“In Part I of this three-part Aliquot series, creatine expert Dr. Darren Candow and I examine creatine through the lens of two critical systems—muscle and bone—and unpack how creatine supplementation affects muscle quality, physical function, and even skeletal health, particularly in older adults.”
“In Aliquots #131 and #133, leading researcher Dr. Darren Candow and I examined creatine's benefits for muscle quality, physical function, skeletal health, and brain resilience, especially in older adults.”
“A more useful approach is to focus on what you can do to reduce its effects. In this Aliquot, Dr. Kelly Starrett explains why standing more is not enough, how to build movement into your workday, and why it matters for long-term mobility.”
“Insulin-like growth factor-1, or IGF-1 for short, is a protein that plays critical roles in major growth pathways in the human body. It influences nearly every tissue in the body, especially developmental growth, skeletal muscle and neurons.”
“Whereas fasting turns off multiple pathways associated with aging, such as mTOR, IGF-1, growth hormone, and others, eating for optimal fitness activates these important processes. This Aliquot features Drs. Guido Kroemer, Dominic D'Agostino, Valter Longo, Peter Attia, and Rhonda Patrick.”
“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.”
“Having sufficient muscle mass markedly reduces a person's risk of dying prematurely. Although some studies suggest that eating less protein promotes longevity, those studies might not take into account the periods of disuse and disability that often occur in real life.”
“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.”
