How to Raise Strong Kids: Protein, Strength Training and Building Bone Before Adulthood

What you choose to eat is the single most important decision you make every day—impacting your metabolic health, your family, the economy, and the future of our food supply. In this episode, world-renowned cardiologist and nutrition expert Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian breaks down the "Food is Medicine" movement, cuts through dietary confusion (fats vs. carbs, food label marketing, and ultra-processed ingredients), and reveals how public demand, science, and policy can repair a broken food system. If you have ever felt overwhelmed in the grocery aisle or wondered how to separate real nutrition science from industry marketing, this conversation provides a clear, practical roadmap.

Protein is in everything right now: coffee, chips, cookies, bars. But despite the massive marketing hype, the world’s leading scientists are still debating fundamental questions about how much protein we actually need and how the body uses it. Fresh off the Protein Summit 3.0 at Texas A&M, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon breaks down what top researchers agreed on, why treating protein as a single number is a major mistake, and how to stop falling for "high-protein" health halos in the grocery store.

In this episode, board-certified anesthesiologist, researcher, and former Real Housewives of Dallas star Dr. Tiffany Moon pulls back the curtain on modern medicine, surgical pain management, and the reality of navigating elite academia. From addressing widespread public fears around clinical fentanyl use to detailing why she was branded an "embarrassment" by academic peers for appearing on reality television, Dr. Moon speaks candidly about breaking stereotypes, the gender pay gap in healthcare, and using a massive public platform to advocate for science and mentorship.

Can you tell someone's testosterone or estrogen levels just by looking at their face? Is "jawmaxxing" actually backed by science? In this video, we dive deep into the real science of hormones, physical attraction, and evolutionary biology. We debunk popular myths around high testosterone, facial masculinity, and ovulation preferences, revealing what the research actually shows about human mate selection. Discover why facial structure isn't a hormone panel, how estrogen impacts skin and collagen as women age, and why physical strength accounts for 70% of perceived bodily attractiveness. If you want to understand how hormones shape our development—and why muscle is the single most modifiable signal of health and longevity—this episode is for you.

When you have musculoskeletal pain, the natural instinct is to try and treat it directly. But the cause of that pain often starts somewhere else in the body. I learned that from this week's guest, Dr. JJ Thomas, who is my physical therapist and good friend. She was my patient first, and now we are each other's patients. She has practiced physical therapy for more than 25 years and has worked with the Philadelphia 76ers, the Philadelphia Eagles, and athletes from the UFC and US Olympic programs.
