EP364: What you need to know about Protein, Supplements, and more

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. In this podcast, Dr. Warrick Bishop welcomes back Alastair Horscroft to discuss the importance of protein and amino acids in maintaining health, particularly as one ages. Alastair shares his journey from a vegetarian diet, which he believes hindered his athletic performance, to incorporating protein supplements like whey protein, which significantly improved his physical abilities. They emphasize the necessity of consuming adequate protein, recommending about 1 gram per pound of ideal body weight for optimal health. Alastair explains the distinction between protein and amino acids, stressing that amino acids are the essential building blocks for hormones, enzymes, and neurotransmitters.
