Bitesize Biohacks - Bitesize Biohack: Protein, Collagen, Muscle & Metabolic Health with Dr Gabrielle Lyon

Angela revisits her interview with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to tell you how much protein you need to gain muscle and how much protein is needed to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. She explains whether you can do this on a vegan or vegetarian diet. Then, goes on to explain the role collagen plays and how it affects your tissue.

Key Takeaways

  • A healthy gut biome can make enough essential amino acids.
  • You need to strategize your eating philosophy to fit in with the demands your body is under e.g. if you want to get lean again after a pregnancy you are going to have to eat differently than when you were pregnant.
  • Have a structured training plan that hits each body part twice a week. You can train fast, but you do need to refuel too.
  • Collagen does not do a lot for muscle, but it is still very beneficial in other ways. But you have to get the dose right. How to do this is explained in the podcast.

Best Moments

‘Carbs are not the issue because you are doing the right training’

‘There are really good strategies that stand the test of time’

‘The data is clear, it is about volume and exertion’

‘Human behaviour is incredibly predictable. You have to know your weakness.’
