Video Description

The ultimate protein episode: how much protein you need, ideal timing, and quality of protein. Get 40% storewide on the Primal Tallow Balms, just head to https://theprimal.com/discount. Protein FREE GUIDE: https://www.theprimal.com/lab/eat-more-protein-lose-weight-faster-amount-needed-ideal-timing-quality This episode features Dr Donald Layman, a PHD researcher and expert in protein metabolism and metabolic health. Dr Layman has spent decades researching the role of protein in metabolic health, including the role of leucine in muscle protein synthesis. This episode will be your ultimate protein guide. Dr Layman will discuss why protein is so important, relating to muscle health, aging, disease prevention, and optimal body composition, namely fat loss. Up to 45% of people do not consume enough protein daily, which is likely mainly in women, and the RDA amount of 0.8kg is far too low for optimal health. Dr Layman will discuss how much protein you need per day for optimal muscle and cellular health, why the timing of protein matters, and the quality of protein as we age. This episode is important for anyone who wants to optimise their health through adequate protein consumption. You will learn exactly how much you need to eat, the best sources of protein, the role of leucine, and exercise protocols to increase strength.
