Welcome to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina.

Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host, Vanessa, and I am super pumped

for this episode, quite literally pumped because I just finished a bit of weightlifting.

So my muscles are pumped. But we're also talking about a recent study that shared what is the

most effective way to actually grow muscle. And I'm super excited because I'm actually interviewing

the author of this study in a couple of days. And I'm really excited to ask him about this study

and so many of his other research studies and findings. And this is a little bit of a primer for that

episode. And we're also going to be highlighting all of the key information, the top takeaways

from Monday's interview with the goat of protein nutrition. Dr. Robert Wolfe, literally the greatest

of all time when it comes to protein and amino acid nutrition. I was so honored to get to

connect with him and have him on the podcast. He's been one of my main dream guests since I first

started this podcast and I'm so, so excited to recap some of the big insights, the actionable takeaways.

I can't wait to really share and impart all of this incredible

knowledge with you all. So whether you listen to the interview and you're going to be revisiting

some of the highlights and maybe some that you missed or you didn't have time to listen to the

interview, you're going to get all of the key most important valuable information in this

episode. So I can't wait to get into it with you. And we will jump

right in after this quick break. I want to tell you about a very important nutrient that many of us

are deficient in and not even aware of it. And that nutrient is light and specifically red light.

I am so passionate and obsessed with the incredible amount

of science behind red light therapy's ability to support our mitochondrial health. Now our mitochondria,

as you probably know, are responsible for helping us to do pretty much everything in our bodies
