Today’s episode dives into the science and what research says about: Building muscle while eating at maintenance; Monitoring glucose; Collagen supplementation. Collagen has several benefits for the human body, and supplementing your diet with collagen might benefit training performance. Dr. Brandon explains that collagen is helpful for the tendons, making them thicker and stronger. Blood glucose monitoring is also essential for the active individual, especially if this individual has a diet rich in carbohydrates and wants to optimize their intake to feel more energetic. When it comes to muscle growth, it is important to say that every person is unique, and what works for a beginner might not work for an advanced lifter. Dr. Brandon unpacks the best strategies to build muscle and gain strength in both scenarios: eating at maintenance and eating at a caloric surplus. Tune in to learn more!
