Episode Summary: 

In this episode, the boys sit down with Dr. Bill Campbell, pHD, a preeminent researcher in the field of nutrition and dietetics. 

 

Dr. Campbell is on a mission to help dispel common myths around nutrition and resistance training so that his clients, and the larger community he impacts, doesn’t waste time on diets or regimens that don’t work, and rather… educates themselves on science-based interventions for health and optimization. 

 

In this episode, Dr. Campbell takes the time to detail the impact of protein on musculoskeletal health, training performance, and recovery. Furthermore, he offers guidelines on how much protein to eat, and when, in order to help achieve goals for performance and body fat reduction.

Key Definitions: 

Protein: 
Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

 

Leucine:  
Leucine is one of the 3 essential branched chain amino acids. These amino acids can be used by skeletal muscle to give energy during exercise. 

 

Thermic Effect of Food: 
The thermic effect of food (TEF) is the amount of energy it takes for your body to digest, absorb, and metabolise the food you eat.

 

Creatine: 
Creatine is a naturally occurring non-protein compound and the primary constituent of phosphocreatine, which is used to regenerate ATP within the cell.

 

Creatine Kinase: 
Creatine kinase (CK), formerly known as creatine phosphokinase, is an intracellular enzyme present in greatest amounts in skeletal muscle, myocardium, and brain; smaller amounts occur in other visceral tissues.
