Weightlifting or resistance training by itself was by far the most potent stimulus for growth.

And that optimizing protein intake for muscle growth specifically added, it was like 27% more muscle mass and 9% more strength,

which is like reasonable amounts, but very, very small compared to just showing up

and, like you said, moving your body, like resistance training style.

Welcome to the Mastering Diabetes Audio Experience. Today's show is all about protein,

with a specific focus on protein for chronic

disease reversal and those who are looking to lose weight. We cover all of the following topics

in today's show, the history of how protein recommendations were established, whether or not

new science has proven that those recommendations should change.

Protein requirements for people who are looking to lose weight. Protein requirements for older

individuals. The absorption of plant protein versus animal protein. And at the end, we did touch

on protein requirements for athletes. And we also covered a lot of other important

topics about protein. So today's guest is David Goldman. He is a registered dietitian,

strength and conditioning specialist, and researcher. His experience spans NCAA Division

1 strength and conditioning, clinical obesity and fasting research, and corporate health

and performance at locations including Columbia University and Facebook headquarters.

He served as chief science advisor to the Game Changers documentary and is currently a visiting

researcher with the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Helsinki and Director of Research

and Development at Metabyte Incorporated.

So David is a prolific researcher.

And if you haven't seen the Game Changers movie, I highly recommend checking that out.

That's on Netflix.
