Your in jest post highlights the need for such specialized nutritionists who are constantly evaluating and incorporating the latest discoveries.
The human body can only absorb & utilize a given amount of protein over a given amount of time. So more protein quickly ceases to be more muscle--just more expensive poop (or worse, screwing up other bodily systems)!
Today's sports nutrition is about tricking the body's natural processes to greater efficiency without creating new problems, while maximizing and coordinating supporting factors such as hydration, sleep, mental health, and 24-hour metabolic cycle around each type of exercise. On a day-to-day basis, it's kinda like designing a battleship--improvements in one area require borrowing from another area. The trick is to manage it over time so that the called for improvements have been made in all areas by a certain date.
But the nutritionist has to accurately understand each athlete's body & metabolism down to the cellular level, and then understand each athlete's psychology, so that she's pressing the right buttons to get each athlete into the most conducive frame of mind. The more we learn about human anatomy, physiology, and cellular metabolism... the greater our appreciation of the intricate, multi-systems, molecular-level design job done by chance + time.![]()
I say money well spent, as these athletes will learn things they can apply over a lifetime, and also pass down to their own children.
Lustig is impressive! Now others (like Casey Means) are driving a revolution in our understanding of health's foundation at the cellular/molecular level, especially now with RFK, Jr. rooting out the corruption and lack of science in our regulating agencies.You’d enjoy this.

My absolute favorite thing CB used to have was the grilled haddock. Then, of course, they took it off the menu!The menu has completely changed and it’s not for the best. Plus the management leans way left on many issues. It’s not the CB we grew up going too.
