Protein. Muscle Insurance.
Mobility, capability, and quality of life all depend on one thing: muscle. As we age, preserving it becomes increasingly critical.
In this episode, we explore why protein is the ultimate “muscle insurance,” the benefits of getting it right, and how much you really need. We break down the different types of protein powders (they’re not all equal), the key role of leucine, and what science says about protein’s role in aging well.
Whether you’re choosing between whey, casein, plant-based, or blends, you’ll learn how to fuel your body for strength and longevity.
