On this episode of Mind Body Peak Performance, Nick Urban is joined by distinguished professor and expert in amino acids, Dr. Robert Wolfe of Amino Co.
In this episode, they dive deep into the science of essential amino acids (EAAs). They explore the crucial role of amino acids on body and brain health, and the potential of EAA supplementation in promoting muscle recovery, performance, and overall well-being.
Meet our guest
Dr. Robert R. Wolfe served as a faculty member at Harvard Medical School for nine years. Prior to accepting his current position in 2006, he was at the UT Medical Branch at Galveston, where he held the John H. Sealy Distinguished Chair in Clinical Research and was Chief of the Metabolism Unit at Shriners Burns Hospital. Dr. Wolfe has received the Herman Award from the American Society of Clinical Nutrition for his career contributions.
The focus of Dr. Wolfe’s research is on the regulation of muscle metabolism, particularly as affected by aging and stressors such as injury, sepsis, and cancer. He has developed models using stable isotopes to quantify a variety of metabolic processes including the various aspects of carbohydrate metabolism and the rates of muscle protein synthesis, breakdown, and the transport of amino acids between blood and muscle tissue. Dr. Wolfe is the Director of the Center for Translational Research in Aging and Longevity at the Reynolds Institute on Aging.
