On this episode of Mind Body Peak Performance, Nick Urban is joined by Dr. Robert Wolfe—distinguished researcher, professor, and expert in amino acid metabolism from Amino Co.

Together, they dive deep into the science of essential amino acids (EAAs), exploring their impact on brain and body health, muscle recovery, athletic performance, and long-term well-being.

Meet our guest

Dr. Robert R. Wolfe served as a faculty member at Harvard Medical School for nine years and held the John H. Sealy Distinguished Chair in Clinical Research at the UT Medical Branch at Galveston. He was also Chief of the Metabolism Unit at Shriners Burns Hospital.

Now the Director of the Center for Translational Research in Aging and Longevity at the Reynolds Institute on Aging, Dr. Wolfe has received the Herman Award from the American Society of Clinical Nutrition for his lifetime contributions. His research focuses on how aging and stressors like injury or disease affect muscle metabolism, particularly through the use of stable isotope modeling.
