## Resource

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, fellowship-trained geriatrician and founder of muscle-centric medicine, mentored for two decades by protein researcher Dr. Donald Layman of the University of Illinois, explains why skeletal muscle, not body fat, governs glucose disposal, metabolic health, and longevity. Covers the leucine meal threshold, anabolic resistance, sarcopenia, myokines including interleukin-6 and BDNF, the WWII nitrogen-balance origins of the 0.8g/kg protein RDA, and the GRADE-system red meat analysis published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
