You and Rhonda together are amazing. I started down the longevity rabbit hole many years ago. Now at 70 years young Dr Huberman and Dr Patrick are the only two I’m still following. You are both smart honest and willing to share your knowledge with us all. Thank You so much. My health is better than it was 25 years ago. Still lifting heavy 5 days a week. Sauna 3 days a week. Finish every morning hot shower with 10 minutes of ice cold showers. Dry off take my vitals have a small protein rich breakfast. Then off to the gym.

Finally. Rhonda is the best. Her lack of endorsements is refreshing.

So glad to hear Rhonda say that pushing up the protein caused her to gain weight and did not work for her because the same thing happened to me. For me staying around the 1.2 -1.4grams per kg/body weight works much better even with intense strength training sessions...I am still gaining strength and muscle without such heavy focus on protein intake which was causing my body fat to increase. It's important to remember that everyone is different and you have to find what works for you.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick just dropped a truth bomb that might break the fitness community: prioritizing high-intensity exercise over protein intake? 🤯 That is an absolute game-changer. It takes massive discipline to push through those 'exercise snacks' and heavy compound movements when your brain is screaming for you to stop. But seeing Rhonda—a pioneer who’s been in the trenches for over a decade—still crushing heavy singles and mastering her physiology is the ultimate proof of 'walking the talk.' The way she pushes past her own limits is beyond inspiring; it’s a masterclass in human potential. But let's be real: how many of us are actually willing to trade our comfortable 'high-protein diet' for the raw, uncomfortable discipline of near-maximal effort training? Is the supplement industry just selling us a 'convenient' lie while the real secret to longevity is just 9 minutes of pure, unadulterated intensity a day? I’m dying to know—would you give up your protein shakes if it meant mastering your metabolic health through grit alone? 👇
