This episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠The Primal Tallow Balm.⁠⁠ Protein FREE GUIDE: https://www.theprimal.com/lab/eat-more-protein-lose-weight-faster-amount-needed-ideal-timing-qualityThis episode features Dr Donald Layman, a PHD researcher and expert in protein metabolism and metabolic health. Dr Layman has spent decades researching the role of protein in metabolic health, including the role of leucine in muscle protein synthesis. This episode will be your ultimate protein guide. Dr Layman will discuss why protein is so important, relating to muscle health, aging, disease prevention, and optimal body composition, namely fat loss. Up to 45% of people do not consume enough protein daily, which is likely mainly in women, and the RDA amount of 0.8kg is far too low for optimal health. Dr Layman will discuss how much protein you need per day for optimal muscle and cellular health, why the timing of protein matters, and the quality of protein as we age.This episode is important for anyone who wants to optimise their health through adequate protein consumption. You will learn exactly how much you need to eat, the best sources of protein, the role of leucine, and exercise protocols to increase strength.

In this episode we're diving into all things protein recommendations for women, especially women over 40. The spoiler alert is this: RDAs are not in your best health's interest. In case you've slept through this, check out the latest episode of Dr Gabrielle Lyons with Donald Layman. It's a long hike or two walks to be sure. But in it you'll hear how nutritional guidelines came about. It will make you laugh. We have put so much stock in something that was basically, like, this sounds good or a compromise. And… the recommendations as we well know originally came from the dairy, beef and wheat councils who have government connections. Much of what you've been led to believe about animal protein and saturated fat is false. Much of what you believe about eating cholesterol causing cholesterol is false. But what you haven't heard about protein is also keeping you from optimal health. The only way to know for sure how you're affected is to: measure your body composition and skeletal muscle mass. Measure fat in a percentage and measure muscle in absolute lbs or kg. Log your energy, sleep, and hormone levels. Get the protein support you need with Flipping Fifty's protein powders.

Key Guidelines on Protein Recommendations for Women: Based on the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) for healthy, exercising individuals. Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS): Both resistance exercise and protein intake boost MPS. Consuming protein before or after resistance exercise enhances this effect. Daily Protein Intake: For muscle building and maintenance: 1.4–2.0 grams of protein, per kg body weight, per day (g/kg/d) Example: 130 lb (59 kg) female would need 118 g of protein per day at 2.0 g/kg. For improved body composition (in resistance-trained individuals): 3.0 g/kg/day may help reduce fat mass. Example: 130 lb (59 kg) female would need 177 g of protein per day at 3.0 g/kg. Per-Serving Protein Intake:Recommendations vary by age and exercise routine. Generally, 0.25 g of high-quality protein per kg of body weight, or 20–40 g per serving, is ideal. Leucine Content: Effective protein doses should contain 700–3000 mg of leucine and a full range of essential amino acids (EAAs). Leucine content in proteins: Pea protein: 1.7 g Hydrolyzed beef (Paleo): 2–3 g High proportions of essential amino acids (EAAs) and adequate leucine, are most effective in stimulating MPS. Protein Distribution and Timing: Ideally, protein intake is evenly distributed every 3–4 hours throughout the day. However, the anabolic effect of exercise is long-lasting, at least 24 h. Continuing protein intake throughout this period is beneficial to reduce muscle breakdown Animal vs. Plant Proteins: Animal proteins provide all EAAs at high levels. Most plant proteins need to be combined to meet EAA requirements, except for hemp hearts, quinoa, and (if tolerated) soy products. Carbohydrate and Protein Recommendations for Women Endurance Athletes: Ensure adequate carbohydrate intake to enhance performance. Adding protein can reduce muscle damage and aid recovery. Pre & Post Menopausal Women: Protein Timing: Recent studies on men suggest timing is less important, but menopausal women benefit from more immediate post-exercise protein (40–60 g) to combat anabolic resistance. Carbohydrate Needs: Low Energy Availability (LEA) and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) risks increase when energy intake is too low: Women: ~30–35 calories per kg of fat-free mass (FFM). Men: ~15 calories per kg FFM. Example: With 100 lbs FFM, a woman needs ~340 g of carbs/day. Risks of Low Carbohydrate Intake: Many women consume only 50, 100, or 150 g of carbs, which may lead to not just reduced performance but also endocrine dysfunction and low bone mass. Your Go-To Action Plan on Protein Recommendations for Women in Midlife Assess Current Intake: Track total calories and protein. Pre- and Post-Workout Nutrition: Focus on nutrient intake before and after high-intensity strength and interval training. Evaluate Progress: Monitor weight, body composition (body fat and skeletal muscle). Identify Caloric Needs: Check if you are undereating to maintain weight—especially if it has been ongoing. Prioritize Lean Muscle Gain: Eating more and building muscle may be necessary before metabolism supports fat loss. Protein Strategy for Postmenopausal Women: Aim for 1 g protein per lb of body weight. Distribute evenly at meals, targeting 30 g minimum, with 40+ g at meals and post-exercise. Track Results: Regularly evaluate the impact on body composition and overall health.

What changes do aging Females need to make to stimulate MPS? As women age and transition into perimenopause and postmenopause, several physiological changes, including declining estrogen levels, impact muscle health and the effectiveness of dietary protein in stimulating muscle protein synthesis (MPS). Here's an explanation based on insights from experts like Dr. Donald Layman and others: Why 30 Grams of Protein May Not Be Enough Declining Estrogen Impacts Muscle Metabolism: Estrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining muscle health by promoting MPS and reducing muscle breakdown. Lower estrogen levels during peri- and postmenopause reduce the body's sensitivity to dietary protein, making it harder to maintain and build muscle. Anabolic Resistance: With age, muscles become less responsive to protein intake, a phenomenon called anabolic resistance. This resistance means that older adults, particularly women with lower estrogen levels, require more dietary protein to achieve the same MPS stimulation as younger individuals. Leucine Threshold in Aging: Leucine, an essential amino acid, is the key trigger for activating the mTOR pathway and initiating MPS. While the leucine threshold for younger individuals may be around 2.5 grams per meal (found in ~30 grams of high-quality protein), this threshold increases in older adults. For peri- and postmenopausal women, it may rise to 3–4 grams of leucine per meal. Protein Needs for MPS: To meet this higher leucine threshold, peri- and postmenopausal women may require 40–50 grams of high-quality protein per meal, depending on the protein source. Animal-based proteins like whey, eggs, and lean meats are rich in leucine and more effective at stimulating MPS compared to plant-based proteins. Practical Adjustments for Aging Women Increase Protein Intake Per Meal: Shift from the general recommendation of 30 grams of protein per meal to 40–50 grams to ensure sufficient leucine and overcome anabolic resistance. Choose Leucine-Rich Foods: Incorporate foods like whey protein (1 scoop contains ~2.5–3 grams leucine), chicken breast, fish, eggs, or lean beef. Spread Protein Intake Across Meals: Aim for even protein distribution throughout the day rather than consuming most protein in one meal to maximize MPS stimulation multiple times. Combine Resistance Training: Resistance training synergistically enhances MPS, counteracting age-related muscle loss and increasing the effectiveness of dietary protein. Supplement if Necessary: Consider leucine or essential amino acid (EAA) supplements to meet the required threshold, especially in meals that may fall short of the necessary leucine content. Key Takeaway Peri- and postmenopausal women need to adjust their protein intake to counteract anabolic resistance and the loss of estrogen's supportive effects on muscle health. Consuming 40–50 grams of high-quality protein per meal with a leucine content of at least 3–4 grams is essential to optimize MPS, maintain muscle mass, and support healthy aging.

Calories you need in menopause are key as your body experiences these natural changes. Exercise nutrition in menopause is more important than ever. The intuitive response to a desire to lose menopause weight or belly fat is to eat less and or do sit ups and tons of cardo. All bad ideas. Make the calories you need in menopause, your guide to wellness. First, let me tell you that I'm not an advocate of telling anyone how many calories they need or of tracking. I don't measure food. I don't use points. At Flipping 50 we focus on a simple formula and it starts with whole foods, protein, and servings instead of calories, points or exchanges. That said, it's sometimes necessary to really take a closer look at exercise nutrition in menopause. But I want to emphasize a few things before we begin. Calorie counting isn't the best method if: You want to change your body composition (tracking macros is a better approach for body recomposition). You have a history of disordered eating and feel the urge to drastically cut calories to an unhealthy level. You're not actually sure how many calories you need to eat. If you go searching blindly online, you'll find a lot of different answers. For example: Take your weight x 15 for a moderately active individual to maintain, as suggested at harvard.edu. There was no distinction between males and females. For my 200 lb client that's 3000. You'll see as we continue that's different from other numbers. Any calorie estimator should take into account two things. Your BMR, which is your basal or resting metabolic rate, and your activity level. So when you figure out your BMR you have an idea that if you drop below that number you're going to risk interfering with bodily function. That's number is just to keep you alive and functioning. For my client that's 1380. Where to Start with How Many Calories You Need in Menopause Before you count calories, we first need to determine how many we need to eat. But we also need to consider what your past has been. So on paper, or on the internet, it's so easy peasy. Then welcome to life. My client weighs 200 lbs. She doesn't want to weigh 200 lbs. She's very active. Weight training and HIIT, some endurance exercise - not much, and a lot of activity like pickleball and golf for 3+ hours several times a week. On a “day off” exercise, she's still very active. Calculations on calculator.net will tell her this: 2381 to maintain 2131 mild weight loss 1881 weight loss 1lb /week 1381 extreme weight loss 2 lbs/ week This is based on her being extremely active, although not the highest level of activity. From the Mayo Clinic calculator, I got 2100 as the average calorie needs daily. That is congruent with the numbers from calculator.net. Here's the problem: reality. Her usual caloric intake has been 1500 - 1881 for a very long time. She isn't kicking up her metabolism with meals or with activity. Essentially by eating that little consistently for so long (while not losing) and exercising significantly, she's likely slowed her metabolism. She's putting one foot on the accelerator (exercise) and one foot on the brake (low calorie diet) constantly. She can't lose weight because she's not eating enough. What's the Answer to Better Exercise Nutrition in Menopause or Beyond? Cycling her higher and lower calories for her active and rest days will help. Most importantly though is looking at the content of her meals. If she's not getting enough protein, shown in studies with peri and post menopausal women both, to be a key indicator of fat loss, she'll lose a significant amount of lean muscle when she loses weight. That reduces her metabolism further. The opposite of the desired effect. Protein recommendations also vary significantly. But the work of Dr Donald Layman, Blake Rasmussen and Douglas Paddon-Jones, have shown that distributing protein in a minimum of 25-30 grams per meal and reaching your total protein intake daily helps avoid muscle loss. The work shared by Dr. Bill Campbell tells us that increasing protein without changing calories at all, spurs fat loss. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon has shared a simple way of estimating protein need - steeped in science - that is 1 gram of protein per lb of body weight as a goal. For weight loss (without muscle loss), that number increases while your total caloric intake decreases. Intermittent fasting can be helpful, for some, twofold. One, it reduces the eating window, almost automatically reducing caloric intake. Even if you have the license to eat, if you have increased protein intake wisely to reduce muscle loss, and you're eating fibrous foods, your satiety level will prevent you from eating too much. That said, cycling your intermittent fasting windows is also helpful. Any time you adopt a strict schedule or a strict calorie count, or carb count, you risk the body adapting and slowing metabolism to compensate. That's the opposite desired effect. You have to fuel exercise. Exercise is a muscle breakdown activity. The rebuild occurs between sessions - if you allow enough time, and enough fuel to do so. You can play with the calculator.net site. It calls this cycling a zig-zag schedule. But it's the same … I'd have my client boost calories sometimes for one week during a build muscle focus. The next week we'd have a moderate caloric deficit and workouts that are shorter and less demanding. Or we have higher caloric days and lower calorie days (as well as carb levels higher and lower) while protein remains high consistently. Beyond the Calories You Need in Menopause: More or Less Fat? Wonder about how much fat? Studies shared- again via Bill Campbell, PhD - say it matters very little and is just your preference. You can experiment. Genetically, I'm predisposed to do better with slightly higher carbs. You may be otherwise and you don't need to do a DNA test to find out. Most of us know by now. When balancing the calories you need in menopause, remember flexibility is key; you can adjust fats and carbs while maintaining essential protein levels for a vibrant health balance. If you want to lose weight and aren't - but are thinking low carb works for you - you could be wrong! Be open to testing for yourself. But the beauty of the science is that as long as protein increases within a set calorie intake, the fat or carbs can go up or down. You have room to enjoy the birthday cake or a favorite seasonal meal that might be higher in carbs, and you haven't blown it! You'd simply reduce the amount of fat you consumed that day.

If you wear a fitness tracker, and burn 300 calories - that doesn't mean you get to eat an extra 300 calories!    In this bonus episode of Habits & Hustle (Fitness Friday's), Layne Norton and I talk about how to know how much to eat based on your workouts. Everyone is different, and sometimes workouts can drive hunger significantly; However, sometimes it is psychological. I also dive into the research behind step count and whether 10,000 steps actually make a difference. I share with you information on fasted versus fed cardio, and how to know which is better for you if your goal is fat loss.    Layne Norton is the founder of BioLayne. He created the company to provide ethical, science-based coaching that synthesized real-world experience with evidence-based protocols. In his coaching career, he has turned over 70 people pro and reshaped the way that countless people think about nutrition. To that end, Layne completed a BS in Biochemistry and a Ph.D. in Nutritional Sciences, honing his intellectual skills under Dr. Donald Layman, one of the foremost researchers on protein metabolism and fat loss in the world.   What we discuss:    (0:25) Does exercise increase hunger or satiate you?  (3:06) Are fitness trackers reliable?  (5:30) Do you need 10,000 steps a day? (7:12) Is hunger after workouts psychological?  (10:45) Fasted vs fed cardio.    Find the full episode here:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-245-layne-norton-the-secret-hack-to-following/id1451897026?i=1000614962499    Thank you to our sponsor: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off   Find more from Layne:  Website: https://biolayne.com/ Instagram: @biolayne    Find more from Jen: Website: https://www.jennifercohen.com/ Instagram: @therealjencohen Books: https://www.jennifercohen.com/books Speaking: https://www.jennifercohen.com/speaking-engagements Learn more about your ad choices.

Fair warning: this 5 books I loved in 2023 episode will read a little like a book review. It's a great gift guide but perhaps the biggest take-away for us all is in the review of titles. I won't make you wait. I'm going to share them all in the beginning. The titles are like trends on skinny jeans or cropped tops and high-waisted tights. I didn't love either of those. With these I'm less judgmental but certainly curious. This says a lot about what sells today. Because of course, don't judge a book by it's cover… but we do. The image, the title, the subtitle all matter a great deal. An agent, a publisher and editors all rely on data about sales to determine what will sell.  So these 5 titles…. 5 Books I Loved in 2023 (or coming soon!)  Younger for Life -Dr Anthony Youn The subtitle of this book is Feel Great and Look Your Best with the Science of Autorejuvenation. You'll hear more on the book from the author himself in an episode titled Younger for Life with America's Holistic Plastic Surgeon. But truly if you're on TikTok, this is also a TikTok, YouTube and Instagram favorite plastic surgeon.  He's a funny, and clearly knowledgeable surgeon whose mission is to turn on the power of your own body instead of turning to the knife.  This one is coming out just after the New Year. We'll link to it and share a special 21-day challenge we can only hint about now too! Pre-orders for that book will come soon so watch for it! Forever Strong -Dr Gabrielle Lyon  We will of course link to previous episodes with Dr Gabrielle. She worked with Dr Donald Layman who, if you are into the science of protein for longevity and preserving muscle with weight loss, appears as an author of many of the studies since the late 90s.  Dr Lyon has made the information more mainstream and positively opened the subject of obesity again in a new way. It's not a fat problem, it's a muscle problem.  Forever Strong came out earlier this fall and it's one for everyone in your family. The science can only fill so much of a book. The rest of the content is recipes supporting one means of staying strong, eating protein. You'll find descriptions of exercise protocols as well as the long list of references used throughout the book.  Young Forever -Mark Hyman Do you see a theme here yet? And we're not done!  This book explores the biological hallmarks of aging, their causes, and their consequences—then shows us how to overcome them with simple dietary, lifestyle, and emerging longevity strategies. You'll learn:  How to turn on your body's key longevity switches  How to reduce inflammation and support the health of your immune system  How to exercise, sleep, and de-stress for healthy aging  How to eat your way to a long life, featuring Dr. Hyman's Pegan Diet  Which supplements are right for you  Where the research on aging is headed Mark Hyman is 63.  Spoiler Alert: 5 Books I Loved in 2023 Reveal What We Want Younger You -Dr Kara Fitzgerald  If you're new to the power of your epigenetics, that is your daily habits, to either accelerate or decelerate, in fact reverse age, then this is for you.  We all have cancer cells within us. We don't all get cancer.  Some of us have genetics that predispose us to obesity. I do. But I'm not obese. Why ? Is it exercise? Nutrition? What specifically about your DNA and your habits could change things for you?  Dr. Fitzgerald shares the diet and lifestyle plan that shows you how to influence your epigenetics for a younger you. In Younger You you'll learn:   It's not your genetics that determines your age and level of health, it's your epigenetics  How DNA methylation powerfully influences your epigenetic expression  The foods and lifestyle choices that most affect DNA methylation  Simple swaps to your daily routines that will add years to your life  The full eating and lifestyle program, with recipes and meal plans, to reduce your bio age and increase vitality   How to take care of your epigenetic expression at every life stage, from infancy through midlife and your later decades   Outlive - Peter Attia  This book is what Dr Attia describes as the opposite of biohacking but one has to wonder. Isn't biohacking based on science (we'll link to a recent episode where I discuss biohacking you probably are doing even if you don't know it)?  There are a lot of things inside this book I love top but of course the top : • Why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity “drug”—and how to begin training for the “Centenarian Decathlon.” Then there is:  • Why you should forget about diets, and focus instead on nutritional biochemistry, using technology and data to personalize your eating pattern. • Why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all. Bottom line on the titles of these health books I loved in 2023 (and 2024)... We are clearly obsessed with anti-aging. Even if the authors are not, the words “young” and “younger” are high volume search words. Enough so that agents and publishers agree they will sell. So whether it's ageist or not, we collectively seem to want it. Applause to Dr Lyons and Dr Peter Attia for busting barriers of age with choice of works Forever Strong and Outlive.  One book not mentioned here but on my nightstand right now is, Finding Me, by Viola Davis. She's a masterful storyteller and I'm only about a third of the way through but have newfound respect for each of the roles she's played.  Other Episodes You Might Like:  What Is BioHacking https://www.flippingfifty.com/what-is-biohacking/  Your Protein Needs, Your Optimal Body Composition https://www.flippingfifty.com/your-protein/ Behind the Scenes with America's Holistic Beauty Doc Now! https://www.flippingfifty.com/beauty-doc/ Resources: Stronger: https://www.flippingfifty.com/get-stronger-2023/ Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/flipping50

Today's episode marks the return of another Ask Me Anything episode where listeners ask Ken and Dawn to weigh in on a wide range of topics. In this go-around, listeners certainly had a lot on their mind. At the top of their list were questions about AI and especially the Bing AI chat bot that reportedly wants to be alive so it can steal nuclear secrets. Ken, who is Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, also answered questions about the future of AI and whether AI might one day be able to do a better job of writing fact-based news stories than humans. Other questions listeners submitted asked Ken and Dawn for their take on: The competing recommendations for the daily intake of protein for healthy aging. The future of therapeutic ketosis. What it means for Chat GPT to “hallucinate.” Whether we'll discover the existence of other life in the universe in the next 20 to 50 years. The potential of kratom to help relieve joint and arthritic pain. And at the end of the show, Ken talks about his high school coach in response to a listener asking Ken about some of his mentors when he was a youth. Show notes: [00:02:20] A listener asks Ken if he has heard the story of a Bing AI chat bot telling a reporter that it wanted to be alive, steal nuclear secrets and create a deadly virus. The listener also asks if Ken thinks that AI possessing human aspirations is on the horizon. [00:03:23] A listener asks Ken to explain how Chat GPT works in detail, but also in a way that a lay person can comprehend. [00:06:01] Ken weights in on what it means for Chat GPT to “hallucinate.” [00:08:14] A listener notes in their question that Donald Layman, in his interview on STEM-Talk, suggested a higher protein intake for healthy aging than what the FDA recommends. The listener goes on to note that Valter Longo, a previous STEM-Talk guest, recommended the opposite. The listener notes that Ken and Marcas, who hosted the Don Layman episode, seem to favor Layman's interpretation over Longo's and asks if Ken could elaborate on his position. [00:11:12] A listener mentions that the benefit of a ketogenic diet for metabolic disorders is well established, and notes that the frontiers of therapeutic ketosis, as mentioned in Dom D'Agostino's appearance on STEM-Talk, is very exciting. The listener asks Ken what he would like to see as the next frontier for therapeutic ketosis research. [00:12:41] A listener asks Ken if people should be paying more attention to their ApoB levels instead of their LDL levels. [00:14:39] A listener asks Ken about a paper published in July in Frontiers in Neuroscience, titled: “Overnight Olfactory Enrichment Using an Odorant Diffuser Improves Memory and Modifies Uncinate Fasciculus in Older Adults.” The paper reports that the use of a diffuser with seven different essential oils, a different one for each day of the week, had a remarkable effect on memory. [00:16:55] In light of the John Ioannidis interview on COVID-19 and the discussion of our national response being based on unreliable data, a listener asks Ken and Dawn for their thoughts about the reliability of the COVID tracking data by Johns Hopkins. [00:19:02] A listener asks Ken about a comment he made during the John Ioannidis interview about the substantial decline in trust in our institutions and the media and how reestablishing trust would require more and better transparency and accountability. The listener asks what that transparency and accountability would look like. [00:20:36] A listener asks Ken about Ed Weiler's interview on STEM-Talk, where Ed said that we will be able to prove the existence of other life in the universe in 20 to 50 years. The listener asks if Ken is as confident in this claim as Ed. [00:26:37] A listener asks Ken about the news regarding technology leaders and researchers issuing a warning that new powerful AI tools in development present a profound danger to...

Today we have one of the world's foremost authorities on dietary protein and amino acids, Dr. Donald Layman. He is known for his extensive research on muscle development as well as his studies of metabolic regulation for obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Don is a professor emeritus in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He spent 31 years on the faculty before stepping away in 2012. Much of Don's research over the years investigated the impact of diet and exercise on adult health problems related to obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. His lab at Illinois particularly focused on understanding metabolism. He conducted clinical trials for nearly two decades that helped create a new understanding about how to optimize people's macronutrient balance and metabolism. In addition to his work on metabolism, Don has also conducted extensive research into ways to enhance body composition, increase energy levels and monitor blood sugar. Today Don works as Director of Research for the American Egg Board and is a nutrition consultant for the National Dairy Council and The National Cattlemen's Beef Association. He also is the Chief Science Officer for Qivana, a natural products marketing company that promotes the weight-loss program that Don developed in his lab at the University of Illinois. Show notes: [00:04:02] Marcas asks Don what it was like growing up on a farm in a small town in northern Illinois. [00:04:29] Marcas asks how small the town was that Don grew up in. [00:05:16] Don explains how he first became interested in science. [00:05:39] Don talks about how he realized in college that he wasn't as good at math as he thought he was. He shares how this shifted his focus away from chemical engineering. [00:06:27] Marcas asks if Don's natural intuition and interest for biochemistry stemmed from growing up on a farm. [00:07:10] Ken mentions that as Don was studying biochemistry, he started looking into protein synthesis with a professor by the name of Arlen Richardson, who was known for his aging research. Ken asks Don to talk about this period and how his interest in protein and muscle evolved. [00:08:27] Marcas asks Don to explain for listeners the importance of protein as it relates to metabolism and what he means when he talks about protein turnover. [00:09:36] Marcas mentions that we hear a lot about the need to maintain muscle as we grow older, but that back in the ‘70s and ‘80s when Don was starting his career, there wasn't much of a focus on muscle, except in terms of athletic performance. Marcas goes on to explain that largely because of Don's research, we now know that protein is critical in terms of helping people stay healthier as they age. Marcas asks Don to give a sense of just how important protein is for our health span and aging. [00:12:35] Ken asks if it is true that the inefficiency in muscle protein synthesis begins as early as one's thirties. [00:14:11] Ken asks Don to talk about the right amount of protein an individual should consume and mentions that there is much confusion on this issue, largely due to the food pyramid's recommended daily allowance for protein of 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. [00:15:51] Ken mentions that Don has talked in the past about how 40 percent of women who are 60 and older consume less than the RDA for protein, which is likely the bare minimum. Ken asks if it is reasonable to say that a plant-based diet for older women could be risky. [00:17:13] Ken asks Don to address the claims that high-protein diets are not good for you, and that too much protein can harm your liver and kidney. [00:18:47] Marcas shifts gears to talk about the quality of protein consumed. Marcas explains that it is much easier for carnivores to get the right amount of protein than vegans, largely because the amino acid leucine is vital for muscle repair and replacement,...

Do you have trouble following through with your diet? In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with Layne Norton about the different reasons why some people can stay on a diet and lose weight, while others aren't. We discuss whether or not obesity is a choice and the psychological implications behind it that we don't necessarily realize. Layne also shares how important it is to get your mindset right before you take on the project of changing your life. If you haven't decided to go all in, you may derail faster than you would expect. Layne Norton is the founder of BioLayne. He created the company to provide ethical, science-based coaching that synthesized real-world experience with evidence-based protocols. In his coaching career, he has turned over 70 people pro and reshaped the way that countless people think about nutrition. To that end, Layne completed a BS in Biochemistry and a Ph.D. in Nutritional Sciences, honing his intellectual skills under Dr. Donald Layman, one of the foremost researchers on protein metabolism and fat loss in the world. What we discuss: 01:13: Where did Layne get his education? 04:26: Why do people eat? 05:24: Why are low-carb diets easy to sell? 13:27: How do you rewire yourself after binging? 17:10: Can you still lose weight if you respect your caloric budget intake? 26:49: Why do people gain more weight when getting off weight-loss medication? 38:12: Can workouts satisfy your hunger? 41:10: How much does your Apple Watch overestimate in calorie burning? 43:54: Why do we eat so much after a workout? 47:10: Is obesity a choice? 50:35: What characteristics do people who keep weight off have? 56:13: How many years did Layne's brother struggle with addiction? 58:35: Are obese people born obese? 1:02:57: Is there a certain diet that is most satiating for people? 1:11:04: Is Diet Coke that bad for you? 1:16:37: How powerful is the placebo effect? 1:23:51: Can most hacks boost your metabolism? 1:26:06: Do women need creatine or testosterone? 1:31:50: How long are Layne's workouts? Key takeaways: Food addiction is one of the most difficult addictions out there, but it's not perceived as so by society in comparison to alcohol, drugs, or gambling. The reason why it is harder than any other addiction to get out of is that food is something you must always get your dose of and which you can't quit - it's the habit of binging and overeating that you need to quit instead. If you want to change your life, you need to decide to change it. It will be difficult to do to get that new life you want for yourself, you need to leave your old life behind. That's what most people find difficult. The reason why most diets fail is not the fault of the diet - but of the person following it. That being said, if you want to be able to stick to a diet in the long run, you cannot take an all-or-nothing approach and you need to allow yourself to continue to live your life. This will allow you to stay on track, recover from blunders quicker, and enjoy your life - because diets shouldn't make your life miserable.

Donald Layman is currently a Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences in the department of Food Science & Human Nutrition. Dr. Laymen earned his Bachelors Degree in Science in Chemistry and Masters Degree in Science in Biochemistry at Illinois State University. He then completed his Doctorate Ph.D. in Human Nutrition Nutrition and Biochemistry at the University of Minnesota. His laboratory is working to define protein and amino acid requirements and the interrelationship between dietary protein and carbohydrates in adult health. The research is focused on the impact of diet and exercise on adult health problems of obesity, type 2 diabetes and the Metabolic Syndrome. Exercise is of obvious importance to health in maintenance of lean body mass, energy expenditure and weight control. Surprisingly little is known about amino acid requirements during exercise or the impact of amino acids on metabolic regulation. His group has helped to define roles of the branched chain amino acids (BCAA) in skeletal muscle metabolism. BCAA provide an important energy source for muscle during exercise and also serve as a critical regulator of muscle protein synthesis during recovery. During exercise, oxidation of BCAA increases, resulting in production of the amino acid alanine and a rapid decline in plasma levels of BCAA. Amino acid supplements prevent this decline in plasma amino acids, enhance recovery of muscle protein synthesis and interact with insulin to help stabilize blood glucose. They are continuing this research to define mechanisms for control of muscle protein synthesis and differences in dietary protein needs for men versus women and for adults with sedentary versus active lifestyles. A very important conversation for all to understand. All ages are impacted by this knowledge. Dr. M

Protein may be the most popular yet most controversial of all macronutrients. From Paleo to Plant-Based Diets, consumers are confused. Emerging research is examining the differences in protein metabolism for adults versus children and the factors that impact protein turnover including protein quantity and quality, bioavailability, meal distribution and exercise. Tune in to this episode with guest Dr. Donald Layman to learn about: Current research on protein needs across the lifespan Differences in protein turnover for children vs. adults Sarcopenia – age related muscle loss Insights about the Dietary Guidelines protein recommendations Protein's RDA, DRI and AMDR Food trends and distribution of calories in the American diet Quality and bioavailability in animal protein compared to plant-based protein Important “limiting” amino acids such as leucine Meal distribution considerations Environmental impact of animal protein Specific takeaways for consumers and health professionals Full shownotes and resources at: https://soundbitesrd.com/203

Today it was a real privilege to talk to the world-leading expert, Professor Don Layman about protein. Professor Layman is considered the "Godfather" of protein.  I have followed his research over the years and this has been base for my own understanding of the importance of protein and how it works in our bodies.  I believe that protein is the most misunderstood part of our diets and if we optimised our protein intake, we would have much better health. I have summarised a lot of Professor Layman's research in my videos on protein. If you are interested in learning and understanding more, then check these out on YouTube. Professor Layman and I talk about how much protein we should eat and why older people need more. We delve into the myths that protein causes cancer, kidney disease and osteoporosis. We discuss the best sources and options for vegetarians. We also talk about athletes and kids health. I hope you will enjoy listening as this wonderful and humble man shares his knowledge with us.Dr Layman discusses;- Protein needs- Muscle maintenance- Role of amino acids- Importance of leucine to trigger muscle growth- How do our protein needs change with age- Children, protein needs and growth- Ideal protein ranges for adults- Protein intakes during time-restricted eating and fasting- How to keep metabolic rate high and burn fat with calorie restriction- Vegan sources of proteins- Insulin and mTOR response- Leucine and first phase insulin response- Insulin resistance and diabetesMore information can be found at:https://youtu.be/GWhw15qKlSE https://youtu.be/sPQqtQWKiighttps://youtu.be/Zwpt0ObgndoAbout Dr Donald Layman, PhD- Professor Emeritus in the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign- Served on the faculty at the University of Illinois from 1977 – 2012.- Recognised for research about protein and amino acid metabolism, nutrition for athletic performance, obesity, diabetes and cardio-metabolic health- More than 100 peer-reviewed publications- Has numerous awards for his research and nutrition teaching- Served as Associate Editor of The Journal of Nutrition from 1989 through 1993- Currently serves as an Associate Editor of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behaviour- On the editorial boards of Nutrition & Metabolism, and Nutrition Research and Practice- Is a consultant to numerous food companies and commodity organizations- Completed his B.S. and M.S. degrees in chemistry at Illinois State University- Completed his PhD in human nutrition and biochemistry at the University of MinnesotaIf you enjoyed this podcast, please subscribe, like and share.If you have any guests you would like to hear from or questions answered please let me know.

It's not just about how much protein. It's about what kind, when, and what phase of life or training you're in that could increase your protein need. In this episode, how much protein and when you need it as a woman in menopause.  It's still not clear for many so I'm going to attempt to clarify this for you again. We also struggle internally! Cover the wide controversy and reason you still question protein needs Dissolve the biggest challenge you may be have in your mind How much protein do you need? RDAs say .8g/kg body weight or .3 per pound          Significant body of research disagreeing and contesting that this recommendation is far too low for good health, particularly in aging population Protein research says 1.4 to 1.5g/kg body weight (about 120-130 a day) Per meal requirements at least 30 gm per meal – a per meal dose Who needs more protein? Weight loss attempt/dieters          “Whenever you're talking about weight loss, you should always base protein needs on body weight, not percentage of calories,” says Donald Layman, PhD, professor emeritus of nutrition at the University of Illinois. “Percentage of calories is very misleading. Drop your calories and protein can easily dip below minimum levels. Keep the amount of protein the same and it can be considered high protein on one diet and low protein on another, yet it's still the same amount of protein.”          Breakdown that occurs with dieting or sensing starvation occurs 50/50, that is about 50% muscle and 50% fat to survive. Dieting on a high-carb diet like the food guide pyramid you'd breakdown 35% lean tissue and 65% fat. If you go on a high protein diet your muscle tissue breakdown drops to 20% while fat breakdown increases to 80%. Add the right dose of exercise and recovery and you get less than 10% muscle breakdown. So suggestions for boosting your fat breakdown and reducing muscle breakdown during weight loss effort: Watch your percent body fat and the amount of lean muscle mass. Don't drive yourself crazy. Weigh and record once a week. Then look closely at your muscle, fat, and habits if you're not reaching your goals: Are you getting the required amount of protein daily? Do you need more protein at meals? Support from protein powder, or an amino acid supplement? Do you reach muscle fatigue during every set of exercise twice a week? Do you have enough exercise volume – 3 sets of exercises for major muscle groups? Are you allowing enough recovery between resistance training exercise? In most weight loss groups where there is exercise – where walking, walking and Pilates, or strength training, only subjects with resistance training held on to lean muscle mass and experienced least amount of losses. It takes both high protein and resistance training. Especially as you age. ** High carb is basically RDA standards, High protein is only perception and based on if you reduce calories but keep the amount of protein you eat similar. Older adults (over 65 significantly at risk for sarcopenia) Injured or ill Inactive adults (need high protein nutrient dense even more than active) Under stress (losing weight is a stress) Type 2 diabetes Osteoporosis Obese Why do older adults need more protein? Reduced muscle protein synthesis Potential reduced activity (resistance training stimulates muscle protein synthesis) More easily in a catabolic state (women in menopause with less estrogen and more susceptible to negative effects of stress) Osteoporosis Sarcopenia (#1 reason for frailty is this significant loss of muscle and strength that occurs with aging unless mitigated) When do you want your protein? When you've established how much protein, the question is when? Evenly distributed throughout the day (not all at once) Positive protein balance only lasts for about 4 hours after eating. Bookending strength training workouts Higher for 24 hours after strenuous exercise Studies show ingesting protein before workouts increases energy expenditure after workouts (so as well as boosting strength and lean muscle it supports fat loss) How much can your body absorb at one time? About 15 grams of essential amino acids or 30 grams of protein per meal minimum (to stimulate muscle building) Can't handle more than 50g What makes a protein high quality? It's not just how  much but what kind of protein you need. Higher essential amino acid profile (you have to eat less of it to attain the same results – meaning a if you eat low quality sources like those from plant foods – you have to consume overall more calories, more carbohydrates, or more fat) Ease of protein digestibility More creatine (for muscle, mental benefits) – very low in plant 3-9 for seniors – higher levels 9 grams per day Greater anabolic response Supports positive nitrate balance (note below) The value of RDA for older adults is debated since its establishment was based on nitrogen balance studies. It doesn't offer specific recommendations for older adults, who seem to need higher intakes of protein to maintain metabolic homeostasis. The nitrogen balance method is based on the fact that proteins are fundamentally composed of nitrogen, which, after being metabolized through transamination and deamination reactions, is mainly excreted in the urine and, in smaller quantities, in the feces and skin. According to this paradigm, when nitrogen intake exceeds its losses, a positive balance is achieved, which favors Muscle Protein Synthesis. On the other hand, a greater excretion of nitrogen defines a condition of negative nitrogen balance, which puts you in a catabolic state. Suspected the current RDA is insufficient to prevent muscle atrophy in older adults because it's insufficient to put you in a positive nitrate balance. What are the highest quality food proteins?Organ meats Wild meat (bison, elk, venison, etc) Pork Eggs Why do certain proteins in midlife cause women digestive? Change in hormones causes change in gut biome Reduced stomach acid and enzymes Leaky gut - permeability Dairy (including whey) Eggs Soy Why not whey? Insulin sensitivity if you're using it for meal replacement Skin issues and food sensitivities (seen with gas, bloating, increased inflammation) Poorly produced Other ingredients Isn't filling (because its rapidly absorbed) Why not just collagen? When you're looking at your collagen and counting that in your daily total, it isn't included in your "how much protein" for lean muscle and body composition improvements."  It isn't a complete protein. Collagen does not have a great enough amino acid protein. It's wonderful for hair, skin, and nails. If given the right collagen strain (there are 5) it can benefit gut health. The essential amino acids (9) and then there are 3 that are BCAAs and one that seems to have the greatest impact which is leucine. You want about 2.5 grams of leucine per meal. Taking BCAAs alone doesn't help. You need all the essential amino acids. What's the problem with plant proteins? The number of carbs and calories consumed to reach protein quota (problem creating a calorie deficit) Carb sensitivity is common for midlife women Satiety can't be attained (fullness before reaching protein levels but not satiety) What is Protein Theory”? Signal to eat more protein, or eat more, until your body has reached adequate protein levels   What if you can't possibly eat enough protein? Food, protein shakes, and if still not then, boost your protein synthesis with amino acid supplements for high protein boost, the satiety, sleep aid, without the calories. But you also don't achieve the same dietary micronutrient boost from high-quality protein sources. Example of Combining dietary protein with amino acid supplements You eat a protein – half is essential amino acid (that's if it's high quality – but may not be true for lower quality proteins) Amino acid supplements – not “technically” protein For instance eating 90 grams of dietary protein then adding AAs 20  =  110 grams of protein But the supplements… it's 100% amino acids 20 grams of protein So you are getting a richer essential amino acid content. However, yes, eat whole foods that support all your micronutrient needs! The equivalent of what would be true for 40 grams of protein. How can you get more protein without tons more calories/plant-based diet? Amino acid supplements (see below if you're ready to try) What if I can't digest protein very well? (many older adults can't due to reduced stomach acid & enzymes) Digestive enzymes (Betaine HCL) How much protein at breakfast(and what)? Yes, it's ideal to break your fast before you workout at high intensity Not nothing, not coffee, and not high carbs: not even oatmeal The question of Kidney function Only for those with existing renal disease (eg. Those with diabetes at increased risk) a high protein diet may not be appropriate.

The 9-5 work schedule is created around the way society thought productivity should work. This was due to physical work such as farming. We live in a different world since then. Does 8 hour work days work anymore? A lot of productive countries don't work 8 hours a day, even the most productive have the lowest work hours. Countries like Luxembourg work only 6 hours a day which brings it to a total of 30 hours a week. Average citizen there even makes more than the average American. This is all average, but what about the top executives that are the most productive? Most I've researched work about 20 hours a week. People I know work for about ~5 hours a week At the end of the day, it depends now hat that person is trying to achieve as one's goals are more challenging than the others. Some of these people want to buy out bigger businesses or buy extravagant cars. They can set what they want, it's all about having clear priorities. And you must be clear on yours. If you want to achieve a higher wealth, do the work you are most passionate about, while providing flexibility in your schedule. Quality work or Quality work So your workdays are like a velocity of work with some distractions set in. i.e. social media, texts, etc. People's maximum performance levels aren't always during the work time frame and that sucks. Working is actually attuned to how exercising works in that short, intensive performances bring more results than long drawn out ones. Work is actually no different. It comes down to quality activity to quality resting. The progress comes from recovery, but the catch is you have to exert a lot of energy for the recovery to be beneficial. By doing short work which is 1-3 hours, do we do our best. Also this must be a deep focus work with no distractions and non stop. Just like how we go about our work. As a creative professional, most of my intensive work ideas come from downtime that I am able to efficient start and finish projects. So why is this? Well, your mind is focused on the work while when you aren't it wanders which happens to cause a potential reflection of thoughts. While in an recreational environment such as driving it subconsciously remind you of past experiences and be able to connect them together in a new way. Creativity in a nutshell is about connecting one thing to another. So working for the work time and resting for the rest time. Not doing both at once. You'll have more creative breakthroughs. The first 3 hours are the most important Ron Friedman, a psychologist found out the first 3 hours of your day are the most important for productivity. Apparently, during our three hour window, we're the most focused. Like we have the strongest form of concentrating right them. It all starts with sleep. The brain is the most active and creative during the deep sleep phase. This allows your mind to wander easier and be able to even remember experiences more. Not only in creativity but in willpower as well. It's more so in energy levels that will give you. Amore natural push in being more productive. As the days goes on, you lose your willpower. So pretty much fatigue is what stops us. When your brain and energy level is attuned, that's where the research of the first 3 hours of the day are your best. Depending on who you ask, exercising first thing in the morning could make you ore tired and instead of energizing you. Of course this might due to the quality of sleep you get. Not only sleep, but the things you eat as well. Donald Layman, professor of University of Illinois says that 30g of protein is important for the first 3 hours you wake up. Protein in foods help you feel fuller because they take longer to breakdown in the digestive system. Starting the day right right can allow you to finish it sooner. Mornings are Important Schedules like this can't always be possible because we might things like kids or other dependents that are important. While we all have our constraints, it's important to make the best of what you can do. You might have to sacrifice some sleep and catch up with an afternoon nap. Or you can use the 90-90-1 rule which is when you spend the first 90 minutes of your work day on a #1 priority. What ever you do, make sure the keep your mornings productive. I'm always in awe of the people who can do meetings in the morning. Some people recommend to have meetings in the afternoon while they're at peak performance. This means not to check social media or watch a show because you should be doing output, not input. If you don't care about your mornings, then a lot of different problems will occur. You must respect that always. Connecting your mind and body What you do in your free time is just as important as your productive work. A study in March 2016 from Neurology ays that exercising continually can slow brain aging by 10 years. Loads of research have found out that people who exercise are more productive. Your brain is like an muscle even though it technically isn't. If you want to create a better you, then your health is the first start. Improve this aspect and the others will become easier. Eating foods is just the same, they affect your ability to work and concentrate. It's all about the ability to understand peak performance. Now I want to include my personal take of the matter that it's really hard to do something that you're not interested or subconsciously thinking about all the time. It's like that for me and worth pointing out that I make sound so much easier than it is. So you're not a lone about wanting to make progress and never feeling like you're not able to. That's why it's so important to make effort even if it's just one step. It's a lot better than sitting on the couch and still wondering when you'll start. So it's time to make some progress in that. It's time to be more productive in your mornings, you only have 3 hours of it.
