And so for a primary care physician who this isn't their specialty and they see this go up and they say, oh, Well, it's outside of the reference range. Maybe I should send you to a nephrologist. And that's the last that they see of that patient. But in their mind, they did the right thing because they sent the person off to get checked.

Right. And that is the right move if you don't know exactly what the answer is. I mean, that's the sign of a good doctor. When you don't know, refer out to somebody that knows. But we see these issues because...

of the misinterpretation that's going around and then you hear it second hand and third hand and it kind of gets passed around and so like a lot of things yeah and so i want to emphasize to people that you know these high protein intakes if you start to do it because you're you're really being sold on the message of i need to build some lean muscle drew's story has has you know inspired you to start to build some lean muscle of your own

Don't get overly concerned about protein, especially in the ranges that we've recommended here today, because unless you have a current pathology that would cause problems, there's no research out there that suggests that this is going to be an issue.

I have answers to this and I'm trying to think about how I want to determine this because When I have this conversation with a person, if somebody comes up to me and they say, what's the minimum amount that I can do to build lean muscle? My first response is typically not the road answer. It's what are you willing to do right now to get into the gym and actually do this weekly?

And I think that that's probably a more productive way to look at it. Because even if you just get in for two days a week, 45 minutes, you start to build that habit. You will get stronger. I mean, if you do literally anything as a person that's never done it before, you're going to start to get a little bit stronger.

Now, is that going to max out and you're not going to continue after a certain point? Probably. But I think that for a person that really wants to start their journey, the right answer is, what am I willing to do right now? What fits within my schedule? And what can I sustain for at least a certain period of time and then start to work from there?

The technical answer is at least somewhere around four working sets taken close to failure in a muscle group should be able to build lean muscle if you're looking for the bare minimum.
