actually, who cares about that?"

"The biggest, most exciting thing that I'm thrilled about is that we get questions like this all the time. So I have created a community and it's called a forever strong community."

"The first thing that I would say is, What have you ever done worthwhile that didn't require courage?"

"I was told I would never come off bipolar medication. And now I'm completely medication free and I credit that to the daily discipline of looking after myself."
