Dr. Luc van Loon is a Professor of Physiology of Exercise and Nutrition and Head of the M3-research group at the Department of Human Biology at Maastricht University. Luc has an international research standing in the area of skeletal muscle metabolism, has published well over 500 peer-reviewed articles (more than 30.000 citations) achieving an H-index of 92 (Web of Science profile). Current research in his laboratory focuses on the skeletal muscle adaptive response to physical (in)activity, and the impact of nutritional and pharmacological interventions to modulate metabolism in both health and disease. The latter are investigated on a whole-body, tissue, and cellular level, with skeletal muscle as the main tissue of interest. To support the use of stable isotopes in biomedical research, Luc is also scientific coordinator of the Stable Isotope Research Centre (SIRC) at Maastricht University Medical Centre+.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina.
0:05.5	Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host, Vanessa. And I am so excited for today's episode.
0:13.7	We have one of the world's top protein scientist, Dr. Luke Van Loon, at the University of Mostridge in the Netherlands.
0:22.1	Joining us today, I have been anticipating this interview for many months and I'm incredibly
0:28.7	honored that Dr. Loon made the time to be here with us on the podcast.
0:33.4	He doesn't do a lot of podcasts.
0:35.4	He mostly has done Peter Atia's The Drive, which I love that interview.
0:39.7	He was recently on Dr. Rhonda Patrick's, found my fitness.
0:44.1	And today he's with us on the Optimal Protein podcast.
0:47.4	So I'm incredibly honored to have him on the podcast.
0:50.8	And I feel like I pretty much could retire the podcast after this episode because I
0:56.2	got so many of my most lingering protein and exercise questions answered on this episode.
1:04.7	We talk a lot about how muscle protein synthesis is activated, whether you need 20 grams of protein or more if you consume
1:15.1	5 or 10 or even 15 grams.
1:18.2	What does that do to muscle protein synthesis?
1:20.4	Is it still occurring just at a lower rate?
1:23.5	We talk about the optimal amount of protein to consume if you are in energy restriction or creating a caloric deficit or if you are in doing any kind of fat loss or intermittent fasting.
1:34.3	What you can do to make sure that you don't lose any muscle.
1:38.5	We talk about protein timing and protein distribution for women specifically. We talk about low protein diets and what happens.
1:48.5	We talk about people optimizing their body composition and their muscle at different stages
1:54.8	of life and at different hormone levels and so much more.
2:00.0	And we even talk about what Dr. Lund does himself for fat loss. And it
