S2_EP_16: Protein, Metabolism and Research: Interview with Eric Williamson from Unlocked Fitness
Episode Notes:Eric’s background and how he got into protein metabolismWhat are main things you look at from a mechanistic standpoint and why should we careBackground on nitrogen balance - pros and consEssential vs. nonessential amino acidsAcute vs. chronic studiesThe importance of resistance training and nutrition, especially as we ageAnabolic resistanceDeuterated water tracer techniqueOptimal protein amount at one timeProtein and fastingAutophagyProtein recommendation for older adultsEnhanced MPS through continual movement during the dayhttps://www.unlockedfitnessandnutrition.com"I realized that I misspoke on the podcast when talking about the deuterated water tracer technique. There is one point where I said "it has an extra hydrogen". It doesn't, the hydrogens already on the water are isotopes. Everything I say after that is correct about the hydrogen of D2O being the tracer which finds its way onto amino acids through metabolic processes." - Eric If you like what you just heard, sign up for my email newsletter to make sure you see all of my health and wellness tips!
