Get ready for the ULTIMATE masterclass on protein as I host my mentor & PhD advisor, Dr. Donald Layman on the podcast. Not only did Dr. Layman help mentor me through my PhD and shape my rigorous thinking as a scientist, he is also one of the smartest people I’ve ever met. Like me, his Bachelors was in Biochemistry and PhD in Nutritional Science. This uniquely positioned him to understand the deep mechanisms and biochemistry underlying metabolic pathways, while also having a fantastic understanding of how these mechanisms play out on a whole body level.Dr. Layman has published hundreds of peer reviewed journal articles, and many of his graduates have gone on to make big impacts in Academia & Industry, including: Drs Josh & Tracey Anthony, Dr. Jamie Baum, Dr. Suzanne Devkota, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, & more. Last year, Dr. Layman was presented with the American Society for Nutrition’s Lifetime Achievement Award for his incredible body of work.You do not want to miss this deep dive into all things protein with one of the GOATs of Protein and Nutrition.SPONSORS• Outwork Nutrition - Evidence-Based Supplements to Support Your Hard Work: https://outworknutrition.com• Physique Coaching Academy - Advanced Coaching and Nutrition Education for Personal Trainers: https://physiquecoachingacademy.comLAYNE'S COMPANIESCarbon Diet Coach: https://joincarbon.com/podcastOutwork Nutrition: https://outworknutrition.comREPS Research Review: https://biolayne.com/repsWorkout Builder: https://biolayne.com/workout-builderTeam Biolayne: https://biolayne.com/online-coachingPhysique Coaching Academy: https://physiquecoachingacademy.comFOLLOW LAYNEhttp://www.facebook.com/laynenortonhttp://www.twitter.com/biolaynehttp://www.instagram.com/biolayneTIMESTAMPS0:00:00 - Intro0:03:28 - Dr. Layman0:04:18 - Study Design Flaws0:07:13 - Dr. Layman's Background0:12:06 - Understanding Micro and Macro0:15:40 - How Much Protein Per Day?0:27:26 - Why Does Age Matter?0:36:01 - Outwork Nutrition0:37:29 - Basics of mTOR0:43:20 - Leucine and BCAAs0:49:58 - Protein Quality (Plant vs Animal)1:09:43 - Carnivore Diet1:15:34 - Calories are the Most Important Metric1:23:50 - Protein Distribution1:38:36 - Physique Coaching Academy1:39:57 - Biggest Contribution to Field of Nutrition1:41:31 - Advice for Young Scientists1:46:28 - Beliefs That Changed Over Time1:53:03 - Staying Objective with Nutrition1:55:27 - ConclusionSHOW NOTEShttps://biolayne.com/podcasts/dr-layne-norton-podcast/protein-masterclass-with-my-phd-advisor-dr-donald-layman-episode-4/
