Why Does Whey Protein Isolate Get So Much Attention?
The 40+ Athlete
The main difference between whey concentrate and isolate is the processing. Whey protein isolate undergoes more processing in order to isolate the protein from whey.

This is why a 20 gram serving of whey protein isolate will contain around 18 grams of protein, whereas a 20 gram serving of whey protein concentrate will contain on average about 16.5-17 grams of protein. The flavor profile of whey protein isolate is also more easily manipulated via...

Inside the Routine of a Correction Officer turned CrossFit Master's Athlete | Interview with Dennis McTaggart
The 40+ Athlete
From going to bed at 7:30pm to getting up at 4:00am, Dennis has had his sleep routine on lockdown for the last 30 years, but his fitness and eating habits were lacking.

Fifteen years ago Dennis did HIIT style workouts and ran his fair share of half marathons to maintain his job as a correction's officer, but he wasn't living a healthy lifestyle. As he says, going to work, coming home, sitting and eating whatever you want, is not living life to the fullest. At 60yrs old, he is fitter than ever and...

The Metabolic Benefits of Creatine
The 40+ Athlete
Creatine is most often associated with strength and muscle mass, but what's often overlooked is its metabolic benefits. One of the hallmarks of healthy aging is efficiently getting sugar out of the blood and into the muscle cells for use or storage. This is also one of the processes that gets downgraded in the aging process. However, creatine can help! It can improve insulin sensitivity and move glucose into the muscle cells for use. Creatine supports muscle cell membrane stability (promoting better communication between cells and decreasing cellular breakdown), makes it easier to create...
