In this podcast, I talk with well known researcher Dr. Stephan Van Vliet about his research looking at the best foods for building muscle tissue and phytonutrient content in grass-fed beef vs grain fed beef. In This Episode: Find out what came out from Dr. Van Vliet’s research on isolated proteins versus whole food-based proteins [08:34] Why do athletes get the majority of their daily proteins from whole food sources? [09:09] Learn how the whole food matrix is impacting the muscle protein synthetic response and metabolism [12:13] Understand the main difference between whole milk and skimmed milk [15:29] Hear Dr. Van Vliet’s recommendations for someone who wants to optimize their muscle protein synthesis and recovery from exercise [16:30] Discover the controversial role of DHA and APA in dealing with chronically elevated insulin [23:30] Compare how the phytonutrients we are getting from direct consumption of plants differ from consuming plants through grass-fed animals [40:23] --->To listen, go to Apple iTunes, Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts and find the latest episode of the Dr Jockers Functional Nutrition podcast. #grassfed #redmeat #nutrition #healthyfood #phytonutrients #cows
