Build Muscle with This Overlooked Micronutrient | D&P Ep. 41

In this episode, we break down a fascinating study on Vitamin D and nutrient partitioning, and how it helps your body turn excess calories into muscle instead of fat by lowering myostatin and boosting leptin sensitivity. Then, we tackle some questions: Will you lose muscle after a week of barely eating due to illness? And what’s the best way to recomp? Plus, we sprinkle in a discussion on parenting and grit—why letting kids struggle a little can actually make them stronger in the long run.Chapters00:00 Taekwondo Story10:00 Understanding Nutrient Partitioning and Vitamin D20:45 The Role of Myostatin in Muscle Growth and Genetics22:30 Understanding Grit and Resilience in Parenting30:00 The Balance of Problem Solving and Independence32:50 Will I Lose Muscle During Illness and Low Calories35:55 Body Recomposition: Strategies and Considerations41:00 Strength Training Guarantees Results42:15 Future Programming Plans43:35 Genetics & Athleticism 49:50 Closing Thoughts and Future TopicsLinks:Join the SquadWebsites:www.strengthbyjaimebarroso.comwww.laselitetraining.comInstagram:@liftwithlauras@strengthbyjaimebarrosoQuestions or comments?
