Q&A

• What insights are shared about intermittent fasting and premium membership?

  Intermittent fasting is discussed as a tool for caloric restriction, and the potential need for collagen protein supplementation for completeness is mentioned. Consistency in training is emphasized as more important than protein timing. Additionally, becoming a premium member offers exclusive benefits and content.

• What are the drivers of anabolic resistance?

  Aging and inactivity are the two drivers of anabolic resistance. Inactivity significantly impacts muscle protein synthesis, while aging has various hypotheses that may also contribute to anabolic resistance. Protein quality and exercise play significant roles in muscle protein synthesis.

• What factors affect protein digestion rate and synthesis?

  The rate of digestion varies for different proteins, and the amino acid composition is crucial. Factors such as the total amount of protein consumed, muscle loss in the elderly, and the concept of anabolic resistance are also discussed.

• What role do amino acids play in muscle protein synthesis?

  Amino acids play a significant role in muscle protein synthesis and turnover. Different types of athletes exhibit varying protein synthesis based on the training stimulus. Digestibility, essential amino acid profile, leucine content, and total protein content are key factors influencing muscle protein synthesis.
