Dr. Donald Layman, with over 30 years dedicated to researching protein's impact on muscle-centric health is here to chat about all things protein! Today he's sharing his insights on: How much protein do we really need? Is there a perfect time to consume protein, like before or after a workout? Does the kind of exercise we do matter when it comes to intake? How can we tell good quality proteins from the rest? We also dig into protein snacks and take a closer look at their bioavailability. Plus, we cover essential amino acids, supplements, and plant-based diets – can you really hit your protein goals without animal products? Want to know the biggest protein mistake people are making and how to spot deceptive marketing? Tune in!
