Rewind: Dr. Mike Israetel on nutrient timing

Rewind: Dr. Mike Israetel on nutrient timing

Author: Jim McDonald March 29, 2023 Duration: 31:08
We’re on a production break for a couple of weeks or so due to a trip out of the country, so we’re revisiting some valuable episodes from the beginning (and original format) of the show. (Plus, you get to hear us to an ad read we didn’t have time to cut out.)

Here’s the original description of this episode:We’ve heard for years that WHEN you eat can make a huge difference. We’ve also heard that WHEN we eat carbs…or fat…or protein…can be critical to making the biggest gains, or losing the most weight, etc. What’s the actual story?Here are the additional angles we came up with:
  • Are there time windows for maximizing gains (or weight loss)?
  • Does timing matter more for some people than others?
  • Do you need to build your life – and your workouts --- around your meals?
  • Can you eat so much protein at one time that your body can’t use it all?
  • Will too much protein damage your kidneys?
Dr. Mike Israetel comes in at about 11:21 to set the record straight.

A cofounder of Renaissance Periodization, Dr. Mike Israetel​ holds a PhD in Sport Physiology from East Tennessee State University. Formerly a professor of Exercise and Sport Science in the School of Public Health at Temple University in Philadelphia, Mike has taught several courses, including Nutrition for Public Health, Advanced Sports Nutrition and Exercise, and Nutrition and Behavior.You can find him on IG @rpdrmike and on Twitter: @drmikeisraetel

We kick off the show talking about engaging an audiences, genetics, and stretch goals.

Ever notice how a movie scene about training or a social media trend about nutrition can feel a bit off, like the reality got lost in translation? That’s the space where 50% Facts lives. Hosted by veteran podcaster and gym owner Jim McDonald, this series digs into the wide gap between how popular culture depicts our well-being and how things actually work. Each episode takes a closer look at the portrayals of health, fitness, mental health, and more in films, TV, and online media, questioning where the truth ends and the distortion begins. Jim brings his perspective from running Third Street Barbell in Sacramento to conversations with a diverse range of guests, from fitness experts and athletes to voices from entertainment. The discussions are grounded, often surprising, and focused on separating Hollywood flair from actionable knowledge. Tune in for a podcast that doesn’t just review media but investigates the stories we’re told about our own bodies and minds, all through Jim’s straightforward and experienced lens.
