Dr. Stuart Phillips

What this episode covers

In this episode, Brendan is joined by Dr. Stuart Phillips, one of the world’s leading researchers in skeletal muscle physiology and protein metabolism.He’s a professor in the Department of Kinesiology at McMaster University, where he has spent decades studying how muscle adapts to exercise, how protein supports that process, and how these factors influence health across the lifespan.Dr. Phillips has published hundreds of scientific papers in this area, and his work has played a major role in shaping current thinking on protein requirements, muscle health, aging, and resistance training.More recently, he chaired the updated resistance training position stand from the American College of Sports Medicine, helping define how we think about strength training and physical performance today.He’s known for bringing a clear, evidence-based perspective to topics that are often oversimplified in the public space—and for helping bridge the gap between physiology and practical application.Ask us a video question! https://ask-a-question.lifestylerx.ca More info: https://community.lifestylerx.io/c/the-path-podcast/
