The new guidelines, the high level.

Can you share some of those recommendations now?

Why do you think, from your perspective, has protein not been addressed previously?

They increased the protein by 50% to 100%, which is extraordinary.

And to highlight, the 0.8 grams per kg was based on the RDA.

Well, it's based on nitrogen balance to inform the RDA.

Can you just speak to that really quickly?

And I was listening to the press conference, and Marty McCary was talking about how it was based on nitrogen balance and that we don't have any valuable health outcomes that we know of based on a nitrogen balance.

Do you agree with that?

Right.

One of the other things that I heard Kennedy mention was this idea of we're going to use rigorous science.

So perhaps in the past, the old guidelines were not based on high-quality evidence.

And what they were really trying to do is then think about health outcomes and then high-quality data to support health outcomes, somewhat in a macronutrient, from a macronutrient perspective.

Thank you to Timeline for sponsoring today's episode.

As we step into the new year, we're all thinking about routines, what to start, what to stop, and what to finally commit to.

But the body doesn't respond to resolutions.

It responds to consistency.

And lasting health isn't built on trends.

It's built on fundamentals.

quality nutrition, resistance training, recovery, and cellular energy.
