Summary

Stephan is a PostDoc researcher in the Center for Human Nutrition at Washington University School of Medicine. Stephan’s research is focused on muscle metabolism.

Stephan completed his PhD research at the University of Illinois, examining the regulation of postprandial protein metabolism after food ingestion and exercise.

In This Episode We Discuss
Do nutrient-dense whole foods have a different anabolic response to isolated protein?
Stephan’s study: 18g protein from whole eggs vs. 18g protein from egg whites, which showed superior MPS response for whole eggs.
Implications of higher nitrogen retention
Hypothesis that higher protein intakes (closer to 3 g.kg) may impart a benefit for immune function in athletes engaged in very intense training?
Is there a dampened anabolic response to protein feeding in overweight/obese people?

I would like to do some more research on whole foods.

0:14.6

Honestly, I think the nutrient density of the diet is very important.

0:19.4

Not just from looking at it, because obviously maybe the listeners for the show and also

0:24.5

for me, I'm being into lifting weights myself.

0:29.8

I was interested in how can we optimize the muscle protecetic response, but also from a

0:34.5

broader health perspective, arguably looking at some of the nutrient components

0:41.3

and whole foods and how to modulate the health,

0:43.3

because arguably a healthy athlete is also a well-before-being athlete. Hello and welcome to another episode of Sigma Nutrition Radio.

1:09.8

We are checking in at episode 230 of the podcast,

1:13.9

so we're moving along nicely at the moment. And very welcome to the show, whether you are a

1:19.1

long time regular listener, or perhaps this could be your first episode you're listening to.

1:23.9

You are very welcome. Today, I've got a really, really exciting episode, well, at least to me, this is a particularly

1:31.1

interesting area and one that I'm fascinating to see more research on, and hopefully you

1:36.0

agree with that.

1:37.1

But before we get straight into things, a couple of things that I wanted to bring to the

1:41.5

attention of those of you who perhaps listen

1:44.6

regularly and are kind of regular listeners to the podcast and a few ways that you might be able

1:50.4

to help the show and support the show and continue this kind of great upward trend we've had

1:55.8

and the kind of success that the podcast has had to date largely because of you and the support you show it.

2:01.9

So if you either haven't been able to get around to doing so formally yet or it slipped

2:06.6

your mind, I completely understand and it's very easy to.

2:09.7

But if you have been listening for quite a while and you do get value from the show and you
