Skeletal muscle is the currency of healthy aging; it’s an essential lever in maintaining optimal metabolic health, reducing body fat, and supporting longevity. And a major piece of building and maintaining muscle is protein consumption. Today, I talk with Dr. Don Layman about the science of muscle mass, optimal protein requirements for chronic disease prevention, performance, and much more.
