Not so patiently waiting for the next session. 🙃 Can't wait to dive into dietary protein and muscle metabolism in healthy aging! #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline

This session is in honor of a recently lost colleague. What a beautiful legacy. #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline

One of the key takeaways from Dr. Paddon-Jones's work is that the American style of eating--backloading protein--is problematic for muscle protein synthesis. The most catabolic period is after the overnight fast. #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline

This has turned into pretty consistent recommendations for optimizing muscle protein synthesis in those at risk of sarcopenia. #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline

The effect in weight loss is not beneficial beyond appropriate diet and resistance exercise. #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline

What about those that really don't like having a high protein breakfast? What if we follow a low protein breakfast (10g) with a supplement (20g) within 2 hours later? #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline

This diet + supplement approach appears successful at least with the whey protein snack (rapidly digested) after a meal to total 30g within a 2 hour window. #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline

Another key? Leucine is crucial for periods of disuse and injury. #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline
