Muscle is the organ of longevity, and we can move the needle in a positive manner by having a muscle-centric approach, is really having a capable approach to all domains of life, regardless of whatever camp you are into, whether it's animal-based or whether it is plant-based, the concept of protein should not be divisive.

Okay, welcome back, or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. My name is Dr. Michael Gervais, and by trade in training, I'm a sport and performance psychologist. I love this podcast. I love these conversations.

The people we get to learn from, the insights that they share, the best practices.

So she's a functional medicine physician, and she's also the founder of the Institute for Muscle Centric Medicine.

So she received her doctorate in osteopathic medicine from the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine. She's also board certified in family medicine. So there's a unique combination between her osteopathic training and her undergraduate degree training in human nutrition, where she specialized in vitamin and mineral metabolism.

So now in her private practice, she leverages evidence-based medicine with emerging cutting edge science to help restore metabolism, to help balance hormones, and then to optimize body composition with the goal of lifelong vitality. A world-class athlete that has been setting this standard for her sport for a long time referred Gabrielle to me, and that's pretty much how her practice looks. CEOs, military operators, like Navy SEALs, Green Berets, Army Rangers, people really pushing. She's also working with the Canadian Special Forces as well. In a world where vegetarianism and veganism have seemingly become the gold standard for health, Gabrielle says, wait, hold on, that's cool. I'm not saying that that's not okay, but she's putting a tall flag in the ground saying, there's something that you must, if you're choosing that way, you must get right.
