This Friday’s episode is a detailed solo recap of my interview with world-renowned protein researcher Dr. Stuart Phillips. In this science-packed conversation, we busted some of the most persistent and misleading myths in women’s fitness, protein metabolism, and muscle growth. From fears around mTOR and kidney health to the truth about cycle syncing and menopause, this episode is all about clarity, confidence, and facts.
If you’ve ever been confused by conflicting advice online — especially around how women “should” train or eat protein — this one’s for you.
TOP 12 MYTHS: The RDA for protein, high protein diets & kidneys or bones, mTOR activation is bad for longevity, building muscle during your luteal phase, timing rules for protein and fasting, do women need less protein than men, muscle loss and menopause, lifting heavy vs moderate to get results and much more!
Dr. Phillips brings research-backed clarity to all of these claims — including findings from his lab and collaborations with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple. Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond, this episode will empower you to focus on what actually works.
