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.
