410. Age Strongly with Lee Labrada: Protein & Fitness Secrets for Thriving After 40

Buckle up for an insightful ride with the legendary Lee Labrada, a fitness icon and the founder of Labrada Nutrition. In this episode, Lee and I will dive deep into the world of nutrition, training, and unlocking your body's full potential – especially after hitting that pivotal 40-year mark. Prepare to have your perspectives shifted as we share game-changing strategies like protein pacing (spreading your intake throughout the day for optimal muscle maintenance and recovery), scaling down the importance of the scale number (focus on how your body looks and feels instead), and the vital role of resistance training for metabolic health when combined with adequate protein. You'll gain invaluable wisdom on ideal protein intake, muscle maintenance as we age, and Lee's thoughts on intermittent fasting. Lee unpacks the secrets to maximizing protein absorption, unveils his top tips for weight training after 40 (hint: no need for endless cardio!), and even dishes on the evolution of protein options – from whole foods to the shakes we love today. Plus, find out how to pick the right supplements and learn about Labrada Nutrition's mission to empower your health journey.
