Gabrielle Lyon: Muscle Is an Organ and Here’s Why It Matters

Key Takeaways

• Treat muscle as an energy-producing organ – Focus on mitochondrial health, not just muscle size or strength.
• Prioritize resistance training – Non-negotiable for muscle health, but must be paired with energy system support.
• Support mitophagy – Clear damaged mitochondria to improve muscle quality and function.
• Combine training with energy system support – Better mitochondrial function leads to stronger performance, faster recovery, and sustained energy.

Supplements & Protocols Mentioned

• Mitopure (Urolithin A) – Supports mitophagy to clear damaged mitochondria and improve muscle energy production. Used daily by the author.
