These are the 4 most important players for muscle mass

[@RickyRyan]

Dr. Rhonda, I think you’re showing your bias toward heat and omega 3. :) I think Dr Layne and others in the field of muscle mass would rate: protein intake, resistance training, calorie surplus AND sleep as their top 4 if you want to put on muscle. Sleep is WAY more important than heat… It’s not even close.

[@SpoileralertGMA47]

Do you mind putting the actual DOI for the research studies up that you are referring to?

[@user-ii7xc1ry3x]

Absolutely. Heat and omega 3 together wouldn't even be 10% as important as a calorie surplus or sleep

[@lemonz1769]

I think she’s referring to maintaining muscle mass not necessarily gaining. A calorie surplus wouldn’t be ideal if you’re wishing to maintain muscle mass. She did have an episode with a researcher on the role of omega-3s and maintaining muscle mass in several different populations.

[@jgriff650s]

Absolutely! 💯

[@humanactivated1017]

Agreed and also keeping cortisone at bay in lower mid range

[@pyrosquid3653]

Heat?! Like the 98° outside my apartment right now? It's making me a lot of things but swoll ain't one.

[@BlahBlahPoop617]

Actually, when it comes to the order of things, it’s resistance training first, then protein, and then maybe omega 3. You can eat all the protein you want but if you’re not creating the greater stimulus by resistance training, it why be enough to stop muscle loss as you age let alone build new muscle tissue. Also, not enough good quality data to suggest saunas play a major role in building muscle.

[@YoungMule]

What about calorie surplus and sleep???? I’m sure this clip is out of context but come on

[@user-ii7xc1ry3x]

Yeah, idk who's behind this channel's shorts, but they are doing a huge disservice to Rhonda's "branding image". Anyone deep into evidence-based fitness knows that's absolutely bs. If they're coming across her content for the first time, they probably won't even take her seriously in any other science topic because of this 🤦‍♀️

[@aprilgabutina6970]

Recovery plays a major role too

[@zweihander7309]

Just recently started hypertrophy training taking the training seriously, consistently, and my gym has a sauna and i get plently of omega 3 intake plus other essential vits and creatine and Rhonda isnt lying here, its suprising how fast im making gains even considering im basically a biginner again.

[@altarp7331]

Um no. I can do it on low protein, almost no omega 3s, and no sauna.

[@Norrin777Radd]

That's nice. She's not talking to you. She's speaking to humans in general.

[@deodorme]

@@Norrin777Radd That's a stinky comment

[@redsealjourneymanreviews6647]

Omega 3 isn’t the point it’s EPA and DHA This chick isn’t a pharmacist or a nutrition expert. She just Knows the basics

[@joefallon1766]

Why not steam room when you mention sauna and hot tub?

[@wonderdr1]

Omega-3 over creatine???

[@SF_Native]

Thanks Rhonda. F the haters!

[@user-Red5hield-exp0ser]

I'm always walking around warm or hot so that's easy 😂

[@julianmuller766]

Sleep

[@andrewwabik5125]

She seems to be in a constant state of disappointment.

[@off-the-record6613]

Muscle mass and fat burning, at same time,

[@redsealjourneymanreviews6647]

Not Possible

[@justinmcarthur8690]

Everyone always skips the number one.... 🛏️

[@redsealjourneymanreviews6647]

1.6 g / kg of Lean muscle

[@TheCartographeraoe]

Heat???

[@Luis-ob4xq]

Dr. Rhonda, In addition to your recommendations can I do intermitent diet and oced baths ? Thank you !

[@redsealjourneymanreviews6647]

Iced

[@user-ps5ru1br3o]

Amiga three you’re pushing that out like the Bible, obviously it’s going to sell

[@jayswavely6371]

Any definitive studies on Omega?

[@redsealjourneymanreviews6647]

Fish

[@ShootStraight84]

Why heat ?

[@mariogeorge384]

منوره مدمزيل

[@Unbox747]

Idk I see so many people that are ripped and they just do construction

[@redsealjourneymanreviews6647]

Yeah and they drink beer this chick Is Woke

[@Josephv3848]

Sauna? Come on. Fake news.

[@redsealjourneymanreviews6647]

Not According to Finland

[@user-cp3kp5fs2k]

Carbs water and rest

[@Wtiberon]

Nope. Protein, weightlifting close to failure with 6-30 reps a few sets per muscle, enough calories to grow, and recovery (sleep/rest). If we are talking supplements, TRT and creatine. For performance, caffeine, hydration and electrolytes. Fish oil/Heat isn't even in the top 10.

[@wread1982]

And NPP

[@brendanscully5787]

or live in South East Asia

[@pietjepuk5427]

That.And steroids.Lots.

[@Nope-gt6ze]

Ok Karen

[@jlarson1040]

Why do you need muscle mass?

[@toadpickle]

More lean muscle mass associated with lower body fat and higher metabolism, stronger immune system, higher energy levels, lower risk of osteoporosis and bodily injuries, and then obviously strength to perform daily tasks.

[@degoth_spirestone]

Why would i take advice from a middle-aged woman about muscle mass 😂?

[@Norrin777Radd]

What do her personal demographics have to do with her research conclusions?

[@theonetrueshibe9567]

yeah go get your advice from steroid users, I bet you would be swole.

[@Luis-ob4xq]

Then, don't do it !

[@Ghostedfaet]

No one knows wtf you are talking about. It’s all a word salad of crap

[@Colin_1977]

Why heat?
