On this eye-opening episode of Vitality Radio, Jared breaks down the part of the supplement label most people ignore: other Ingredients. While active ingredients get all the attention, it's often the excipients—binders, fillers, flow agents, coatings, and colorants—that determine whether your supplement is truly clean and effective. Jared exposes why manufacturers use these "inactive" ingredients, how they impact product quality, and which common additives you should avoid. You'll learn how to read this overlooked section of your supplement label and become an informed, empowered consumer.Additional Information:#525: Decoding Supplement Fact Panels and Becoming a More Informed ConsumerOther Ingredients Breakdown Blog PostVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

This week on Heart Doc VIP, Dr. Joel Kahn breaks down a new study out of New Zealand examining whether vegans are getting enough of two key amino acids: leucine and lysine. Using real-world dietary histories, researchers found no health issues among participants—but the debate around plant-based protein continues. Dr. Kahn dives into top plant-based sources of these essential aminos (think beans, soy, quinoa), and why the ongoing conversation around protein needs and sources matters more than ever. Plus, he shares insights from three more new studies you won't want to miss: Updates on the KETO-CT study New data on healthy plant diets in African-Americans Surprising benefits of adding just one more fruit or veggie to your day The impact of low-carb eating once or twice a week The crucial role of Vitamin D in cancer prevention As always, thanks to this week's sponsor: Endur.com, makers of MegaNatural-BP.

I am delighted to reconnect with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon today! She is a dear friend and a physician whose work has profoundly impacted my own work, particularly during the past few years. She previously appeared on the podcast in episode 95 about three years ago. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is a highly respected functional medicine provider, the founder of the Institute for Muscle-centric Medicine, a nationally recognized speaker and media contributor, and the author of the book Forever Strong. In our conversation, we dive into areas where confusion often clouds our understanding of protein intake. We explore the distinctions between commodities and consumer packaged goods and the impact of sarcopenia and other muscle-related changes that affect women during perimenopause and menopause. Our discussion also goes into the hallmarks of aging, uncovers the critical importance of a specific protein threshold to initiate muscle protein synthesis, and examines the role of food matrices and Leucine thresholds, misconceptions surrounding carbohydrates, and the most effective methods for tracking muscle mass. Additionally, we explore the connections between poor metabolic health and cognitive decline, making this conversation exceptionally relevant and informative. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lyon's forthcoming book coming out in early October. Her work has played a significant role in shaping my personal and professional life and had a profound impact on many of my female patients and clients. I am confident that you will find today's show with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon as enlightening and valuable as I do. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Where did the confusion around the proper intake of protein originate? Physiological changes that occur in women as they age How hormonal changes during midlife lead to muscle loss and insulin resistance, which can contribute to aging What is insulin resistance? How unhealthy skeletal muscle leads to low energy efficiency and metabolic implications. The importance of protein for women's health How carbohydrates impact our metabolic health The impact of intermittent fasting on muscle health What is skeletal muscle and how does it affect our health? The interconnectedness between skeletal muscle, obesity, and cognitive decline The benefits of D3 Creatine supplementation Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect With Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Check out her website Connect on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter Her podcast, the Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show Order her book, Forever Strong, on Amazon or her website Previous Episode Mentioned: Episode 95 – Why Muscle Is The Organ Of Longevity – with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon
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.

Everyone knows leucine for muscle growth—but what if I told you that its true power lies in metabolic health, insulin regulation, and even brain function?In this first episode of our Essential Amino Acids Series, we break down:✅ What leucine is and why it's crucial for your body✅ How leucine improves insulin sensitivity and regulates blood sugar✅ The surprising connection between leucine and brain health✅ Foods with the highest leucine content
Today, dietary experts agree on one thing—that protein is the #1 dietary priority to survive (and thrive). Yes, humans need carbs to fuel an energetic life and natural, nutritious fats for hormone and cellular health, but protein is the #1 dietary priority—and this episode will explain why. You will learn exactly why we need sufficient dietary protein and why many people fall short of this goal, why restrictive diets (like fasting, keto, or being plant-based) put you at an automatic disadvantage, why getting enough protein can be a challenge and how to overcome that challenge, and the differences in bioavailability for different proteins—such as beans and rice vs. steak, hamburger, eggs, and the #1 supplement whey (which is vastly superior to unhealthy plant proteins). We also talk about the 9 essential (and 11 non-essential) amino acids and the reason why the essential ones must come from your diet. You will learn about the “Leucine threshold” to trigger muscle protein synthesis, the optimal times to consume protein and how much to eat, and why protein is an integral part of achieving long-term weight loss. I also explain what crash diets that feature low amounts of protein do to your body and metabolism and why the goal is to be in an anabolic or metabolic state, and not a catabolic state. As you will hear, the most important thing is to simply try to raise awareness of where you fall in terms of protein intake, and then prioritize! This dietary strategy will keep you away from indulgent foods and lower nutrient density foods.

We don’t need to meet our target perfectly every day as long as we make it up. [01:00] Many people are believed to be falling short these days on optimal protein consumption because of the popularity of so-called restrictive diets. [03:00] It is difficult to optimize protein because there are not a lot of quick on-the-go snack foods that are high in protein. [05:00] We have to be concerned about the amino acids and getting leucine. [07:00] Sarcopenia is the age-related muscle loss from lack of protein. [11:00] Eating whey is a good way to supplement your need for protein. [12:00] What is the recommendation for sufficient protein intake? Consume one gram per pound of your ideal body weight. [17:00] What is the protein content of an egg? There are 6 grams of protein in the whites whereas the yolk is rich with fat and other nutrients that are difficult to get from other areas of the diet. [22:00] If you are habitually under consuming protein, you will soon develop a disease.

In 2017, The Game Changers documentary caught the attention of millions, sparking a new conversation about plant-based nutrition and athletic performance. Behind its scientific integrity was David Goldman, the film's chief science advisor, who ensured its message was grounded in robust, evidence-based findings. David is a certified specialist in sports nutrition and strength conditioning, with a master's degree in applied physiology and nutrition from Columbia University. He has worked with college, professional, and Olympic athletes, helping them excel through plant-powered strategies. Join us as we explore his latest research, insights, and actionable strategies for optimizing your health and unlocking your potential! “When weight is lost, a whole bunch of things come down, generally, like inflammation, inflammatory markers, for example, like C-reactive protein or your cholesterol will drop. But then when you have people do it with a diet like a carnivore diet that's real, or a keto diet that's really high in saturated fat, you have this competition between weight loss, lowering cholesterol, paired with saturated fat and dietary cholesterol, increasing cholesterol, and so that's where there's this sort of mixed findings on what the effects of these diets are on some of these blood markers. Now, if you were to lose weight on a plant-based diet, it just drops like a rock. You know, you can just drop cholesterol LDL, especially blood pressure, and you can just drop these like crazy. There's no competition. Be in the driver's seat of your own dietary choices for your life. And those are hard decisions you have to make. A lot of those same benefits can come even to greater extents eating plant-based diets.” - David Goldman What we discuss in this episode: - The facts about vitamin B12 supplementation. - Why carnivore and keto diets aren't sustainable, the risks they pose, and why some see short-term results. - David's approach to fostering healthy eating habits in his children. - The connection between plant-based eating and erectile function. - How increasing whole plant foods improves women's sexual health. - The link between plant-based diets and better Covid-19 outcomes. - Ensuring sufficient omega-3 intake on a plant-based diet. - The hidden dangers of estrogen in cow's milk and its effects on health. - Debunking the myths around soy and plant phytoestrogens.

This episode of the Real Science Exchange podcast was recorded during a webinar from Balchem's Real Science Lecture Series.Throughout the last 30 years, the dairy industry has moved to producing highly concentrated versions of milk proteins. In cows' milk, about 80% of the protein is casein and 20% is in the serum or whey phase. These ratios vary by species. There are three major caseins in cows' milk: alpha-S-casein, beta-casein, and kappa-casein. The first two are rich in phosphate for calcium binding. Kappa-casein is critical in a micellar structure that allows these structures to stay suspended in the milk. (1:21)Whey proteins also differ by species. In cows' milk, about 50% of the whey protein is beta-lactoglobulin. It's rich in branched-chain amino acids, and it is not present in human milk so it is a focus of allergy research. Alpha-lactalbumin is found in all mammals and is a cofactor for lactose production. (10:34)Caseins and whey proteins are different from one another and are in completely different classes of proteins. From structure, to size, to amino acid content, to solubility; these two types of proteins are yin and yang. (11:51)When fluid milk or whey is concentrated by removing water, some sugars and other materials dissolve via evaporation or membrane filtration. It results in dried powders, milk protein concentrate, milk protein isolate, whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolates. Concentrates contain 80-85% protein and isolates contain more than 90% protein. (17:14)What's driving the current and probably future popularity of these dairy proteins? One, is their versatility in many food applications, and the other is the superior nutritional quality of the proteins. Nearly half of the milk protein concentrate use is for mainstream nutrition and sports beverages. Similar trends have been observed for whey protein isolates. (20:05)Dairy proteins are very rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) like leucine. BCAAs help initiate protein synthesis, are important for muscle recovery, help with weight loss by maintaining blood glucose levels, are synergistic with exercise, and can promote healthy aging. Dr. Lucey gives several different examples of products utilizing dairy proteins. He predicts that the increased focus on nutrition products, interest in isolating individual proteins and improving export opportunities will continue to drive demand for dairy proteins in the future. (27:21)All of the main milk proteins have genetic variants, which are minor amino acid differences in the same protein. Variants occur at different frequencies among breeds. Beta-casein has two variants, A1 and A2. There is one amino acid difference out of 209 total amino acids, located at position 67 where a histidine is found in variant A1 and a proline is found in variant A2. When histidine is present, the beta-casein is prone to cleavage at position 67, creating a fragment called beta-casomorphin-7 (BCM-7). When proline is present, it hinders the cleavage of casein at position 67. BCM-7 is an exogenous opioid peptide with the potential to elicit opioid activity on a range of tissues and organs. It's known as a “bioactive peptide” and some others from milk and cheese have been implicated as anti-hypertensive. (35:26)In the late 1990s, some researchers claimed that A1 milk was implicated in diabetes, coronary heart disease, autism, and schizophrenia. Subsequent reviews and investigations by significant international bodies found no evidence of these claims. (40:34)In closing, Dr. Lucey answers questions from the webinar audience. He talks about the potential of breeding cows customized for the production of minor milk components, milk components as renewable bio-plastics, and the superiority of milk proteins compared to plant proteins.

Dr. Ben Bikman, a biomedical scientist and professor of cell biology, discusses the phenomenon of anabolic resistance.Anabolic resistance, primarily a problem associated with aging, refers to the reduced ability of muscles to synthesize protein in response to anabolic stimuli, such as protein intake and resistance exercise. This condition leads to a decline in muscle mass and function over time, contributing to a loss of physical capacity, increased risk of falls, and a greater dependency on others for daily living.Dr. Bikman emphasizes the importance of muscle mass for overall health. Beyond physical function, muscle plays a crucial role in metabolic regulation, particularly glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Muscle acts as a “glucose sink,” helping to regulate blood glucose levels and maintain insulin sensitivity. Therefore, maintaining muscle mass is vital for preventing metabolic disorders and enhancing longevity and health span.Anabolic resistance is influenced by various age-related factors, including hormonal changes, reduced physical activity, insufficient protein intake, and chronic illnesses such as insulin resistance. The key intracellular signal involved in muscle protein synthesis is the mTOR1 pathway, which becomes less responsive with age and insulin resistance. Dr. Bikman also discusses the controversial use of rapamycin, a drug promoted by some longevity enthusiasts, which can inhibit mTOR1 and potentially exacerbate anabolic resistance and insulin resistance.To combat anabolic resistance, Dr. Bikman highlights the importance of dietary and exercise interventions. Older adults require higher protein intake, particularly high-quality protein sources rich in leucine, to stimulate muscle protein synthesis effectively. Additionally, resistance exercise is crucial, with a focus on going to muscle fatigue to promote maximal muscle protein synthesis. Dr. Bikman stresses the need for older adults to prioritize resistance exercise over aerobic exercise to maintain muscle mass and function.Dr. Bikman concludes by emphasizing the societal benefits of maintaining muscle mass and combating anabolic resistance. Strong, healthy, and independent individuals contribute to stronger communities and reduced economic burdens. By adopting proper dietary and exercise habits, individuals can improve their muscle health, enhance their quality of life, and increase their longevity.https://www.insuliniq.com 01:08 - Defining Anabolic Resistance02:15 - Impact of Aging on Muscle Protein Synthesis03:15 - Role of Anabolic Stimuli in Muscle Growth05:15 - Risks Associated with Loss of Muscle Mass06:17 - Muscle's Role in Metabolic Health07:19 - Muscle Mass and Longevity10:24 - Age-Related Factors: Hormones and Physical Activity11:10 - Biochemical Signaling and mTOR1 Pathway13:28 - Controversy Around Rapamycin and Longevity15:43 - Rapamycin's Impact on Muscle and Testosterone17:42 - Nutrient Sensing and mTOR1 Activation18:40 - Importance of Leucine in Protein Synthesis19:54 - Hormonal Regulation of mTOR120:55 - Consequences of Anabolic Resistance21:52 - Combating Anabolic Resistance: Dietary Strategies24:05 - Importance of High-Quality Protein Sources26:05 - Role of Resistance Exercise in Combating Anabolic Resistance28:55 - Exercise Protocols for Older Adults30:55 - Importance of Resistance Exercise Over Aerobic Exercise32:55 - Conclusion and Societal Benefits of Muscle HealthReferences:Due to character length constraints, references are not posted here.

Building muscle in horses is a two-stage process. Many horse owners expect results when applying only one factor. This podcast shows that ignoring one of these factors results in poor muscle formation. In the first stage, the key is to prioritize protein in the horse's diet, particularly the amino acid leucine. Leucine, a branch-chain amino acid, plays a pivotal role as a signaling molecule when it attaches to the mTOR receptor on muscle cells. This crucial process alerts the muscle that the necessary materials for muscle building are available. Understanding this, horse owners can better cater to their horse's nutritional needs, knowing that the right protein, high in leucine, is essential for effective muscle formation. Step two is to add exercise to the horse to build muscle fibers. More importantly, this also consumes the excess glucose in the diet. Exercise decreases the need to convert the free amino acids into glucose, thus preserving the pool of recycled amino acids. ********** TheHorsesAdvocate.com is a website for learning about horses, horse barns, and farms.

Here are the supplements I use daily for lean muscle in menopause. And it's made a difference. A big difference. In the recent previous solo episodes on less belly fat, I pointed out that muscle loss is essentially fat gain. My 60th birthday also prompted a mental inventory of well, everything from the major changes in my life and business, and I also looked at my most important moments and happiest memories… and my physical health. So if you didn't listen to the solo last week about how since 50 I gained 4lbs lean muscle and lost 4% body fat… plus a whole swing to bad and back to good again in the middle, listen to that one. How thrilled would I be to do the same from 60 to 70? But I promised in response to questions to answer not just the carefully designed strength programs I use (and share with you) but how I support that with supplements and eating. The Benefits That You Could Get From These Supplements For Lean Muscle in Menopause: The Benefits That You Could Get From These Supplements for Lean Muscle in Menopause: Protein Powder: Protein powder supports muscle repair and recovery, aids in maintaining lean muscle mass, and can contribute to healthy bone density. It is particularly effective in stimulating muscle protein synthesis, crucial for combating age-related muscle loss. [00:07:13] Need a quick list of High Protein Meals I like? Here are 8: https://www.flippingfifty.com/high-protein-recipes Essential Amino Acids (EAAs): EAAs are crucial for muscle protein synthesis, the process by which the body repairs and rebuilds muscle fibers. These amino acids cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained through diet or supplementation. For women over 40, EAAs can significantly support the maintenance of muscle mass, which naturally begins to decline with age. [00:12:37] Creatine: Creatine is well known for its benefits in increasing strength, power output, and muscle mass. It helps regenerate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy carrier in cells, which is crucial for short bursts of power and strength. For women over 40, creatine can help improve muscle mass, cognitive function, and potentially bone density. [00:13:57] Vitamin D: Vitamin D plays a crucial role in bone health by facilitating calcium absorption, which is vital for maintaining strong bones. It also supports muscle function and has been linked to improved immune system health. [00:15:42] Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, which can benefit muscle recovery and joint health. They also play a critical role in cardiovascular health and cognitive function. For women over 40, incorporating Omega-3s can help mitigate the risks of chronic diseases and support overall well-being. [00:16:15] Magnesium: Magnesium is vital for muscle function, supporting relaxation and reducing cramps. It also plays a key role in energy production, bone health, and maintaining a healthy nervous system. For women over 40, magnesium can help improve sleep quality, a common challenge during menopause. [00:18:18] Collagen: Collagen is crucial for skin elasticity, joint health, and the integrity of connective tissues. Supplementing with collagen can support skin hydration and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, which may be more pronounced post-menopause. It also plays a role in bone and muscle health, potentially aiding in the prevention of age-related muscle loss and bone density reduction. Many women supplementing with collagen report reduced joint stiffness and increased healing time in the event of injury. [00:20:37] Calcium: Essential for bone health, calcium supports the development and maintenance of strong bones, reducing the risk of osteoporosis. It's also vital for muscle function, nerve signaling, and heart health. [00:23:22] There you have it, supplements for lean muscle in menopause (and beyond). Indirectly, there may be more but these are keys. You've heard me speak about the “extras” I use like c60, Mitopure and these too are indirectly related to recovery, mitochondrial function which boosts capacity for exercise allowing the right exercise to boost the mitochondria more. Other things like matcha and or clean coffee are in my arsenal too. They're daily habits but they contribute to accelerated fat burning, elevated performance during workouts. As you weave through your habits, knowing sleep and gut health are crucial to lean muscle and body composition, you might find betaine HCL, melatonin, or 5 htp is also a key for you. Coming up later this month we're talking about Pelvic Health.

A common theme right now is the "30 gram cheat sheet" as ... 30 grams of protein cheat sheet: 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt 1 cup tempeh 5 oz shrimp (about 10 large shrimp) 1 cup cottage cheese 4 oz chicken (about half of a chicken breast) 5 oz grass-fed steak (slightly larger than a deck of cards) 1 1/2 cups tofu 2 cups black beans 5 oz wild-caught salmon (about one fillet) 5 eggs But do these protein foods have the right balance of essential amino acids as leucine to stimulate muscle protein synthesis? Let's go down a new rabbit hole! https://debbiepotts.net/tips-to-get-your-30-50g-protein-per-meal-to-stimulate-mps/ https://debbiepotts.net/plant-based-protein-vs-animal-based-protein-powders/ https://www.wellandgood.com/protein-cheat-sheet/ https://debbiepotts.net/why-you-need-to-focus-on-muscle-health-as-you-age-not-just-vo2-max/ Leucine is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis. 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt: Yes, Greek yogurt typically contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per serving. 1 cup tempeh: Yes, tempeh usually contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per cup. 5 oz shrimp: Yes, shrimp contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 5 oz serving. 1 cup cottage cheese: Yes, cottage cheese generally contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per cup. 4 oz chicken: Yes, chicken breast usually contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 4 oz serving. 5 oz grass-fed steak: Yes, steak typically contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 5 oz serving. 1 1/2 cups tofu: Yes, tofu usually contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 1 1/2 cup serving. 2 cups black beans: No, black beans do not typically contain enough leucine to meet the 2.5-3 gram threshold. They contain around 1.8 grams of leucine per cup. 5 oz wild-caught salmon: Yes, salmon typically contains around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 5 oz serving. 5 eggs: Yes, eggs usually contain around 2.5-3 grams of leucine per 5 egg serving.
Leucine had a good run. It's been nearly two decades at the top, with the result being that even a casually aware meat head can explain that the muscle building quality of a protein source is tied, at least in part, to its leucine content and that you should probably consume high leucine content proteins and roughly spread protein feedings evenly throughout your day. Further, if you just so happen to run into a full blown evidence-based meat head in the wild, be ready for them to start throwing phrases at you at like “muscle protein synthesis”, “leucine trigger”, and “refractory period.” But, times are changing. A recent systematic review is casting doubt on the relationship between leucine and muscle protein synthesis. Now they're saying leucine is done, saying leucine has no chance. Is that true? Join us in this episode as we do a deep dive on this new paper, what it means, and how to reconcile mechanistic and applied data when they seem to diverge.

In this informative video, Richard Smith, Sara Davies and Coach Stephen address the question of whether there is a nutritional difference between beef protein isolate and whey protein. They discuss the issue of whey intolerance and recommend beef protein powder as a good alternative for those who cannot tolerate whey. They explain that while beef isolate is highly bioavailable, it is absorbed quickly and doesn't stay in the body for long. However, it is a good clean option for those who cannot tolerate whey. The speakers also touch on the topic of protein intake for bodybuilding purposes and provides insight into the optimal amount of protein and leucine needed for muscle building and maintenance.Timestamps:0:00 - Introduction0:07 - Difference between beef protein isolate and whey protein0:38 - Absorption rate of beef protein isolate1:14 - Nutritional profile of beef isolate1:45 - Number of meals for bodybuilding1:50 - Optimal protein per meal for muscle building2:10 - Gluconeogenesis and protein consumption2:45 - Leucine activation of mTOR4:06 - Frequency of mTOR activation for optimal muscle building4:40 - Importance of leucine in muscle activation5:42 - Balance of mTOR and AMPK for muscle growth and cellular repair7:28 - Elevated mTOR and its potential negative effects23:00 - Splitting bodybuilding training sessions25:39 - Importance of muscle eccentric movements31:42 - Balancing strength training and endurance for triathlonThank you so much for listening to my podcast.

The compliance process at pharmaceutical manufacturers is a complicated and prone to errors because many still use paper-based systems to record manufacturing steps.
Muscle protein synthesis (MPS) is the process by which your body builds new muscle proteins. It is a crucial component of muscle growth and repair, particularly in response to activities like resistance training (weightlifting) or other forms of exercise that create muscle damage. The overall goal of muscle protein synthesis is to create a positive protein balance in your muscles, where the rate of protein synthesis exceeds the rate of protein degradation, resulting in muscle growth and repair. Leucine is an essential amino acid, which means that your body cannot produce it on its own and must obtain it from dietary sources. Leucine plays a significant role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis, especially after a workout. Here's how leucine comes into play to stimulate MPS post-workout: Activation of mTOR Pathway: Leucine is known to activate a key signaling pathway in muscle cells called the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) pathway. When leucine levels in the blood increase, mTOR signaling is triggered. mTOR is a central regulator of cell growth, including muscle cells, and it plays a pivotal role in initiating the process of muscle protein synthesis. Initiation of Translation: Within muscle cells, mTOR activation helps initiate the translation phase of protein synthesis. During this phase, the genetic information stored in your DNA is used to build new proteins. Leucine's role in activating mTOR is critical for this translation process, as it helps to increase the assembly of ribosomes and other components necessary for protein production. Enhanced Muscle Protein Synthesis: The activation of mTOR and the subsequent translation phase triggered by leucine lead to an increase in the production of new muscle proteins. This is especially important after resistance exercise because the muscle cells are in a state of heightened sensitivity to the anabolic (muscle-building) effects of leucine. It's worth noting that while leucine is essential for stimulating muscle protein synthesis, it is not the only factor at play. Amino acids from protein sources, as well as other nutrients and hormones, also contribute to the overall MPS process. Consuming a balanced diet with adequate protein and leucine content, along with proper post-workout nutrition, is essential for optimizing muscle growth and recovery. To maximize muscle protein synthesis post-workout, many athletes and bodybuilders consume protein-rich meals or supplements that provide a sufficient amount of leucine, typically within the range of 2-3 grams of leucine per meal or shake, as part of their post-exercise nutrition strategy. This can help ensure that your muscles have the necessary building blocks to repair and grow after intense physical activity. Learn more hereTraining the Female Athlete
I am delighted to reconnect with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon today! She is a dear friend and a physician whose work has profoundly impacted my own work, particularly during the past few years.

HI FRIENDS!
In our previous episode of the Hormone Balance Solution podcast we discuss the vital importance of protein and prioritizing your health in your 40s to prevent chronic disease later in life. (Listen to Part 1 HERE) In part 2 of this conversation on protein I speak to the quality of protein and why it matters, are protein powders a good alternative? and what to look for when choosing a protein powder. I also compare animal and plant based protein and how they measure up when it comes to muscle and metabolism supportive amino acids like Leucine. We'll dive into the importance of leucine, how it's the star of the show when it comes to muscle protein synthesis. And we'll discuss how to track your protein and how having a high-protein breakfast is the best way to shift into an anabolic state. If you want to learn more about what's going to maintain and optimize your health, and how to do your best at preventing chronic disease as you age, subscribe to the podcast for our weekly conversations.

Question: If a person has a hereditary weakness for Branched Chain Amino Acid Catabolism would this impact the type of diet they might choose to loose weight? Should they limit protein if it will increase their need for nutrients like Biotin?What are all the possible cofactors we should consider supplementing to support Leucine catabolism? Short Answer: Metabolizing branched-chain amino acids requires all B vitamins except folate, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and chloride. If you have a genetic impairment in this pathway, then reducing branched-chain amino acid intake and doubling down on cofactors is important during weight loss because the pathway will be stressed more in the catabolic state.

Perfect Aminos Sam says: Hi guys! Like so many others, I have followed you from the early days of CrossFit and remain a loyal follower. I've been a CF gym owner for about 13 years now - 11 years with a "normal" affiliate and the last three as a "seniors only" affiliate - over 100 members ages 55 to 93! My challenges are very different, specificall with diet with these guys. This is generation of some normal "from farm to table eating" and some "margarine over butter believers". Some days my head explodes from the things I learn they believe!. Recently I was challenged by a new athlete with a bevvy of medical conditions. Our first attack with these people is their protein levels. I know was people age their appetite for physical chewing dietary protein wanes so we try to get creative. But this one stumped me. I'm familiar with BCAA's and EAAs but have never used this addition as contributing to dietary protein intake. In other words if someone consumes 10g of EAAs in a powdered supplement form 2-3 times a day, I would not have counted that as 20-30 grams of protein from our dietary goal. Am I wrong? I'm currently being challenged on a supplement created by a local physician called "Perfect Aminos". (link: https://bodyhealth.com/products/perfectaminoxp-drink-powder ) I'd love your read on this. My fear is what I'm hearing them claim is "I'm getting my protein with no calories". Maybe I'm too old school for this new age stuff!

Is Protein Powder something I should supplement with? How is it processed? Does it actually work? I had all these questions too! That is why I reached out to the expert. Today, I am bringing Darcy Haggath, CEO of Gruppo Nutrition and Polar Joe, to talk to us about the production, processing, and science behind protein powder. Gruppo Nutrition is a sports drink company that targets athletes and more recently he launched Polar Joe to expand his fuel-forward philosophy beyond athletes. I personally am a big fan of these products! I have a serving of Polar Joe most days! I asked him to come to the show today to unpack the details on how protein supplements are made, processed, and if they really are a healthy option. When it comes to protein here is what you need to know: Consuming doses of protein has advantages over having small amounts throughout the day. Research shows that when people have a low amount of protein throughout the day, they don't get the same benefits as they do when they have 20-30g doses 3-6 times per day. You need more of it as you get older. When you were 18, you could have 6g of protein and turn on the muscle repair process. As we age, we have a harder time turning triggering that process. As an adult, we need closer to 20-30g doses of protein to trigger muscle repair. Our total protein needs also go up as our body has a more difficult time building muscle. Look for leucine. Leucine is a specific amino acid that is known as the “trigger” protein. It is the one that gets into our muscles and says “Let's start building!” Leucine can be found in dairy products, beef, chicken, eggs, nuts, and soybeans. It is very high in concentration in whey protein powders. Most of us need more protein than we can CONVENIENTLY eat within a day. This is exactly why I am a big fan of supplementing with protein. When choosing a protein powder, look for those that have little added ingredients. If you choose whey protein, choose one that is a “whey isolate” instead of a whey concentrate. For my favorite whey protein powder check out Polar Joe and enter “fuelherawesome” at checkout for 15% off! My personal favorite? Their Match Pro-TEA is where it is at! This combines some of the incredible benefits of matcha with protein powder. I am literally drinking mine as I write this! Are you loving becoming an Empowered Eater?

On this episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, I discussed mitochondrial health with Sara Banta, owner of Accelerated Health Products, a line of natural supplements aimed at balancing your overall health. She is a health coach and biohacker, with her supplements you can bolster your immune system by giving your body everything it is not getting from the food you're eating. Mitochondrial health is critical to the health of your entire body and begins at the cellular level which is why supplements are so important when addressing any health issue. Sara works synergistically with nutrition, lifestyle and her supplements, which focus on frequency enhanced detox that help your body get rid of the toxins overloading your system. Your body is a delicate ecosystem and can easily become dysregulated when exposed to common toxins used in daily life. Your liver is the detoxification pathway of your body and many foods that are staples of a healthy diet may actually be burdening your liver. By conscious eating and adding Sara's dynamic supplements you can expect to see a drastic improvement in overall wellness because whatever your ailment is, rebuilding that cell to cell communication will allow the body to self regulate and heal itself. KEY TAKEAWAYS [2:00] When you improve cell to cell communication your overall health improves [5:00] Sara's journey from rock bottom to fully restored health [7:47] If your immune system is weak it causes inflammation and poor mitochondria health [9:50] Your body cannot break down inorganic proteins so you must eat wild and organic meats [11:25] Adrenal fatigue is common as women age as the adrenals take over hormone production [13:30] Liver health is essential because it is the detoxification pathway of the body [21:30] Only 3% of Leucine turns into HMB which is the metabolite that prevents muscle wasting [23:22] Diatomic iodine increases the risk of an allergic reactions and does not fully absorb [25:00] Iodine regulates estrogen production; Iodine deficiency can lead to estrogen dominance [35:40] Lack of sleep dysregulates your body and can negate the effects of healthy living HOW TO CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST Use PROTEIN10 for 10% discount Website:https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/ Radio: https://acceleratedhealthradioshow.com/ Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC10Yc7gWgyc4hSRZBVewsWQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/acceleratedhealthproducts/ MEMORABLE QUOTES “The goal is to reduce inflammation, increase metabolism and increase metabolic health.” [11:17] “Women in the menopausal age suffer from adrenal fatigue, more than most, because our adrenals are having to take over the production of our female hormones.” [11:57] “HMB comes from leucine and leucine is what bodybuilders use to maintain their muscle mass but what they don't know is that only 3% of leucine turns into HMB and HMB is what prevents muscle wasting.”[12:36] “Iodine deficiency is connected to depression, to hypothyroidism, to toxicity and when we are talking about weight gain and those stalls, it could be because you're overloaded with toxins; so the best way to protect yourself is to be taking the right iodine and that will keep your receptor cells from holding onto those halogens and even EMFs.” [24:14] To learn more about me and to stay connected, visit the links below: Website: The Girlfriend Doctor Instagram: The Girlfriend Doctor
My guest is Layne Norton, Ph.D. — one of the world's foremost experts in nutrition, protein metabolism, muscle gain and fat loss.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter Don Layman is a Professor of Food Science and Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He has spent the past 40 years investigating the role of dietary protein in muscle protein synthesis. In this episode, Don describes how his decades of research have shaped his thinking around protein, muscle, anabolic factors, metabolism, and more. He explains the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for protein: what it is, how it came about, and how it should serve only as a guide for the minimum protein necessary for survival rather than as an optimal level of protein intake. He provides an overview of the essential amino acids, explains the nuances of animal versus plant protein, and provides insights for determining protein quality, absorption rates, and how to best track your intake. He discusses the ideal timing of protein intake in relation to resistance exercise, how protein should be distributed among meals, and how limitations in protein utilization per sitting can impact those practicing time-restricted eating. Additionally, Don shares results from his clinical trials, including how a high-protein diet fared in terms of fat loss, and explains the differences in protein utilization between adolescents and adults and how the problem of reduced efficiency of protein utilization in older adults can be overcome. We discuss: Don's background: from growing up on a farm to studying nutritional biochemistry [2:30]; Don's philosophy on nutrition, muscle, and metabolism [6:30]; The controversial relationship between saturated fat and atherosclerosis [18:15]; The basics of protein and amino acids [25:45]; Origin and limitations of the current recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for protein intake [32:15]; Protein sources: determining quality, absorption rates, and how to track intake [41:15]; Leucine, lysine, and methionine: three important essential amino acids [48:00]; The vital role of ruminant animals in the production of quality protein [53:15]; The differing needs and impacts of dietary protein for a 16-year old compared to a 65-year old [59:30]; Consequences of protein deficiency in childhood [1:06:30]; Muscle protein synthesis: ideal timing, small meals vs. big meals, and more [1:12:45]; Protein needs of children [1:19:45]; How important is timing protein intake around training? [1:24:15]; The role of leucine in fatty acid oxidation by muscle [1:28:15]; High protein diets for fat loss: Results from Don's clinical trials [1:31:30]; Influence of industry funding on nutrition studies [1:43:45]; Don's thoughts on plant-based and synthetic “meats” [1:48:45]; Problems with epidemiological studies of dietary protein [1:56:30]; More.

This bonus, talking all things protein, we revisit our episode with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to get a clear concise bullet point breakdown of takeaways from Dr. Lyon around nutrition and training. We also talk about what practices Gabby has put into place since this discussion. Questions hit: How much protein do I need? Why is 1 gram per ideal body weight the recommendation? Why 30-55 grams of protein per meal? What are the important things to remember about your first and last meal of the day? Taking protein into consideration, how do I now think about fats, carbs, and cholesterol? Are supplemental BCAAs a waste of money? Leucine? Why is this one picked out of the crowd? What is it doing for me? Where can I get it? mTOR? Why is it important? Why it has a bad wrap?
