#299 ‒ Optimizing muscle protein synthesis: the crucial impact of protein quality and quantity, and the key role of resistance training | Luc van Loon, Ph.D.
“It’s the exercise that makes you respond way more to the same or less amount of protein that you ingest.” —Luc van Loon
Resistance training partially reverses some of the hallmarks of aging type II muscle fibers
Age-related muscle declines are not as inevitable as you might think.
Does time-restricted eating increase the risk of cardiovascular death?
Why I don’t put any stock in a recent “study”
Optimizing protein quantity, distribution, and quality
Maximizing muscle protein synthesis is more than a matter of daily protein intake. How we distribute protein throughout the day matters, as does protein quality.
#291 ‒ The role of testosterone in males and females, performance-enhancing drugs, sustainable fat loss, supplements, and more | Derek, More Plates More Dates Pt.2
“These things can all move the needle [on testosterone] like 100+ ng/dL potentially, depending on how deficient you are. So some of these are low hanging fruits with the sleep, micronutrients, minerals, actual macro intake.” —Derek, More Plates More Dates
New insights on maximizing protein utilization for muscle protein synthesis
A new study adds nuance – rather than contradictions – to conventional wisdom on protein intake patterns for maximal anabolic response
#285 – AMA #55: Exercise: longevity-focused training, goal setting, improving deficiencies, managing emotional stress, and more
“Nothing comes close to having a greater impact on the length and quality of your life than your training. And unfortunately, we can’t put it in a pill. You’ve got to be able to do it. There’s no biohack for it.” —Peter Attia
How does aging increase risk of dehydration?
Aging weakens the regulatory systems for maintaining water balance, necessitating more conscious oversight of fluid intake to prevent dehydration.
Can a new drug mimic the effects of exercise on bone and muscle?
Researchers have recently discovered that a new drug called locamidazole may help to prevent loss of bone density and muscle mass during periods of inactivity, but it’s no substitute for all of the benefits of exercise.
#242 – AMA #44: Peter’s historical changes in body composition with his evolving dietary, fasting, and training protocols
“Trends matter. You’re treating what you see, but you’re mindful of the trends.” —Peter Attia
