A Warning for ALL Gym Bros: Proteins Can Give You a Heart Attack
In this episode, we break down groundbreaking research—published in Nature Metabolism in February 2024—that uncovers how ultra-high protein diets (over 22% of your daily calories) may speed up atherosclerosis and boost heart attack risk. The key player? Leucine, an amino acid abundant in animal proteins like meat, eggs, and dairy, which turns on mTOR signaling in macrophages—accelerating arterial plaque buildup. Whether you're a science buff, a fitness enthusiast, or a “gym bro” chasing gains...
