In this episode, Dr. Layne Norton sits down with Professor Bill Campbell, PhD — Director of the Performance & Physique Enhancement Laboratory at the University of South Florida and a leading researcher on body composition, high-protein diets, and resistance training adaptations.

They discuss Bill’s high-protein studies in women (including physique athletes, contest prep, older adults, and time-restricted eating), sex differences in muscle growth and training adaptations, the menstrual cycle’s impact on performance, intermittent energy restriction, refeeds and diet breaks, and one major belief he completely changed his mind on (meal frequency).

Packed with practical, evidence-based insights on optimizing body composition, fat loss, and strength.
