How Much Protein Should You Have a Day to Avoid Muscle Loss (Myth Busting Dangers of Protein) • Prof Stuart Phillips

Author: Gary Kirwan August 25, 2017 Duration: 58:19

Protein expert & research scientist, Prof. Stuart Phillips, is today's guest interview. Professor Phillips shares with us the basics of daily protein requirement that we all need to eat for optimal human health. He helps to explain how much protein we need to eat to help minimise the loss of muscle as we age, called sarcopenia, which is especially important for the elderly. We also go into busting the myths like protein causes kidney damage or makes you too acidic. We then find out about some of the mistakes Prof Phillips sees when people eat a keto or low carb diet to lose weight and don't eat enough protein so they loss muscle weight and not just excess body fat.

Discussions naturally explore a wide spectrum, from the roles of specific diets and supplements to the integration of purposeful exercise and recovery techniques. The aim is to provide listeners with a diverse toolkit of ideas and experiences, empowering them to experiment and find what truly optimises their own unique system. Tuning into this podcast is an invitation to a continuous, personal experiment-a process of biohacking your way toward a more vibrant and resilient version of yourself. It’s about parsing the noise, understanding the underlying mechanisms of your wellbeing, and making incremental, sustainable changes that compound into a significantly better quality of life.
