  1. Omg! A man after my own heart! ❤ He's saying exactly what I've been trying to convince people of on various platforms; and so many are resistant to this idea. They are so tuned into this PLANT BASED dialog, with no mention of our protein needs, especially as we age. And yes, the protein RDA is woefully in need of an update - established in 1940's and was only ever meant to be the MINIMUM amount of protein to stay alive! Got my education in this subject via Dr. Gabrielle Lyon MD who practices 'muscle-centric' medicine in N.Y. he's saying basically word for word, her emphasis on high protein intake AND strength training being imperative as we age. He is just so on point here, IMO, and I like what he has to say about importance of veggies as well.

  2. Melissa Moreno - what he said was (I'm paraphrasing)...there's protein, and then there's PROTEIN. Not all protein is the same quality. Also, it's a fact that some types of protein is more bioavailable than other types Animal protein is comprised of all 9 essential amino acids, and this balanced mixed of EAA's is more bioavailable in the body and promotes mTOR (The biopathway our muscles need for muscle protein synthesis). So, basically, we need high quality protein to help maintain our muscle mass - especially as we age. Actually eggs (the whole egg) 8s ine of tge most complete and bioavailable sources if protein available to us. So, lacto-ovo vegetarians (vegetarians who eat eggs) are getting quality protein in their diet). He did also point out that in middle to older age, our bodies no longer have the growth hormones we relied on for muscle maintenance that we enjoyed in our youth, so as we age we need to rely more and more on quality protein to maintain muscle mass. Skeletal muscle is especially important for the body, without it we become immobile. Most people don't realize muscle is an organ, and it not only keeps us mobile, it plays a huge role in maintaining a healthy metabolism. So, yes, younger people can eat vegan (no eggs) perfectly fine (with health muscle mass) because they have their growth hormones and don't need to rely on high quality protein to help maintain their muscle mass. But without consuming high quality protein in middle to older age muscle beging to dwindle. Vegetables have fiber and lots of micronutrients that animal protein does not have, so consuming vegetables is also very important for a healthy microbiome/healthy digestion and vitamuns/minerals lacking in animal protein. Yes, plants do contain some mix of protein, but again, it's not the same high quality protein (missing key essential amino acids) as animal protein.

  3. Totally agree...low protein as a recipe for disaster. Very refreshing to hear someone - who knows- come out and say this...rather than the cuurrent, trendy & endless 'plant based' dialog.
