It is with great pleasure that we welcome Stuart Phillips, PhD, back to the podcast! He last joined us to discuss protein intake and aging but today’s podcast takes a look at the many other facets of his labs’ ongoing research in long-term health, the menstrual cycle, and more. We take a deeper dive into what it means to focus on Health Span vs longevity, the need for movement in light of increased use of weight loss drugs, and the need to retain strength and power with aging.
