  • Too many times politics play a role

    Dr David Katz’s mention of Harvard and losing funding was blandly political and had nothing to do with the dietary guidelines. It’s laughable to claim this administration is overtly threatening. Having worked under Biden and Obama and its co-opting of the federal law enforcement agencies is again laughable. You as well as your guests have an agenda as everyone has an agenda. The propaganda and pushing of your own ‘“intel” is admirable but as usual not objective. All of us have biases but it whet... more

  • Really good and I hope nuanced

    I was so excited to find this podcast at first, but the episode with Drew veered into disappointing. I’ve been a vegan, vegetarian, and omnivore at different times in my life. I don’t want to hear reductive thinking about nutrition or ethics that pretends any option is better. Hoping for a more nuanced perspective (for example, can someone afford meat from a local small farm vs vegan alternatives with many ingredients shipped all over the world? Or look up the horrors of sugar plantations that r... more

  • Wow! Totally Biased

    So disappointed that I had to listen to anti-Trump “scientists” purporting that SNAP limitations will cause more disease. Like seriously???? SNAP is a food subsidy not a junk food freebie.

Building muscle for longevity | Dr Brad Schoenfeld and Alan Aragon

A minimum effective dose routine would be two to three days a week, one to two sets of major muscle group exercises, focusing on effort near failure.

Q: Alan, would you say over the course of your career, has your appreciation for the role of nutrition and exercise with regards to the aging process, has that been something that you've become more interested in?
Yes, as chronological age marches forward, you start thinking more about the statistics of muscle mass reducing about half a percent a year starting at age 40.
