These arms, believe it or not, were made in the kitchen, NOT the weight room! (Well... 30% in the weight room 😉) Comment the word KITCHEN and I will share a video with you where reveal the foods I eat EVERY WEEK! Most people think they just need to lift more to build muscle, but the truth is, without enough protein, your body can’t do the real work: muscle protein synthesis (aka building new muscle). And as we age, we experience something called anabolic resistance, which makes it harder to extract and use amino acids from protein. That means: you need MORE protein, not less. Here’s what I recommend: ➡️ Prioritize protein: 1.2–2.0 g/kg/day to spare muscle. (Go toward the higher end if you’re trying to build muscle, lose fat, or eat more plant-based.) ✅ Focus on clean, lean animal proteins like: - Grass-fed, grass-finished beef - Pastured poultry & eggs - Wild-caught salmon (my personal fave) - Greek-style yogurt - And of course—protein shakes (my go-to protein hack) 👉 Pro tip: Eat your protein first at meals, and track your intake with a food scale or app. If you’re just ramping up your protein, use a protein-specific digestive enzyme to support absorption.
