Get ready for the ULTIMATE masterclass on protein as I host my mentor & PhD advisor, Dr. Donald Layman on the podcast. Not only did Dr. Layman help mentor me through my PhD and shape my rigorous thinking as a scientist, he is also one of the smartest people I’ve ever met. Like me, his Bachelors was in Biochemistry and PhD in Nutritional Science. This uniquely positioned him to understand the deep mechanisms and biochemistry underlying metabolic pathways, while also having a fantastic understanding of how these mechanisms play out on a whole body level.

Dr. Layman has published hundreds of peer reviewed journal articles, and many of his graduates have gone on to make big impacts in Academia & Industry, including: Drs Josh & Tracey Anthony, Dr. Jamie Baum, Dr. Suzanne Devkota, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, & more. Last year, Dr. Layman was presented with the American Society for Nutrition’s Lifetime Achievement Award for his incredible body of work.

You do not want to miss this deep dive into all things protein with one of the GOATs of Protein and Nutrition.
