They discuss opposing perspectives from leading longevity experts Dr. Valter Longo and Dr. Peter Attia, examining why protein recommendations vary so widely. The conversation highlights how protein needs change based on age, gender, activity level, and lifestyle, challenging the idea of one-size-fits-all nutrition.
