Beyond the Protein Trend: The Science of Protein Quality, Utilization, and Muscle Health
Protein recommendations often focus on quantity and quality, but how protein is utilized by the body depends on much more. The food matrix, protein timing and distribution, physical activity, age, and other factors can all influence digestion, absorption, muscle protein synthesis, and metabolic health.
This webinar explores the science shaping protein recommendations and its practical implications including protein’s role in muscle health, satiety, weight management, and healthy aging. It also explores factors contributing to the protein utilization gap across key population groups and highlight opportunities to optimize protein intake, timing, and physical activity across
the lifespan.
This webinar brings together Sara Oikawa PhD, Chief Science Officer at Enhanced Medical Nutrition, and Dana Angelo White MS, RD, ATC, Nutrition & Fitness Consultant and Chef, for an evidence-based look at the evolving science of dietary protein and what it means for nutrition professionals.
