I have increased my protein, but it is very difficult for me to get 120 grams. I only eat fish for animal protein. However, since I began tracking my protein intake, which is about up to 90-100 grams per day, I have noticed an improvement in muscle growth and tone which is shocking considering I am 56 yrs old. I have been working out my entire life and have stayed at my weight between 120-125 so was in good shape when I started this. I am sure that is why I saw results in about a 3 month period. Oh I also increase my weights by 5 - 10 lbs in most exercises and lift about 4-5 days per week. I always hear that when we age... basically forget it. you have no muscle and it is depleting quickly. The truth is.. WE decide how much muscle we have by what we DO. Age is not a factor if you do the right things. Don't believe that nonsense and throw in the towel.
Do you incorporate pea protein shakes to get your protein up another 20grams? Egg whites (if you do) or tofu, seitan, or beans? But 100 grams is great regardless. I take in 140, but I include chicken and egg whites too.
Once again I have to thank both of you for illuminating certain aspects of performance and recovery, I will now experiment with this( Taurine) in my work where I do high intensity bouts of pulling up to 6 people in a bike taxi for about 7 minutes to the front gate of Oracle park for a Giant game in SanFrancisco, at age 77.
Thank you for always having such great guests & content!! I've been watching Thomas for years and he's so good at explaining the science behind the health literature - what it is and why & how it affects us. He is never afraid of changing his opinion or stance on something when he sees that science substantiates it! He is sensible, sweet, genuine and most importantly, especially in this field, honest & dependable... he rocks - and so do you Gabrielle!! :)
Listening to and watching both of you is like watching my favorite series. The knowledge basis and experience between you guys is unreal, you guys complement each other so well!
Thomas DeLauer's statement "Theacrine, a combination of caffeine and theanine, provides the benefits of caffeine" about theacrine seems to contain a misunderstanding. Theacrine is not a combination of caffeine and theanine. Instead, it is a distinct purine alkaloid found naturally in certain plants, such as the Camellia assamica var. kucha. While structurally similar to caffeine and offering similar stimulatory effects, theacrine is a unique compound with its own properties. Theacrine, chemically known as 1,3,7,9-tetramethyluric acid, is a purine alkaloid found in certain plants, most notably in the leaves of the Camellia assamica var. kucha tea plant, as well as in Cupuaçu fruit (Theobroma grandiflorum) and certain types of coffee. Structurally and functionally, theacrine is similar to caffeine, but with some distinct differences in its effects and tolerance development. Theacrine's molecular structure consists of a uric acid backbone with four methyl groups attached to it. This structure is responsible for its activity as a central nervous system stimulant, providing effects such as increased alertness, energy, and mood enhancement. Unlike caffeine, however, theacrine is reported to have a longer half-life in the body, leading to more prolonged effects, and users may not develop tolerance as quickly, meaning its effectiveness could be maintained over more extended periods of use without needing to increase the dose. Due to these properties, theacrine is often used in dietary supplements, particularly in pre-workout formulas and energy products, aimed at enhancing physical performance and mental clarity.
@27:08 he has this completely backwards. I don’t know what form of Carnitine he is talking about, but acetyl L carnitine crosses the BBB very effectively.
At least in animals acetyl-L-Carnitine is better than L-Carnitine and it crosses the BBB just fine. 'Comparison of the effects of L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine on carnitine levels, ambulatory activity, and oxidative stress biomarkers in the brain of old rats' pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15591009/
as someone newly diagnosed with alpha gal syndrome & whom consumed high amounts of red meat, I have been considering ways to fill the gaps of lost nutrients. I've been focused on micros & creatine, although oddly didn't consider L carnitine. Contemplating adding that to my stack. If you could cover nutrient gaps due to red meat allergies that would be a great topic!!
What a Great Dynamic Duo you to Create! This was so enlightening, i needed to change my caffeine approach and i have been looking for solutions! you both greatly impacted my day! THANK YOU!!!!!
10:54 I'm surprised to hear you describe 300g of carbs per day as being "ridiculous". To offer an example for context, the typical, moderately active male requires about 2500 calories per day (obviously, there's a lot of individual variation, but that's a reasonable baseline). A heart-healthy Mediterranean diet, provides about 40-50% of calories from carbs. On a 2500 calorie/day diet, this would equate to around 250-312g of carbs per day. For more active individuals, it would be a bit higher. So 300 per day is not unreasonable. The more important issue would be ensuring those carbs come from high quality sources. But to categorically declare 300g/day as ridiculous or unhealthy, does little more than to promote disordered eating and an unhealthy relationship with food.
@Dave-Z Pretty sure the inference here is that the 'average' person's 300g carbs is NOT gonna be the 'healthy' variety, but rather 'refined'. It's kinda assumed, in this convo, imo. It's well known that body builders eat a high amount of complex carbs (minus the refined sugar load) to reach their caloric target and put on muscle. Unfortunately, the 'average' American is not that bodybuilder type, choosing 'healthy' carbs. With a stat of 40% obesity in the Average U.S. population - I think its pretty safe to say that their 300g daily carb snacking is gonna be the fructose-loaded refined sort of daily carb-load. 😮
300 a day is a lot, I don't eat that in a week. You don't need them. Your body will adapt. I eat 30 ounces of red meat a day and am lean, sleep well, and am strong
You were about to say what to do if someone doesnt have a sauna, but then got cut off and never went back to it. Any tips on what to do if we dont have access to a sauna?
There's a lot of cross over. Training for hypertrophy would naturally make you stronger and it would be hard NOT to increase muscle size with pure strength training.
Red meat can be bad for longevity, the push pull about it is to be worried about Uric acid. Offset it with baking soda, Alkaline water, lemon 🍋. Vegetables will often offset this but those doing lion diet, more carnivore or ketoviore will need to be concerned about offsetting it.
Awesome to see T.DL on someone else's channel! I will say I'm a little suprised by his words on L-carnitine vs acetyl L-carnitine. When I did his 30 day challenge a year ago, he said to take an ALA/ALC supplement. I will say, he is not afraid to change his mind.
Lots of good INFO here but well beyond the detail of what myself and most of us need. Most here just reinforces what most of us already know on how to eat healthy and exercise often also for you health.
Hi, Can someone help me please? I often hear people say you should eat 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. Are they saying 1 gram of protein as in nutritional value, or are they saying 1 gram in weight? So for example, raw ground beef (80% Lean 20% Fat) has 5 grams of protein per ounce. Does this mean, for example, if I only eat ground beef, and I way 150 lbs, in order to eat 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight I need to eat 1.93 lbs (30.88oz) of raw ground beef per day?
If you weigh 150 pounds, eat 150 grams of protein. Chicken has roughly 30 grams per 4 ounces. So you'd need roughly 20 ounces of chicken a day or more. Dont over complicate it.
how come that P. .Attia lost 25 kg of muscle mass. wile doing 6 yrs of . intermittent fasting . but Tom lost 100 lb !! on time restricted fasting & still is in great physical shape
All do respect, Thomas is not a doctor. His opinion on Carnitine is very misinformed. He failed to articulate that the bioavailability through oral consumption of Carnitine is quite low (less than 10%) and that a much better way to administer it is via subcutaneous injection. He also failed to mention how the data show that excess Carnitine consumption can lead to overproduction of certain enzymes that have proven to be at least pre-cancerous at excess dosages (higher than 2g/per day). Please don't cheapen your content with celebrity, "self-made" gurus. You are much better than that.
Yah...for the longest time I thought V-shred was T.D.😂 ...and, was why I decided to listen to nothing DeLaur had to say, AND why I couldnt understand why some of the health scientists I follow would have this dude, DeLauer(aka v-shred) on their fitness podcast😅. Until... I recently came across a podcast 'Mind Pump' (pretty sure) - when the group convo turned to this 'phony' fitness guy we see all over YT, stuffing himself with carbs, e.g., V-shred!

Awesome! Have you tried eating lamb or beef for even more improvements?
@@misse2013Proteins from fish are animal proteins, same as red meat, without the saturated fat. On top of it, you get the Omega-3 fatty acids
Do you incorporate pea protein shakes to get your protein up another 20grams? Egg whites (if you do) or tofu, seitan, or beans? But 100 grams is great regardless. I take in 140, but I include chicken and egg whites too.
I am 72 and can’t anymore muscle mass

if you have an allergy/intolerance to whey, is rice/pea protein isolates a good solution to supplement an omnivorous diet?
How about the oxalate content of green tea, and it's effects on the kidneys...??

Wow right now my thermostat is set at 57 all day.. Does that help?

Great interview! Just a side note.. Tom is the shorthand for Thomas, not Thom.
@DrGabrielleLyon May I know what is most important for muscle-centric medicine: hypertrophy or strenght training? Thank you very much
There's a lot of cross over. Training for hypertrophy would naturally make you stronger and it would be hard NOT to increase muscle size with pure strength training.
I love my infrared sauna. I try for 6 times a week, 30 min sessions. I sweat profusely
you could pick a better iintro tune…Otherwise great content.
So what type of Carnitine?
Red meat can be bad for longevity, the push pull about it is to be worried about Uric acid. Offset it with baking soda, Alkaline water, lemon 🍋. Vegetables will often offset this but those doing lion diet, more carnivore or ketoviore will need to be concerned about offsetting it.

It's actually protein, not the weight of the meat. 1 egg has 6 grams of protein for example.
About someone in their 70’ who wants to put on more muscle mass and see a difference
Thomas is like a college student having a one to one with his tutor who he wishes was more, don't worry Thomas we all are thinking the same thing.

You quoted he keeps in shape..He looks under 50 ..It was easy for me at that age..Let me know how you make out in your 60 plus years. Lol..
Not saying this is not true but all the cold water stuff does not make sense really ...
