“She hits the nail right on the head regarding her teaching of preventing sarcopenia for healthy aging. I also appreciate her teachings on protein consumption and the amount of protein and especially BCAA necessary to stimulate protein synthesis. Very valuable information!! Thank you Dr. Gabrielle.” – Joesph P.
“This woman changed my life. I was struggling with hormonal eczema and severe fatigue for 5 years. I tried everything, even saw a gastro, a dermatologist, endocrine doc, and three functional medicine doctors before her with no relief. She helped me put all the pieces together, killing a parasite, detoxing from heavy metal toxicity, reversed my hashimotos, cleaned up my diet to the most personalized for my genetics and based on my blood work, and now no eczema! I can lift again, play with my toddler all weekend instead of sleeping 12-14 hours a day and I refer all my patients who I suspect have something systemic going on or want body composition optimization. Get ready to make some changes when you see her, but your body, and family will thank you.” – Emily K.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon takes a multi-modality approach to health + healing as she understands we are each individuals with our own journeys + stories. She has forever changed my life in the best way.
