How Much Protein Should I Be Consuming?
Research shows that protein requirements vary significantly based on individual factors. The outdated RDA of 0.8g/kg was established to prevent deficiency, not to optimize health or performance.
Modern research suggests active individuals benefit from 1.6-2.2g of protein per kilogram of body weight. Athletes and those in a caloric deficit may need even more to preserve muscle mass.

Our TA is our deepest core muscle. You can think of it like a corset that wraps around our midline, with the muscles fibres running from side to side rather than vertically up and down. It’s job is to quietly create stability. In fact, the TA (should) switch on before you even move, and without you thinking about it.
Research has shown that in healthy people, the TA activates a fraction of a second before you move your arms or legs. It is your bodies way of preparing the spine for movement before you lift, bend, reach or walk.
The Case for Cardio
After the age 50, your hippocampus shrinks by 1 to 2% per year. And so, if my math is right, by the time you turn 65 if this shrinkage happens consistently, an average hippocampus will have shrunk to 86% of it’s original size, or 14% smaller. Scary right?
If only there was something we could do to slow down or reverse this decline!!!
