In this episode, we cover:
- Key strategies for muscle hypertrophy and the importance of total daily protein intake.
- The role of muscle as an endocrine organ in longevity and health.
- The dynamic cycle of muscle protein synthesis and breakdown for muscle maintenance and growth.
- The integration of resistance training and nutrition for optimal muscle development.
- Comparing plant and animal proteins for muscle synthesis.
- Debunking the "anabolic window" myth, emphasizing total daily protein intake over precise timing.
- Practical recommendations for resistance training, including strategies for increasing strength.
Gender and age considerations in muscle protein synthesis and the importance of resistance training for older adults.
