Science for the people, by the legendary @drgabriellelyon and her squad @shanekronos etc. "Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between erectile function and muscle health. Maintaining skeletal muscle with nutrition and physical activity improves erectile and overall…
Wow that is another use of science…
Two crusading animal-rights "bioethicists" calling for the engineered spread of ticks in the population to create allergies against red meat, and thereby reduce meat consumption. Yes, you read that correctly. Universities sure have some psychopaths in their ranks these days.
Menopause is a cardiovascular turning point. Vasomotor symptoms, poor sleep, visceral fat, and insulin resistance all spike during the transition—and so does risk for heart disease. Yet <20% of OBGYNs are trained to manage it. This expert panel, including @DrMarthaGulati, calls…
Women having a heart attack are more likely to be misdiagnosed. They often present differently—and that misdiagnosis leads to delayed care and higher death rates. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27574333/ Listen to my episode this week with @DrMarthaGulati to learn more. x.com/drgabriellelyo…

The widely used “220 – age” formula for max heart rate was never validated in women—it came from a few studies on young men preparing for military service. @DrMarthaGulati shares a sex-specific alternative from the St. James Women Take Heart Project: 206 – 0.88 × age. Watch now!
"Exercise is medicine." says @DrMarthaGulati. It isn’t just a health habit—it’s a predictor of survival. Fitness level is one of the strongest independent predictors of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. We cover this and more in this week's episode. Watch now!…
Better muscle health = better erections. Now that I have your attention, check out our recently published review: academic.oup.com/smr/advance-ar… Sexual health and muscle health are linked but rarely discussed together. Our review published this week highlights a consistent positive…
Obesity doesn’t just impact metabolism—it rewires how your muscle responds to protein and exercise. Anabolic resistance blunts muscle protein synthesis, especially in myofibrillar tissue, even after resistance training. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC65…
Weightlifters enhance protein efficiency with consistent resistance training. Endurance athletes experience higher amino acid oxidation—especially leucine— potentially requiring distinct nutrition strategies. @Nicholas_Burd explains in this week's episode!…
In obesity, muscle often has the quantity but lacks the quality. Emerging research points to multiple contributing mechanisms, including intramuscular adipose infiltration, impaired mTOR signaling, and chronic low-grade inflammation. I unpack the concept of anabolic resistance of…
Sarcopenia and cardiovascular disease are locked in a vicious cycle: CVD accelerates muscle loss via inflammation, vascular dysfunction, and catabolism. Sarcopenia worsens CVD via insulin resistance, mitochondrial decline, and reduced function. Muscle is not optional.…
Your 60,000 miles of blood vessels support nitric oxide, immune defense, and metabolic homeostasis. When it breaks down, disease accelerates—often silently. Endothelial health is not a soft marker—it’s a clinical imperative. Watch this week's episode with @michaeltwymanmd…
You can reverse plaque buildup—if you catch it early. Dr. Michael Twyman shares how targeting nitric oxide, the glycocalyx, and inflammation helped him reduce soft plaque by 6% in under 2 years. But first? You need to see it. Visibility unlocks prevention. Watch Now!
Your arteries are coated with the endothelial glycocalyx—your body’s vascular armor. It senses blood flow and triggers nitric oxide production. Damage it, and your heart pays the price. Discover why this overlooked structure is key to longevity in this week's episode with…
1 in 5 heart attacks happen with zero warning. In this week’s episode, I talk with @michaeltwymanmd about nitric oxide, the endothelial glycocalyx, and the future of heart disease prevention. Watch the full episode below!
In 1990, researchers showed something incredible: even 90-year-olds made significant gains in muscle mass and strength from high-intensity resistance training. Muscle matters at every age and we've been underestimating it for far too long. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2342214/
Speaking of strong women: Before Jan Todd broke world records, she saw another woman deadlift 225 lbs. That moment changed her life. Strength is contagious—especially when women see it in each other. Hear her story + more on the forgotten history of female strength!
