Physiologically Speaking The Science of Protein Quality with Dr. Joseph Matthews

In this conversation, I chat with Dr. Joseph Matthews. He’s a postdoctoral research fellow in Geriatrics and Protein Metabolism, a physiologist, and a nutritionist.
Joe just authored a review paper on protein quality, in which he and his coauthors define protein quality, what determines it, and why some of the methods we currently use to measure protein quality are outdated (and how we could do better).
You’ll learn the highest quality sources of protein, nuances around protein timing and quantity, whether animal or plant proteins are best, and more.

Joe also just started writing on Substack - so check him out!
