Protein, Plants & the Aging Gut: Why Midlife Muscles Need More Than Plants


Listen Later

In this solo "deep dive rabbit hole" episode, Coach Debbie Potts breaks down the truth about animal vs. plant protein — and why it matters even more after 40.

You'll learn:

  • Why muscle is your metabolic engine

  • How anabolic resistance makes it harder to build muscle in midlife

  • What leucine thresholds you need to hit to trigger muscle protein synthesis

  • The anti-nutrients in plant-based foods that block absorption

  • Why fiber isn't the full story — and how polyphenols feed your gut better

  • How to create your FutureYou Blueprint™ for muscle, metabolism, and gut health

This episode is for you if you're tired of confusion around plant vs. animal protein, bloating on clean eating, or struggling with body composition as you age. It's time to lift the hood and fix the root causes — not just the macros.
