Discrete periods of loss from which there is no recovery, because at the later points in life, it becomes very difficult to make those recoveries.

All of this, of course, points back to where we're going today, which is

When you are young, and young is 40, 50, even 60, you have to build up as much physiologic headroom as possible.

You have to prepare for the rainy day because the rainy day is coming.

It's not a question of if, it's simply a question of when and exactly in what fashion it will be delivered.

But you must prepare for this.

You must steel yourself for what is coming.

And you must build up as much muscle mass and strength and cardiovascular fitness as you can muster because the longer you can ride it out, the better you're going to be.

We've just talked about not going backwards, right?

Yeah.

That's an interesting point.

Yep.

Yeah.

I mean, I'd like to talk about harm down the line as we get further up the chain, because we've now just, I like the way we're talking about this, where we're going from sort of the 0.8 up to 1.2.

And now let's talk about going from 1.2 to 1.6 and 1.6 to two.

And as you continue this

journey, let's say you look at the data of which there are some studies looking at three grams per kilogram per day, which I think anybody who looks at the data would argue you're not really getting a benefit at three grams per day that you aren't getting at two grams per day.

The curve is saturating.

You're hitting an asymptote of muscle protein synthesis at that point.

So there may be other reasons a person would choose to consume that much protein, satiety and things of that nature.
