When most people set out to lose weight, they usually turn to restrictive diets. And while you might see the scale go down when you’re implementing a strict caloric deficit, it’s very possible that you’re overlooking an important factor in creating a healthy body composition: muscle mass. On today’s show, you’re going to learn about the science of body recomposition. Our guest, Dr. Bill Campbell is one of the foremost experts in the world on the science of building muscle and burning fat.

His work also focuses on helping women optimize their health during the menopause transition. In this interview, you’re going to learn about the critical connection between sleep and fat loss, the importance of protecting your lean muscle mass, and why protein is an essential macronutrient for reaching any health goal.  We’re also going to dive into why most dieters gain the weight back, the science of weight loss resistance, and how to enhance your strength training strategies at any experience level.
