In today’s society, many of us focus on losing fat to achieve and maintain adequate health. But the paradigm is slowly shifting toward the importance of gaining muscle. The metabolic and systemic effects of skeletal muscle are astounding. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is a functional medicine physician who has pioneered a specialty in “Muscle-centric Medicine”. Years of research and study on the topic have shaped her unique approach to functional medicine and patient care.

The world of medicine can be challenging. Clinicians and patients are always looking for more options, more effective treatments… and in the end, more answers. What if there was a way to practice medicine that digs deeper and offers a new perspective? Functional medicine focuses on addressing root causes of disease. At Genova Diagnostics we’ve watched this field evolve and grow for over 35 years….

We’ve not only adapted, we’ve led. Join us as we talk about functional medicine, laboratory testing, and optimizing health. Welcome to the Lab Report.
