Protein vs. Plants: The 50g-a-Meal Biohacking Rule  : 1309

Protein vs. Plants: The 50g-a-Meal Biohacking Rule : 1309

Getting 50 grams of protein per meal may be the single most underrated biohacking protein strategy for muscle growth, metabolism, and longevity. In this episode, you’ll discover why animal protein vs vegan is not a fair match biologically, how hitting the leucine threshold activates mTOR for longevity, and why muscle is the most overlooked organ of aging. This is must-listen content for anyone optimizing human performance, hacking metabolism, or reversing muscle loss with food.


Host Dave Asprey is joined by Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a pioneer in Muscle-Centric Medicine®, functional medicine expert, and top authority on clinical nutrition for longevity. Trained by protein researcher Dr. Donald Layman, she brings decades of expertise on how to use high-protein diets, amino acid science, and functional medicine to radically improve healthspan and brain optimization. Dr. Lyon works with everyone from special operators to aging patients, making her one of the most trusted voices in anti-aging diet strategies.

You’ll learn:

• Why 50g of protein per meal matters more than total daily intake

• How mTOR and longevity are misunderstood in mainstream nutrition

• Why protein vs plant protein debates ignore hard biological data

• How leucine thresholds determine muscle activation

• Why fasting and protein cycling beats low-protein veganism

• How ketosis and protein intake impact metabolic health

• Why many on a vegan diet experience sleep issues, hormone crashes, and reduced resilience

• How functional medicine podcasts like this one reveal the truth about aging and muscle loss

• What happens clinically when patients switch to a high-protein diet

• How to use supplements, nootropics, and protein hacks to enhance neuroplasticity, mitochondrial energy, and total body performance


If you’ve ever asked “what’s the best protein for muscle growth?” or “how does protein affect metabolism in aging?”, this episode gives you evidence-based answers from the front lines of clinical nutrition.


This channel is a must-listen for anyone serious about hacking their biology, upgrading cognitive performance, and using unconventional tools to create lasting transformation. Whether you’re tracking HRV, optimizing for deep sleep, or working toward metabolic resilience, these conversations deliver insights you won’t hear anywhere else.

Podcast #36:Hacking your Biome with uBiome's Jessica Richman

Podcast #36:Hacking your Biome with uBiome's Jessica Richman

Jessica Richman started and sold her first company after high school. Returning to formal education, she attended Stanford University, where she earned degrees in Economics and Science, Technology & Society (emphasis in computer science). Along the way, she worked for Google, McKinsey, Lehman Brothers, the Grameen Bank, and top-tier Silicon Valley venture firms. Currently a doctoral student at Oxford University, her academic interests include social networks, innovation, collective intelligence, and entrepreneurship. uBiome is the world’s first effort to map the human microbiome with citizen science. While the sequencing of the human genome has provided invaluable knowledge, it is very difficult to change our own genetic makeup. The microbiome, in contrast, is much more easily changed through simple means such as healthful probiotic cultures and other lifestyle interventions. The microbiome thus may provide some of the most important medical breakthroughs of our era. uBiome will ultimately empower participants to manage their microbiomes to improve their health as well as make important scientific discoveries for humanity.
