When we think about muscle, we tend to think about strength or aesthetics, but in reality, muscle accounts for so much more than that. In this episode, we are honored to welcome Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, to discuss the importance of muscle (and how too little can lead to big problems).  Dr. Lyon is an expert in the practical application of protein types and levels for health, performance, aging and disease prevention. Ahead, you’ll hear a thought-provoking conversation on the best approach to regulate your glucose, reboot your metabolism, build strength and ultimately extend your life and vitality.

Hosted by best friends Krista Williams and Lindsey Simcik, Almost 30 feels like a series of candid, late-night talks with people who genuinely get it. This podcast centers on the messy, transformative journey of navigating your late twenties and beyond, blending heart-centered conversations between the hosts with raw and impactful interviews. Their discussions naturally span modern spirituality, practical health and wellness, fitness, self-improvement, and the complexities of dating and relationships. What you’ll hear isn’t prescriptive advice but rather shared exploration-hilarious, vulnerable, and often surprising. The aim is to create a supportive audio space that challenges listeners to expand their view of what’s possible for their lives. Tuning into this podcast means joining a conversation that fuels a more conscious evolution, offering both laughter and tangible insights for personal growth. Krista and Lindsey build each episode with the intention to empower, making the often-isolating topics of alternative health and personal development feel accessible and deeply relatable.
