“The current recommended dietary allowance, or RDA for protein intake is 0.8 grams per kilogram of bodyweight (about 0.36 grams per pound) per day, or about 68 grams for a 150-pound adult. Dr. Phillips asserts that this amount of protein is probably not enough to maintain muscle mass.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses joint aging prevention, avoiding heavy metals in protein, reducing migraines, nicotinamide for skin, and minimizing jet lag.

“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.”

“Evidence reviewed by the International Society of Sports Nutrition supports about 4 to 6 grams per day for at least two to four weeks, with the clearest performance benefit during hard efforts lasting roughly one to four minutes.”

“Brady Holmer turns the protocol into a weekly framework: one interval session, one longer easy session, additional base-pace activity, active recovery, and at least two resistance sessions. Dr. Patrick emphasizes the progressive build.”

“In The Science of Protein, Dr. Rhonda Patrick uses roughly 1.2–1.6 g/kg/day as a practical framework, calculated from lean mass or an adjusted healthy goal weight when current body fat would create an unrealistic target.”

“As a result, sauna use is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. The mechanisms that drive these effects are likely due to increased heat shock proteins and metabolic and hormonal changes that accompany exercise and sauna use.”

“In another randomized trial, advice to drink an additional 1.5 liters of water daily improved migraine-specific quality of life, even though headache-day counts did not clearly change. Selected nutrients may help some people as part of a broader prevention plan.”

Many of the anabolic effects of growth hormone are thought to be mediated by insulin-like growth factor-1, or IGF-1 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18500379), which is synthesized primarily in the liver but also in skeletal muscle in response to growth hormone.

“The timing of eating and exercise, especially in elite athletes, hasn't been studied and may, in fact, require self-experimentation by the athletes to identify the perfect interval of fasting to support their optimal performance.”
