Timeline
3:35 – The attack on chocolate milk from the Feds? Please
5:50 - National security issue because we have so many men and women that are out of shape (i.e., overweight and/or obese). They just can’t be recruited into the armed forces.
8:48 – Testosterone – the hormone we all love
10:22 – Dr. Ferrando edifies us on his investigations using testosterone
11:12 – A clinician will not run blood work on you unless you are complaining about symptoms; if you do not present with symptoms, you are not “hypogonadal” in the mind of a clinician
11:50 – Everyone defines hypogonadal differently
13:13 - Take a 65-year-old man and make him 30 years old with T
14:10 - Does it matter if you use Test Cyp, Test Enanthate, Straight T etc.
17:50 - Test undecanoate – just one shot will avert the loss of FFM in soldiers over a period of 21 days
20:10 - Safety issues with testosterone – are there any real adverse effects?
24:19 – First nutrition class I took – the professor said that eating a lot of protein was bad for my kidneys
24:53 – Thoughts on why there is an anti-protein bias that exists even today
26:17 – The politics of food is annoying as heck.
27:24 - Humans need the EAAs to live and survive; what’s the best way to get those amino acids? Fruit and broccoli are great for apes; doesn’t work for humans.
28:51 - Quality of protein (i.e., the most EAAs) is paramount; need to promote that peak in plasma amino acids
30:05 – I’m too damn lazy to be a vegetarian (Ferrando).
30:27 – What are the best sources of protein? Depends. Are they trained or untrained. Learn more about why the EAAs are amazing.
39:45 – Age and Sex differences vis a vis the processing of amino acids (i.e., is there anabolic ‘resistance?’)
47:23 – Consuming up to 70 g of protein at a meal; synthesis vs degradation. It isn’t an on-off switch, it’s a rheostat. The role of insulin.
50:44 – You can only afford to be myocentric if the whole body is happy and the importance of lean body mass with regards to mortality

About our guest:
Arny Ferrando PhD FISSN
Dr. Ferrando’s work has focused on the preservation of skeletal muscle, and includes investigations utilizing exercise, pharmacological and nutritional interventions to ameliorate muscle loss. His many investigations have spanned diverse circumstances of muscle loss; including space flight, kidney disease, heart failure, burn injury, trauma, post-surgical rehabilitation, aging, and sustained military operations. Much of his work focuses on optimal nutritional/protein intake in these circumstances, and he holds 2 patents on a nutritional formulation designed to improve muscle recovery. His current work focuses on optimal nutrition during aging and nutritional supplementation to enhance soldiers’ performance, resilience, and recovery. He has career-long funding from both federal and industry sources, and has over 160 peer-reviewed publications, invited reviews, and book chapters.
