“A meta-analysis of 49 resistance-training studies found small additional gains from protein supplementation, with fat-free-mass gains leveling near 1.6 grams per kilogram per day in the studied populations.”
Episode
“In a previous episode, entitled "Maximizing Your Mitochondria with Magnesium," we learned that 45% of the US population is deficient in magnesium and the important role magnesium plays in mitochondrial function and how this relates to exercise performance by ensuring your muscle cells have the highest oxidative capacity (ability to produce ATP or "energy") possible.”
“But sometimes, the compounds can work against each other, limiting their absorption and diminishing their healthful effects. In this Aliquot, I address concerns about possible conflicts between matrix components in bananas and dairy products that might diminish the healthful effects of polyphenols.”
“But ultra-processing typically removes many nutrients while adding a plethora of chemicals meant to color, flavor, and preserve the food. In this Aliquot, I explain the science behind the risks associated with eating processed foods and offer advice on choosing healthier options.”
“In this Aliquot, cardiologist Ben Levine, nutritional scientist and champion powerlifter Layne Norton, and I discuss the importance of recovery, how best to approach it, and some surprising, often overlooked aspects of this important part of fitness.”

Food preparation techniques like freezing or cooking can either enhance or hinder maximal sulforaphane production from the sprouts.”
“Part 3 of this series focuses on maximizing and maintaining muscle mass—an essential part of long-term health and fitness—with insights from exercise physiologist and nutrition expert Dr. Luc van Loon and exercise scientist Layne Norton.”
“From the chemistry of synthetic vanillin to the regulatory loopholes behind GRAS labeling, we explore how these additives can influence health—not just through potential toxicity, but by activating the brain's reward system in ways that may affect behavior.”
