Julia Cartwright investigates the so-called "anabolic window," revealing why the thirty-minute post-workout protein rush is largely marketing fiction.

This myth-busting journey reveals how reasonable scientific hypotheses became oversimplified marketing messages that have confused generations of fitness enthusiasts.
