The Protein Paradox
Why Eating More Isn't Always the Answer
Most people assume the fix for losing muscle is simple: eat more protein. But ageing muscle quietly becomes anabolic resistant — it stops responding to the signal the way it used to. That makes how you eat protein — the quality, the completeness, the timing — far more important than simply piling on more grams. More isn't always the answer; the right complete signal is.

Pairing the complete essential amino acid signal with targeted resistance training overcomes anabolic resistance.
3 Things I Want You to Remember From This Chapter
- 1Eating more protein isn't the fix by itself — ageing muscle becomes "anabolic resistant," so quality, completeness and timing matter more than total grams.
- 2A complete essential amino acid profile outperforms BCAAs alone, which can even work against your goals without the full amino acid picture.
- 3The overnight recovery window is where most people's nutrition strategy goes quiet — and it shouldn't.
