During my doctoral program, I spent a significant amount of time with firefighters who were constantly running on empty due to their grueling schedules. Seeing how their performance took a nosedive from […]

We all know that protein is the critical macronutrient for maintaining and building muscle mass. By consuming high-quality proteins, we can be assured we are getting all the essential amino acids required for the synthesis of protein. Intense exercise—specifically resistance training—is fundamentally anabolic, supporting adaptations in skeletal muscle fiber size and ultimately lean body mass.

Did you know that after you turn 30, you can lose as much as three to five percent of your muscle mass every decade? The loss of muscle mass, strength and function as you get older is called sarcopenia, and it’s a natural part of aging—as is the loss of bone density. While you can’t

Protein is considered to be an essential nutrient, which means that it must be consumed through diet because

Creatine is a well-known, highly studied performance ingredient that is an important part of fueling peak performance.
