Understanding Protein and Muscle with Professor Luc van Loon (Podcast)

In this evidence-rich conversation, Professor Luc Van Loon, one of the world’s leading researchers on protein and muscle metabolism at Maastricht University, cuts through the noise to reveal what the science actually shows. With over three decades of research spanning elite athletes to intensive care patients—and approximately 40 million euros of research investment—Prof. Van Loon explains the relationship between protein and muscle, why the protein aisle in supermarkets is mostly marketing, and the surprisingly simple factors that affect how well we absorb what we eat. This interview separates genuine nutritional science from social media hype and provides practical guidance on protein and muscle health at any age.
