Episode 21: Protein, Gainz and the ISSN with Dr. Jose Antonio

Joey Antonio has been a positive force in my life since 2013 when I first heard of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN).  It took me a couple of years to get up the courage to get involved, and I attended my first conference in 2015 and finally had the guts to introduce myself to him and now Dr. Katie Hirsch (episode 18) in 2016.In episode 21, we talk about his renegade career as a sports scientist (he really angered a few people along the way), his protein and protein supplementation research, and our favorite topic, the ISSN.Dr. Antonio earned his Ph.D. and completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. He is the CEO and co-founder of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, as well as the co-founder of the Society for Neurosports. He is an Associate Professor in Exercise and Sport Science at Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida. His research agenda includes work on high-protein diets, sports neuroscience, and sports supplements. He is also the author of 15 books and over 100 peer-reviewed publications.So what, now what?Protein is a powerful macronutrient and should not be feared!  But...exercise is the most critical factor in overall health, so if you're not moving, GET MOVING!Check out the ISSNRegister for the 2023 conference June 15-17.  Why go anywhere else!?!*****Register for 7-Minute Science herePurchase FRW Swag hereGet on the Waitlist for Building Your Career in FireFollow Fire Rescue Wellness on the socials...IG | LinkedIn | TwitterDiscount Code:FRW20 at Fluid NutritionAffiliate LinksCheck out my Fringe Affiliate LinkCheck out my TryCreate Affiliate Link (20% off your order)!Check out my ChiliSleep Affiliate Link (15% off your order)!Please rate, share, and subscribe to the podcast!
