Dr. Chris McGlory is an Assistant Professor at Queen’s University, Canada having completed Postdoctoral Fellowships at McMaster University, Canada under the supervision of Dr. Stuart Phillips. Chris specializes in the use of stable isotopic tracers to track skeletal muscle protein turnover during periods of fasting, feeding, training, and immobilization. Currently, his lab is focused on exploring how omega-3 fatty acid and essential amino acid intake protect against muscle disuse atrophy. Chris has published over 60 scientific papers and has delivered numerous invited national and international presentations at many prestigious scientific meetings.

1:22.6	This conversation was absolutely wonderful.
1:25.8	We discussed how much omega-3 fatty acids someone should use,
1:31.8	the mechanism of action, how it can actually protect your skeletal muscle from disuse,
1:40.2	and what is its role in overall skeletal muscle health? And so much more. Chris is a wealth of knowledge,
1:48.6	and again, this is a very important nutrient, omega-3 fatty acids. It's something that we can
