Why Protein Is So Important!

Ever wonder WHY protein is supposedly SO important for our bodies?

We hear it all the time, especially from people in the bodybuilding industry. "Eat this much protein per pound of bodyweight every day or ELSE!".

Some of these people are right, some are not, but one thing is for sure...protein is a confusing topic and most people just need a little information to better understand the subject.

In this episode, I break down what happens in your body when you eat protein, from a muscle building perspective. I make every effort to present this information in a way that is both scientific and educational WITHOUT sounding too much like a biology lecture. The focus is purely on consumption of dietary protein in order to stimulate protein synthesis and essential amino acid availability at a cellular level.

The main thing to always remember when it comes to protein and muscles is:

Amino Acids are the building blocks of Proteins, and Proteins are the building blocks of muscle mass.

If you can remember that, you're in good shape.Everything else is just filling the gaps and nuances of how it all works discretely.

If you got education, information and/or value out of this podcast episode, please share it with a like minded friend and leave it a review on iTunes!
