Professor Stuart Phillips
Professor Stuart Phillips is one of THE world experts when it comes to protein metabolism and exercise. He and his team have been prolific in producing studies that now form the basis of much of today’s sports nutrition advice to athletes. Stuart worked with Dr.Wolfe in Galveston Texas and he published the first data in humans that directly examined skeletal muscle protein breakdown without using catheterization.
