What? You haven’t watched “Settling the PROTEIN debate! Finding where Reality Meets Science®” with Professors @GardnerPhD and @mackinprof ?!! Don’t be silly! Watch it NOW💪🏽 And please share 🙏🏽😊 youtu.be/KVHg8paCL9I?si… via @YouTube @ACLifeMed @DrDavidKatz @NEOM
Conference: Inter-individual variation in exercise. Please join! The speakers include e.g. @mackinprof @AbigailMackey1 @MarcasBamman @HornbergerLab @DrMikeRoberts @BradSchoenfeld @MarkusPerola G Nader, E Sillanpää, A Hecksteden, W Derave, P Atherton! tinyurl.com/34xzsdss
Plenary session @E_C_S_S with @mackinprof on Mechanisms of Human Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy: Sorting the Wheat from the Chaff. Still a lot to learn about the mechanisms of hypertrophy but one thing's for sure: resistance training works💪 #keeplifting
At the @E_C_S_S 2025 meeting in Rimini, Italy, @AbigailMackey1 is in the plenary session, Mechanisms of Human Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy with her talk “Don’t forget, hypertrophy is not just for the beach - the structural and cellular drivers & facilitators of hypertrophy”

Protein per se is not the issue; it clearly must be something in plants (or not) or something in animal proteins (or not). However, higher SES is generally associated with better health behaviours, which are often related to more plants and plant protein. I doubt animal = plant
I suspect plant protein probably correlates with an overall better diet, meaning more fiber, polyphenols, etc. If we could isolate the effects of each type of protein, could animal = plant?
Vaccines are the greatest invention in human history
It is a pleasure to be invited to speak at @Aspetar's 25th World Conference: Precision Athlete Health and Performance, 9–11 October 2025 aspetar.com/en/professiona… #athletehealth #injury #recovery #protein #creatine #omega3 #muscle #tendon #bone
«Rara vez (o nunca) la proteína es realmente limitante [para tu músculo/fuerza]». He añadido una posdata en mi texto "¿Me falta proteína?", con un post de @mackinprof en su Instagram ("How much protein do you need to maximize your gainz?). juliobasulto.com/proteina/
Any actual human data supporting low(er) protein intakes and protein 'deprivation' as having any consequential effect on human health? "Too much" protein is a relative term. 0.8 was set using a crummy method! Perhaps @nntaleb would like to read sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Medical data alert. There is no evidence-based backing to such Attia-like recommendation of > .8 g (see @EricTopol). Too much protein hinders, among other things autophagy; episodic protein deprivation is present in many protocols (e.g. Valter Longo's).
Event registration is essential and we ask you to only sign up should you intend to attend due to limited space. We will also host a reception afterwards. And while you are there, why not sign up for the 3 day conference on the biology of ageing 😉 bsra.org.uk/events/74th-an…
Professor Phillips will present a talk titled “Dietary Protein in Optimal Ageing – The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth”. The event link sign up is here: …tyforresearchonageing.beaconforms.com/form/68c7091f.
