Description
“Optimizing Muscle Protein Synthesis” features Peter Attia (MD) and Luc van Loon (PhD) in a detailed discussion on how protein intake, exercise, and nutrient timing affect muscle growth and recovery. They examine endurance versus resistance training, fat metabolism, aging-related muscle loss, and how to preserve muscle while dieting. With insights from leading research, Attia and van Loon explain how to apply protein quality, distribution, and daily habits to maintain strength, support metabolism, and protect long-term muscle function.
