The quest to build muscle efficiently and sustainably, especially as we age, required a deep dive into both nutritional science and exercise physiology. The foundation for muscle growth lies not only in how you train but also in what you fuel your body with. Through research and personal experimentation, I discovered the intricate balance between protein, fats, and carbohydrates in fueling the body for muscle gain and efficient recovery. It’s not just about lifting weights; it’s about how those weights are lifted and the quality of the nutrition supporting that effort.
