Today's guest, who has been my doctor for the last almost 6
years - is a physician with a passion for nutritional science and
“muscle centric medicine” that has dedicated her life to helping
ALL of us understand the importance of dietary protein.
She's going to cover:
✔️How muscle improves metabolic markers relevant to insulin
resistance, type 2 diabetes and PCOS - because skeletal muscle is
our primary site for disposing of the glucose aka carbohydrates we
eat in our diets (and if we don't have muscle, there's nowhere for
it to go!),
✔️How this ties into the picture of preventing or delaying
Alzheimer's, which is often called "type 3 diabetes of the
brain"
✔️Why Alzheimer's starts 20+ years before it actually presents and
is a disease of mid-life, not old age (plus what to do now in your
20s, 30s and 40s)
✔️Why muscle is an endocrine organ that just as important as your
thyroid, and produces biochemistry-altering compounds just like the
thyroid produces hormones!
✔️How muscle is essentially alive, and is a nutrient sensing organ
- it quite literally senses the amino acids we consume via diet,
and how this sensitivity decreases as we age
✔️What protein threshold per meal you need to build muscle
✔️The difference between plant and animal protein in terms of amino
acid quality
✔️Why leucine is the most important amino acid and why we need more
as we age
✔️How much protein you should be eating based on your body
weight
✔️How hormone changes and menopauses affect this picture
✔️Why body composition matters and how excess adipose tissue
affects the brain
✔️And EXACTLY what you can start doing TODAY to become healthier,
sharper, and hormonally optimized as you age.
