About this listen

 Discovering True Health is a platform dedicated to bringing you on a journey of discover true health, to not only to find wellness but to thrive. Our mission is to discover the many facets of health and wellness by having conversations with doctors, experts, and scientists from around the world on a wide range of topics. Because each person’s body is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health, we will also learn from others personal health journeys. The show is hosted by Christy Prais, who was severely ill with COVID in early 2020 and suffered for almost 2 years as a Covid-Long Hauler with lung damage and fatigue. She survived only because she bravely took her health into her own hands and never took ”no” for an answer. During this time, it became clear to her that if she didn’t have her health, she had nothing. This started her on a quest to figure out how to heal herself and ensure she never lost her health again. And so, Discovering True Health was born. Christy is now a Health and Wellness Journalist for the Epoch Times and also serves on the advisory board at the Fostering Care Healing School. Our message is one of hope and healing and we are so thrilled you’re joining us!Copyright 2022 All rights reserved. Hygiene & Healthy Living

    Episode 89: Protein and Skeletal Muscles: Keys to Longevity, Preventing Obesity, and Chronic Disease and Cancer
    Jan 10 2024
    Today, we will be learning why our muscular skeletal system may be out most important organ we have and how a Muscle-Centric Nutrition approach contributes to our to health and longevity and can preventing obesity, and other health issues such as cancer. We’ll be looking at the essential roles that protein and amino acids play, optimal dietary protein needs, ideal timing of protein intake, best sources, and everything we need to know about protein synthesis.  My guest is Don Layman, Professor of Food Science and Human Nutrition at one of the top agriculture colleges in the world, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign College of Agricultural.   Don earned his B.S. in Chemistry and M.S. in Biochemistry at Illinois State University and his Ph.D. in Human  Nutrition and Biochemistry at the University of Minnesota, St. Paul.   His research focuses on understanding the protein and amino acid requirements and interrelationship between dietary protein and carbohydrates needed for adult health.   In particular, his research seeks to understand the impact of diet and exercise on obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome in adults.  His work has helped to define the role of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) in skeletal muscle metabolism.   BCAA provide an important energy source for muscle during exercise and also serve as a critical regulator of muscle protein synthesis during recovery.  During exercise, oxidation of BCAA increases, resulting in production of the amino acid alanine and a rapid decline in plasma levels of BCAA.  Amino acid supplements prevent this decline in plasma amino acids, enhance recovery of muscle protein synthesis and interact with insulin to help stabilize blood glucose.  His research continues to define mechanisms for control of muscle protein synthesis and differences in dietary protein needs for men versus women and for adults with sedentary versus active lifestyles.  He’s dedicated over 40 years investigating the intricate role of dietary protein in muscle protein synthesis and the impact of diet and exercise on obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome in adults.  His research has significantly contributed to our understanding of the interplay between nutrition, muscle health, and overall well- being.  Well Learn: The Basics of Protein and Amino Acids and their role in NutritionWhy Leucine, Lysine, and Methionine are Essential Amino Acids and foods we get them fromKey things we need to know about protein synthesisRecommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for Protein, how it was calculated and why it’s not optimalThe optimal amount of protein we need based on Don nLayman researchHow the size and frequency of meals impacts muscle protein synthesis Small meals versus big meals?Specifics around protein intake that should be followed with time restricted eating.How to track their protein intake effectivelyHow to determine the quality of protein sources, what are our best sourcesAnd how factors like absorption rates play a role in protein source selectionDon Laymans thoughts on plant-based and synthetic "meats" in the market from a nutritional standpointHigh Protein Diets for Fat Loss - Results from Clinical TrialsConsequences of Protein Deficiency in Childhood, how it impacts long term healthOptimal protein intake amounts for a childSaturated fat and our healthMuscle-Centric Nutrition PhilosophyThe significance of our muscular skeletal system to health, longevity, preventing obesity, and other health issues such as cancerRole of Muscle in Glucose Storage and Insulin ResistanceThe connection between muscle health, insulin resistance, and the development of diabetes   **To donate/tip our channel, below through our Paypal.
