Why You Are Losing Muscle: Beating Anabolic Resistance & The 2.0g Threshold

You are currently managing a high-value asset: your body. But like any complex portfolio, the market conditions change as you age. Strategies that yielded high returns in your twenties—the "accumulation phase"—often lead to stagnation in your forties.

In this episode, we dive deep into The Protein Deficit. We break down why the cost of doing business (maintaining lean muscle) has increased due to 'anabolic resistance' and why the standard recommended intake is a bankruptcy plan for the aging athlete.

We discuss the operational manual for the 2.0 g/kg protein threshold, including:

• The Landscape: Understanding the shift from a biological "bull market" to an inflationary environment.

• The Audit: Why you need 170g+ of protein, and how to solve the "Caloric Conundrum."

• Structural Assets: How to use "High-Yield Bonds" (White Fish) vs. "Hybrid Assets" (Eggs) to engineer your diet.

• Logistics: The importance of the "Leucine Threshold" and timing your intake to avoid catabolism.

This isn't just a fitness discussion; it is an ROI analysis of your nutrition.
