Episode 078 of the D&D Fitness Radio Podcast sees the return of Dr. Gabrielle Lyon. We dive into the topic of ‘Metabolism’ and the factors that influence an individual’s metabolic function. Dr. Lyon identifies the key role of dietary protein in managing metabolism through tissue building, maintenance of lean muscle mass and even thermogenic effects. She also discusses the differences between males and females, particularly as they age, and the impacts on metabolism and body composition. The topic of intermittent fasting and travel are also discussed and how these types of activities can both positively and negatively impact metabolic processes.

Dr. Lyon received her doctorate in osteopathic medicine from the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine and is board-certified in family medicine. She earned her undergraduate degree in Human Nutrition from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign where she studied vitamin and mineral metabolism, chronic disease prevention and management and the physiological effects of diet composition. She also completed a research/clinical fellowship in Nutritional Science and Geriatrics at Washington University in St. Louis.
