The Evolving Nature of the Microbiome Summary: The microbiome is evolving to survive the environment and food it is exposed to, leading to a fluid nature. Traveling to different countries and consuming their food can rapidly change one's microbiome. Unlike human genomics, the microbiome is highly mutable and can be readily impacted, making it an exciting field with significant health implications.
What is almost NEVER communicated to people is how a person’s metabolism tends to “speed up” when they eat more food.

Dietary cholesterol (a type of fat) has been shown to positively influence strength and muscle growth in some studies. Other studies show that consuming a whole egg with all of its cholesterol is far more effective at producing a muscle building environment than consuming an equal amount of protein without the cholesterol.

Eating TOO MUCH protein will hinder your muscle gains by making it VERY difficult to eat enough calories. This is because protein is satiating and isn’t very palatable.

The Importance of Protein and Quality of Protein Sources Summary: Protein is crucial for satiety and can prevent overeating. Consuming a high amount of quality protein is recommended, as protein quality, assessed by bioavailable essential amino acids, is essential. The source of protein matters, as factors like creatine, taurine, carnitine, bioavailable iron, zinc, and selenium also contribute to overall health. The fixation on protein quantity overlooks the importance of these individual amino acids and other crucial nutrients in the food matrix. Food labels often only display protein content, which can be misleading due to nitrogen-based calculations. Transparent conversations are necessary about dietary choices, ensuring the focus is on high-quality protein sources for health benefits.
