Episode 2636:

Ari seeks guidance on choosing the right protein supplement as a woman aiming to gain muscle. Dr. Neal explains the protein needs for muscle growth, the importance of protein quality, and how to incorporate supplements safely into a balanced diet.

Quotes to ponder:

"Most studies have found that consuming above and beyond these daily protein recommendations does not seem to help improve muscle size or strength."

"What seems to be most important is consuming protein throughout the day, not all at once."

"In the short-term, using a protein supplement in the form of a protein powder that’s been tested for quality and purity is likely safe for most people."
