Get stronger to live longer with Professor Stuart Phillips

In Episode 190 I sit down with Professor Stuart Phillips to discuss the importance of exercise, nutrition and recovery in building muscle and improving strength. A pursuit that's not only important to bodybuilders and athletes, but all of us wishing to maintain a high quality of life as we age.

Specifically we cover:

Importance of fitness and resistance training for healthy ageing

What’s happening at the cellular level during resistance training and muscle growth

The key aspects of recovery

What is protein and why it’s important for building muscle

How amino acids work

The optimum amount of protein we should be consuming

Risks associated with overconsumption of protein

How important protein source is (animal versus plant)

and plenty more

Resources:

The previous episode with scientist Hamilton Roschel that we referred to in this episode comparing animal to plant protein in a group of young healthy adults performing resistance training

Previous episode with Dr Matthew Nagra on protein
