Science Vs

I cannot say how important shows and podcasts like this are… it is so sad to see people are more interested in jibber jabber than things like this.

While there are some good bits here and there in this episode there are large issues. Your research and sources are outdated. The quoted recommendation has been the same since the 80’s. Big red flag. It’s also worth noting that government recommendations are to prevent deficiencies not to promote optimization. Your body will catabolize (eat itself) if you do not have the essential amino acids needed to support protein synthesis. That is worth talking about. What amino acids are, why they are important, and what amounts your body needs, is worth talking about. Nitrogen balances before and after ingestion is one part of the puzzle, not the end all be all. It’s an outdated way to singularly recommend protein intake. Listen elsewhere for better & more updated science based information. Gabrielle Lyon is a great example. Huberman lab is much more thorough and uses a wide range of professionals, studies, and literature to get the big picture rather than one outdated source like this episode. Based on the title of your podcast you are doing a disservice to your listeners. I’m all for having fun and keeping it positive but this podcast doesn’t seem to take things serious. Stating that you would like to be stronger but demonstrating that you do not have enough understanding to support current levels of muscle makes me wonder why you think that this podcast holds value.

The information provided here about chronic inflammation is current, well cited, and presented in a very clear and entertaining manner. Kudos!

Guys, I feel like you’re moving away from your standard format of objectively taking stock of peer reviewed science, including detailed interviews with their authors, to this vague dialogue that seems to draw more on anecdotal evidence or personal experiences. With your upcoming season, please return to the old format. Thank you!
