“In part one of this two-part Aliquot, Dr. Stuart Phillips and I talk about the role of nutrients and supplements in promoting muscle protein synthesis and subsequent increases in muscle mass and strength.”
“Consuming sufficient protein is essential for muscle growth and maintenance. Emphasis on specific amino acids within protein, particularly the branched-chain amino acids, probably isn't necessary unless you're an elite athlete or an older adult.”
“Protein is essential for building and maintaining muscles. Aiming for about 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight (about 0.5 to 0.7 grams per pound) is optimal for maintenance on the lower end and building muscle on the higher end.”
“Managing muscle soreness is a component of recovery – a necessary aspect of training that allows you to come back strong with enough energy and joint-related reserves to train effectively in your next workout session.”
“While animal-derived protein has the advantage of containing more amino acids that promote hypertrophy – particularly leucine – research suggests that plant-based proteins can be more viable for supporting muscle than previously thought.”
“Individual responses to diet can be influenced by a person's genetic makeup, however. Knowing a person's genetic factors influencing their response to diet may be beneficial component of a multi-part strategy developed in coordination with professional care for keeping ApoB in check.”
“Topics include hair regrowth in androgenic alopecia, pain reduction in rheumatoid arthritis with notable results but occasional study design concerns and conflicts of interest, muscle endurance, post-exercise muscle recovery, wound healing, and skin wrinkling.”
“But implementing a ketogenic diet is challenging. In this Aliquot, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino explains how to avoid side effects on a ketogenic diet, provides valuable pointers for success, and explains how the diet might help preserve muscle mass.”
“In this Aliquot, Dr. Brad Schoenfeld describes a balanced approach to maximizing muscle growth and strength and dispels early myths about possible blunting effects of aerobic training, the need to train to failure, and the "go heavy or go home" philosophy.”
“As research progresses, my dietary and supplement habits adapt. At times, it's the ineffable quality of consciousness, submerged in a mental calculus of cost-benefits, that nudges a change of heart. Other times, it's the stark contradiction of new data that compels a shift.”
