In this science-packed conversation, we busted some of the most persistent and misleading myths in women's fitness, protein metabolism, and muscle growth. From fears around mTOR and kidney health to the truth about cycle syncing and menopause, this episode is all about clarity, confidence, and facts. If you've ever been confused by conflicting advice online — especially around how women “should” train or eat protein — this one's for you. TOP 12 MYTHS: The RDA for protein, high protein diets &  kidneys or bones, mTOR activation is bad for longevity, building muscle during your luteal phase, timing rules for protein and fasting, do women need less protein than men, muscle loss and menopause, lifting heavy vs moderate to get results and much more! Dr. Phillips brings research-backed clarity to all of these claims — including findings from his lab and collaborations with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple. Whether you're in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond, this episode will empower you to focus on what actually works. Free high-protein keto guide: The Keto Reset eBook

I'm excited to share my conversation with Stuart Phillips, where we dive deep into muscle building science - a topic that generates endless debate on social media. As someone who struggles with gaining muscle despite consistent training, I was shocked when Dr. Christopher Gardner told me muscle growth is "10% nutrition and 90% exercise." This contradicted everything I thought I knew, so I had to bring in Stu - widely considered the foremost expert on muscle development - to separate fact from fiction. The most fascinating insight for me was discovering that effective muscle building can happen across a wide range of repetition schemes - from as low as 3 reps to as high as 25 reps per set. This challenges the rigid "strength/hypertrophy/endurance" continuum that's dominated fitness advice for decades.

Even if you don't have hot flashes, stay with me on this because this episode is on exercise and hot flashes. We're going to dissect the science and eradicate “science says” as a cry for validity by influencers.  Hot flashes are one of the most common symptoms of menopause. I'll talk about the relationship between exercise and hot flashes along with other menopause symptoms like muscle loss or fat increase.   In previous podcast episodes and books, I've shared researcher comments about whether exercise could mitigate menopause symptoms. The answer, “Yes, provided it's intense enough.”    The Science A 2024 study on 72 pre, peri and postmenopausal women, published in the Menopause Journal of The Menopause Society, looked at the impact of minutes spent in 3 exercise intensities and body composition on total menopause symptoms (TMS).  More symptoms were associated with higher body fat. Intense physical exercise improves % body composition and may reduce TMS, beneficial for perimenopausal women.  An article published by the American College of Sports Medicine, looked at protein turnover changes, muscle size, quality and strength during menopause. All seemed to decline.    What we don't know [Dr Stuart Phillips' response to Mary Claire Haver's Instagram post regarding estrogen's impact on muscle] is the cause for these changes.   Is there evidence for causation between decline of estrogen and decrease in muscle mass, which some women experience:  Insomnia  Poor mood, depression or anxiety Lack of motivation (serotonin receptors) A time crunch in midlife  Comfort or emotional eating  Repeatedly, women will say, “I haven't changed a thing, but my results have changed.” That would be true if you didn't change what it was you were doing. If your hormones have changed, we have to change the exercise.   Another 2024 study in Menopause Journal showed both moderate intensity and resistance training exercise will decrease hot flash occurrence in some women, especially in women with depression.  High Intensity - more impact on body composition and positive impact on hot flashes Moderate Intensity - decreased hot flash occurrence   Exercise and Hot Flashes, Estrogen and Muscle Whether we're talking about exercise and hot flashes or estrogen and muscle loss, so many variables could be at play, even if the science is a randomized double-blind study with a large enough subject pool. If hormones have changed, we have to change the exercise (including nutrition and sleep habits) or it's not going to work.  If medications become important, then we have to look at micronutrients because they're depleted by each prescription or OTC med. If you don't absorb micronutrients you don't have optimal muscle or strength building blocks.    Social Media The type of studies that influencers share matters. Whether they've shared a review of literature, a double-blind randomized control study, or a narrative or know what that means What is the interpretation that helps you make decisions on changes you may want to consider or that reinforces what you are doing? The only real thing an influencer is sharing unless they share the science with you is, “what works for me” and you're left to guess… is that really what happens behind the scenes?    But before I share that, I think we know this:  Both are on a worthy mission… To improve the knowledge we have about muscle, bone and aging and the impact on them of daily and weekly habits  To acknowledge menopause has historically impacted women's health.   What can you do with the information? Make the best choices on exercise prescription, dietary choices, lifestyle habits to offset what is impacted by hormonal changes Make the best choices with their time and energy for women with hormonal changes to get the optimal health habits. Provide clarity about the exercise prescription that is most advantageous and then customize it for women based on their fitness status, health history, and stage of menopause  Train an army of Menopause Fitness Specialist® in every fitness club, health center, university and behind every online program.    Become a Coach on Exercise and Hot Flashes for Women in Midlife If you are interested in becoming a Flipping 50 Menopause Fitness Specialist® and tired of guessing for yourself, your clients and watching a lot of bro science applied to women without ever considering…  We've never asked questions about pelvic floor health in intake forms in the fitness industry.

We've never suggested a woman test her muscle mass at 25 and bone at 30 when she's peaking to compare later.   Do you want to know how to create a comprehensive exercise prescription that supports, not worsens:  Insomnia Pre-diabetes and insulin resistance Low libido  Low bone mass  Body and (specifically) belly fat Exercise  Hot flashes/night sweats   More than 7 other key changes in exercise prescription that help a woman arrive at menopause, thrive through menopause, and enhance her longevity – reach out to me right now.

Leg strength isn't just about physical health. There are enormous benefits for brain health, too. From the more obvious benefits for balance and mobility to the deeper neurochemical machinery that powers the production and transportation of brain-boosting proteins, leg strength has a far greater influence on brain health than we might expect. In this episode of ‘Your Brain On...', we discuss: • The prevalence of injuries caused by falls in elderly populations (and how leg strength can help counter this problem) • How brain-boosting chemicals like BDNF are produced by resistance exercise • What actually happens to our muscles when we grow them with regular exercise • How we can all work on our leg strength, regardless of age and ability • The importance of rest, recovery, and nutrition in an effective exercise regime Joining us for this discussion are the immensely knowledgeable Dr. Stuart Phillips, a Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at McMaster University, and Dr. Kirk Erickson, Associate Professor in the Dept. of Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh (and an expert in the area of exercise and cognitive health). ‘Your Brain On' is hosted by neuroscientists and public health advocates Ayesha and Dean Sherzai. ‘Your Brain On...

How much protein can your body actually use in one sitting? Is there an upper limit to muscle protein synthesis? Does protein timing really matter?  If you're serious about gaining muscle, you've likely asked these questions and many more like them. To help answer these questions, I interviewed Dr. Stuart Phillips, a world-renowned protein researcher who has published more than 450 peer-reviewed articles. He's a bonafide protein metabolism expert. In this episode, we discuss the findings of a recent groundbreaking study that challenged the common belief that there's a limit to how much protein your body can use in one meal. Dr. Phillips breaks down the study's surprising results and shares his insights on optimal protein intake for muscle growth. He also delves into other fascinating topics like the role of protein as you age, the anabolic window, and the "first meal effect." Whether you're a bodybuilder, athlete, or simply looking to optimize your fitness, this episode will provide you with cutting-edge and practical information to help you reach your goals. In this podcast, you'll learn about . . . - The upper limit of protein absorption in a single meal and the effects of consuming a massive dose of protein - Protein timing and the duration of the “anabolic window” post-workout - Why protein overfeeding might not be the answer to enhanced muscle gain - The potential differences between protein supplements and whole-food protein source - How aging affects muscle protein synthesis and anabolic resistance - Protein quality and its role in overall health and muscle development. - Practical strategies to optimize your daily protein intake - The role of exercise versus nutrition in muscle growth and health - And more . . . So, click play and get evidence-based recommendations for optimizing your protein intake for health, longevity, and muscle gain.

Dr. Stuart Phillips is here to discuss the importance of protein for women's health.

We lose approximately 1% of our muscle mass after the age of 40. Ahhh – 1% - what's the big deal, right? Well – for the muscular athlete, the 3% lost from age 40-43 may be barely noticeable, but what about the 25% lost by age 65 in the unconditioned office worker who doesn't have much extra muscle to begin with? It can dramatically reduce function and decrease both quality and years of life.But the application of the research isn't limited to aging. It also can bring benefits to surgical outcomes, allow athletes to extend their careers, and improve the lives of your coaching clients, friends and family members. Soon to be Dr. Guilia Colletta has been focusing her research on the practical aspects of protein intake, activity levels and other steps we can all take to positively traverse this fork in the road of life and is here to share those with us today. She has worked very closely with Dr. Stuart Phillips, one of our most popular guests on the podcast almost 4 years ago. Looking for weekly tips, tricks and turbo boosts to enhance your life?

What don't they teach women about strength training? Plenty. For starters, how she's unique from males, how she uniquely burns fat during exercise, and how her pre-menopause exercise and post-menopause exercise results will change. Most of all, how to be the absolute happiest and most successful with exercise at any point in her life.    So, let's unravel some things, okay?    Facts on Women's Exercise Science (Including Strength Training) Only 39% of all exercise and sports medicine research features you. Of the average of 7 hormonal phases a woman goes through from puberty to post-menopause, each demands a unique exercise prescription. She's not getting it.    Unless you've known to ask, even if you're working with a trainer one-on-one, is that program made based on research featuring women just like me, chances are you're just gambling. Yes, you've got arms, legs, and a torso similar to men, however, your structure is unique with a wider pelvis, larger Q-angle from hip to knee, and your endocrine system (hormones) are very different than a male. The effect of exercises during phases of your period and during phases of your life will be very different than the effects of the same exercise programs on a male.  Women and Fat Burning from Strength Training Fat burning – lipolysis – only happens when insulin falls to a low level. Fasting is one way to get there. Strength training for postmenopausal women is another. Only strength training supports lipolysis optimally and keeps the body there for longer periods of time.    Fat oxidation occurs during cardo but it's important to understand that this isn't a good measure of longer-term fat burning. Burning a higher percent of fat at a lower level of exercise often means you're burning it very slowly. You won't burn much fat for fuel and higher intensity rates. However, a small fraction of a big number is potentially bigger. I pointed this term out in You Still Got It, Girl!  There are those that swear a “zone 2” training is working for them. No arguments. It likely isn't because of additional fat burning, however. It's due to a reduction of cortisol from the particular type of exercise.      Strength Training Facts: How to Increase Your Longevity by 40%  Do all the cardio you want. It will take you so far, like maybe to 65 to quote Dr. Stuart Phillips, a speaker at the recent Flipping 50 event, the What, When & Why to Exercise for Women 40+. Cardiovascular exercise might get you to 65, but strength training is what's going to take you beyond 65.  Three times weekly vigorous cardio exercise got a nice 27% lower mortality risk than those that don't exercise at all. Respectable.    But those who did one or two strength training sessions a week had a 40% lower mortality rate than those who didn't exercise at all.    Let's be clear, though, HOW you strength train matters. You will live longer and healthier if the strength training you do results in greater strength and greater lean muscle mass. That in turn is what reduces blood sugar, and inflammation, improves cognition, decreases anxiety, and improves bone density and function. Women's Strength Training and Hypertension  For menopausal and postmenopausal women with hypertension risks, the most effective exercise program for lowering blood pressure seems to be a combination of aerobic and strength training. In a review study of randomized controlled trials, combined training generated larger clinically significant reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as mean arterial pressure, for women with prehypertension or hypertension when compared with aerobic training or no exercise training. Interestingly, when assessing the best exercises for menopause, researchers found that aerobic training alone did not result in clinically relevant improvements in overall blood pressure for women with existing hypertension risks. What Else Don't They Teach You About Strength Training?  What they also don't teach women about strength training is how to pull it all together. When women think about all the needs for cardio, flexibility, strength, power, agility, bone density… they aren't sure which exercises and how, and how to juggle this with a busy life, working or not.  I've got answers and we'd love you to join us. Check out flippingfifty.com we've got an upcoming masterclass addressing how to pull it all together, without ditching your family or work!  References:  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24766579/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8471631/ https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/56/21/1218 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34108092/   Other Episodes You Might Like: How Does Strength Traning Increase Your Metabolism: https://www.flippingfifty.com/increase-your-metabolism/  Importance of Strength Training for the Midlife Woman | #516:https://www.flippingfifty.com/strength-training-for-the-midlife-woman/  Resources: Women's Exercise 40+ Event: https://www.flippingfifty.com/womensexercise Annmarie Skin Care: https://www.flippingfifty.com/SummerSkin

The progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength that occurs with aging, referred to as sarcopenia, begins as early as our 30s or 40s. Many factors contribute to sarcopenia, including diet and inactivity. Building muscle mass in one's early years is essential for staving off the age-related loss of muscle mass and may promote longevity.  In this Aliquot, Dr. Stuart Phillips discusses the importance of building muscle through resistance training and why starting early is important. 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:00:58 - Why muscles decline with age and what to do 00:06:00 - Why muscle is important for longevity 00:16:25 - Causes of anabolic resistance in old age Get more Aliquots! Become a FMF Premium member and get full access to our members-only podcast, The Aliquot, plus live Q&As with Rhonda, biweekly Science Digest emails, and more.

In Episode #228, I sit down with Dr Stuart Phillips and Dr Christopher Gardner for a discourse on how much protein we really need. We discuss nitrogen balance, lack of protein vs lack of exercise, and protein restriction. We also cover protein quality, satiety, and environmental considerations. Recommended daily intake (RDA) is a key factor in this conversation, with discussion points including its definition, the studies used to inform it, and whether you should eat above it. There is ongoing conversation about protein requirements across all eating patterns, with this contentious topic often sparking debate on social media. With protein regularly used as a marketing tool or to push an agenda, many online sources are diluted and separated from the evidence. Dr Gardner and Dr Phillips – both from different fields – have recently taken varying stances on protein, engaging in a Twitter dialogue. In this episode, we bring both of their informed perspectives to the table, and ask: how much do their opinions really differ? Specifically, we discuss: 0:00 Intro 3:13 Analyzing the RDA for Protein 17:36 What is Optimal? 22:25 Dr. Gardner's Approach to Protein 33:38 Aging & Muscle Preservation 38:32 How much is TOO much? 44:21 Vegan Protein 56:54 Environmental Concerns 1:01:52 Satiety 1:07:24 Outro You can connect with Dr Christopher Gardner on Twitter.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, ButcherBox, and Comvita.As you lose muscle, you lose mitochondria and your metabolism slows down. Then there is the fact that the natural loss of muscle mass and strength as we age is associated with all-cause mortality and linked to the incidence of many chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease and stroke, hypertension, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. This is why muscle mass is not only essential for maintaining a healthy weight, but it's also a key factor in reducing the risk of chronic disease and improving your healthspan and longevity. In this episode, I speak with Drs. Stuart Phillips and Chris Rinch, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, and Mark Sisson about the importance of supporting our body's largest organ, muscle.Dr. Chris Rinsch is co-founder and CEO at Amazentis where he oversees the company's operations in Switzerland.

In Episode #210, Professor Stuart Phillips returns to expand on our conversation about using science to improve training outcomes.One very common criticism of a plant-based diet is that it's difficult to meet protein requirements due to both quantity and quality of plant-based protein sources. “Evidence” provided for this often centres around amino acid profiles, linking back to the DIAAS and PDCAAS protein scoring systems. Today, Professor Stuart Phillips offers clarity on this topic and much more useful information on what to consume, in what form, and when.In this episode, we cover a whole suite of information that is highly relevant and applicable for those looking to improve their training outcomes. In addition to briefly revisiting the basics of protein consumption, we discuss distribution and timing, protein needs for older people, and protein quality scoring systems. We also dive into supplementation for those looking to improve performance and muscle protein synthesis, including caffeine, beta alanine, nitrates, creatine, omega-3s, and hormones.Specifically, we discuss:Intro [0:00]Protein distribution [1:20]Scoring systems for protein [11:13]Supplements for performance [28:08]Sodium bicarbonate [43:40]Nitrates [51:29]Creatine [56:10]Omega 3s [1:05:25]Hormones & protein synthesis [1:10:30]Aging & muscle gain [1:13:20]Exciting new studies [1:24:12]Outro [1:27:19]To listen to my previous conversation with Professor Philips, head to Episode #190.

This is an "ask me anything" (AMA) episode, with Prof. Stuart Phillips of McMaster University. Prof. Phillips takes questions on protein intake, sources, muscle function, and healthy ageing. To listen to the full AMA, click here to subscribe to Sigma Nutrition Premium. Questions answered:   [04.28] What is muscle protein balance? [05.32] Why is the focus always on muscle protein synthesis? [07.14] Is MPS a good proxy measure for outcomes we care about (e.g. muscle growth/repair)? [10.37] What's the difference between 'whole body protein synthesis' and 'muscle protein synthesis'? [12.57] We're starting to see commercially available whey that has been produced by bacteria engineered to synthesize whey protein directly from nutritional substrate. It seems like we should expect this to have directly comparable effects given the identical molecular structure. Is there any reason to think this bacterially synthesized whey will have any different effects that whey from dairy? [15.50] Does the literature still show that an additional dose of plant-derived protein is required to equate a similar response from animal protein? [26.39] During post-exercise conditions does protein ingestion stimulate MPS for longer than the usual 2-3 hour period reported in rested conditions? [27.49] Considering the growing interest in fasting protocols (both TRF and longer fasting protocols) - what would you recommend in these circumstances for the preservation / growth of muscle mass. Would it differ between IF/TRF and longer (1-3 day) fasts? [34.58] Is it a waste to take too much protein powder at once because some of it won't get absorbed? [42.50] Does protein powder lose some of its quality if boiling water is added due to protein denaturation? [47.05] Would you please share your opinion about how you evaluate protein status in the body? [50.51] I am now over 60 and lift heavy twice a week. What would be a reasonable body fat % for me to aspire to and how much daily protein should I be targetting in my diet? Subscribe to Premium

Make sure you're getting your daily dose of fish oil.  It is one of the basic rules of nutrition and there is no argument that omega-3 fatty acids are very important for our health. But those fishy burps are irksome. The science behind - and our understanding of omega-3 oils - has come a long way. In today's episode we're going to explore how nano-dispersion technology is being used to fuel our bodies with a new smoothie, EO3 (Enhanced Omega-3), without the downside of unpleasant belching. In collaboration with EO3, LLAMA brought together the company's founder, Janne Karin Sande, who's based on Oslo, Norway, and Prof. Stuart Phillips, director of the Physical Activity Centre of Excellence (PACE) at McMaster University, in Ontario, Canada, to discuss the drink, which contains Norwegian cod liver oil and protein. This episode is brought to you in association with EO3, the ready to drink product, made with fish oil and protein,  designed to help athletes train faster and harder with optimum recovery. Backed by science EO3 is a complete nutritional solution for cognitive and physical benefits. A better way to get the Omega 3 your body needs. Prof. Phillips sits on the scientific advisory board for EO3.Recorded: June 6, 2022 | Read a transcript and show notes at the LLAMA podcast website.The Live Long and Master Aging podcast, a HealthSpan Media LLC production, shares ideas but does not offer medical advice.  If you have health concerns of any kind, or you are considering adopting a new diet or exercise regime, you should consult your doctor.Affiliation disclosure: DoNotAge.org is offering listeners to LLAMA a 10% discount on its range of products, including NAD boosters.

In this week's episode of the Discover Strength Podcast, I had the pleasure of being joined once again by Dr. Stuart Phillips.Dr. Phillips is a senior lecturer at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. He is widely regarded as one of the preeminent researchers in the world on protein. In this week's episode we focus specifically on supplements. What works, what doesn't and what does the research say is worth spending your money on. The supplement industry is fraught with misinformation, disinformation and unfortunately outright lies. There are however, a few supplements backed by research and proven time and time again to be effective in muscle building. That list however, is very short, and because the industry is widely unregulated, it's important to know what is worth using and what can potentially hinder you, harm you, or will simply be a waste of time and money. In this episode Dr. Phillips in I discuss that short list of supplements we know work for sure. We also talk about some other supplements that may or may not have potential, and the rest unfortunately are for the most part, just fancy marketing.

In this week's episode of the Discover Strength Podcast, I had the pleasure of being joined once again by Dr. Stuart Phillips.Dr. Phillips is a senior lecturer at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. He is widely regarded as one of the preeminent researchers in the world on protein. In this week's episode we talk about the biggest differences in protein types. This means jumping into the debate on "Animal vs. Plant" protein.We discuss things such as bioavailability and contribution to muscle protein synthesis (MPS), and what are the best non-animal protein sources to optimize muscle and strength gain in conjunction with proper resistance training. We also discuss the realities of what protein can and cannot do. If you've ever had any questions on protein quality and consumption, this episode is a must. I'd also highly recommend you check out Dr. Phillips previous episode on the podcast.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Igor Terzic. We also probe Barry Macdonald. Are the tales of these two gentlemen connected? Before that though, we get sidetracked on the facts of Glasgow and the worlds biggest drinking bars. We then get back to Igor, in the middle, of the road… On that note, did Igor drive a 1967 Shelby GT and is this a lovely motor or a pile of rusting trash? Whilst taking this ride, we also ponder whether Moonwalker would make love to a car and whether Greybeard is the Butt Smasher (of House Butt Smash - remember the previous episode). Just to add folks, we are aware that whales don't really have huge gaping butts. We know whales do mushy scale 5-6 poops and we don't really think that a human could be digested, pass through and come out of a whale whole. But Moonwalker could. We mean my gosh, have you seen the man? Knight Rider somehow comes up as we move on and we ask you, loyal probers, will Moonwalker review the whole series? We have some time left over after Igor vanishes so we then briefly covered Barry Macdonald and a sighting Barry was able to record due to going on a secluded wander with his lady-friend and coincidently having a video camera set up and ready to go. There's nothing suspicious there, folks. We watched the UK television show footage courtesy of GMTV before drawing our conclusions. All that and more on this week's file.   Barry's GMTV YouTube video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ojc9OARUPQc      Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: butitwasaliens@gmail.com Instagram @ ButItWasAliensPodcast Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband. Additional music via: https://freepd.com - thank you most kindly good people. Of course, as we parodied the story we couldn't resist an instrumental snippet from Kyle Gass and Jack Black's rocking band Tenacious D's first single from their self-titled 2001 album, Tribute. Which is not the greatest song in the world, no, it's just a tribute. That song resides under Epic labels catalogue and was produced by the Dust Brothers. Check it out on all good streaming platforms, what a song! A bit of trivia for our UK listeners - Tribute was never actually released as a single in the UK despite its massive air time and popularity. Alongside that there was an ever so brief snippet from Mario Kart 64's Toad's Turnpike courtesy of Nintendo (and composed by Kenta Nagata) as we discussed traffic coming towards Igor. We also included, mainly for Moonwalker's benefit, a snippet of the Stuart Phillips composition, the theme from 1980's television staple Knight Rider starring David Hasselhoff. Wikipedia also lists Glen A. Larson as a composer of that iconic theme.

In Episode 190 I sit down with Professor Stuart Phillips to discuss the importance of exercise, nutrition and recovery in building muscle and improving strength. A pursuit that's not only important to bodybuilders and athletes, but all of us wishing to maintain a high quality of life as we age. Specifically we cover: Importance of fitness and resistance training for healthy ageing What's happening at the cellular level during resistance training and muscle growth The key aspects of recovery What is protein and why it's important for building muscle How amino acids work The optimum amount of protein we should be consuming Risks associated with overconsumption of protein How important protein source is (animal versus plant) and plenty more Resources: The previous episode with scientist Hamilton Roschel that we referred to in this episode comparing animal to plant protein in a group of young healthy adults performing resistance training Previous episode with Dr Matthew Nagra on protein Connect with Dr Phillips on Twitter Dr Phillips' published papers Want to support the show?
