To this day, everybody focuses on obesity, but obesity is not a problem. If you are in the lower 1-3 of strength, you have a 50% greater risk of dying from losing anything. You have to prioritize Delta Muscle. What is that?
This is the organ of longevity, the only organ system that you have on target. And there's only two ways to stimulate Delta Muscle. Number one, Dr. Gabriel Lyon is a pioneer of muscle science and the board certified physician for athletes, CEOs, and Navy Seals.
Transforming the way we think about muscle and how it can prevent disease, optimize your body, and completely reshape how we age. When it comes down to your health, it shouldn't be about how you look. It should be about how you perform. And there's no replacement for resistance training and Delta Muscle Mass.
But only 68% of people are meeting a resistance training guidelines. The majority of individuals are sedentary. Can you describe to me what my life will look like as a 61-year-old if I just sit in this chair and do zero resistance training for the next 30 years? Are you ready?
We're 30. So right now, Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular disease is likely to be like, throughout your life span, fewer testosterone is probably low, and your sperm quality isn't as good as it could have been. So there's a link between my fertility from then and women and my muscle mass? Yes.
And then we're probably going to be extremely winded walking upstairs. Likely at least 8-6-6-6-5-9, which means you're reading your brain and my bald health. And it's all going to come down to choices. Our present choices will determine your heart outcomes.
So run me through your day because I'm just going to copy whatever you do. Great. Okay, so what time do you wake up? Would you be?
How long did you train for? Are you calorie counting at this point? And what time is that last night? Well...
Question. If you could sit at a table with any four guests from the Diaries CEO, who would you choose? Here's a challenge for the entire Diaries CEO community.

And here is the best part. 3,000 of you that subscribe will be invited to join this conversation live in person and for free. Subscribe now and let's make this happen together. Dr.
Capriella Lion, what is it that you do for people? I believe that I take away any physical restrictions and I certainly feel privileged to take care of people that change the world. When you say physical restrictions, give me some flavor and color as well. You know, when we think about the way in which humans are, sometimes they have low energy or hormonal problems or gastrointestinal problems, you name it, but those things limit their ability to show up in the world.
No matter how high performing or how high achieving, the common denominator is their health and nobody will ever go higher than their own personal health. It is the great equalizer, that in age. And who do you do it for? Give me a flavor of the people you've worked with and the walks of life they come from and what they do.
Well, I've been a physician for 20 years and there has been a number of patients and kinds from geriatrics. I did my fellowship in geriatrics and aging and when I finished that, I started a consummical practice and I take care of right now many of the guests who have been on this podcast, like Evie Pamporis and a woman named Dan Capattrick. I don't know if you know who that is. She's a race car driver, extraordinary.
And many tier one operators like Navy SEALs and CEOs, individuals that are out there that are Mavericks really trying to change the world. And one of the things that happens is individuals have this capacity to push through any way they're feeling, but the cost of that is very predictable. And in my clinical practice and part of what I believe that I was put on this earth to do is to help people who helped change the world. So when people come to you and your practice, what is it that they typically say?
What is it the most typical thing that they're searching for and how do they articulate that? That is a wonderful question. And one of the things that they say is they feel like they know they could feel better, that they could have more energy, better sleep, you name it, that they just have this sense that something is still on the table. And we figured out, we go through whether it's environmental testing, again, hormones, blood work, a lot of my patients have been deployed overseas, they come back, they've been to Mayo Clinic and all these other places, but they still don't get better.
And I think wellness and health is very holistic in the approach. And I am telling you, once that is taken care of, these people are already making such an impact, but then they can go on because they're not encumbered by inflammation or not feeling well or let's say their body composition is off. Let's say they are someone who's always been a high achiever and high performer and I don't know, they hit midlife and all of a sudden things have changed. It's my job to help remove any of those physiological restrictions so they can do what they do best and not worry about the other things.
Is it complicated? What you propose, are your solutions complicated or are they simple? Another great question, it really depends on what it is that we're looking at. The most complicated of all of it is actually not the physical.
It is definitely the mental. Because you have to understand that I think a physician needs to be very good at being able to recognize patterns and diagnose patterns of disease, but an effective physician is able to recognize patterns of people because people are extraordinarily predictable in their nature. I'm going to give you an example. You're looking at me, there's an eyebrow raise.
I had, I'll tell you about one patient in particular and every year he put on this massive event. This massive event in Vegas made millions of dollars, did well and every year I'd wait for the phone call. I'm feeling depressed, I just did so well, I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm off my diet, I don't work out, I all the living of things and what he failed to recognize was as high as he was going was as low as he was going to fall and I see that with all my type A.
