Show Notes:
Gelatin; Is it Really Good for Your Joints?
[00:01:00] Dr. Keith explains why this study needed to be done.
[00:02:58] He goes on to describe how this study is designed.
[00:03:51] Carl shares a story of an ACL injury he had. Dr Keith continues the design of the study.
[00:06:05] The discussion turns to the value of eating the gristle parts of bone and meat.
[00:07:09] Dr Keith responds in detail to a question of Carl’s:
- What happens when people eat collagen,
- is there an appreciable change in soft tissue modelling and strength and,
- if so, how long does it take?
Do not miss his explanation!
[00:16:00] Dr Keith confirms that gelatin does not have to be expensive and describes his personal gelatin regime.
[00:17:00] Does collagen play a role in soft tissue and chondrocyte synthesis? Dr Keith replies.
[00:18:10] Part of the hypertrophy response is not just the uptake of sarcoplasmic fluid into muscle fibers and or the stem cell differentiation to new muscle fibers, but also the fascia which is an a-vascular soft tissue. Doesn't it make sense that if you are feeding that new tissue, it can also grow along with the muscle? Dr Keith eloquently answers with interesting facts.
[00:21:54] Listen to Carl’s difference in opinion on the subject after which Dr Keith weighs in as well. Remarkable debate – do not miss it ?
[00:32:20] Dr Keith shares the suggested dosage, time of day and type of gelatin to use.
[00:38:08] He goes on to explain how the Vitamin C comes into play.
[00:39:35] Dr Keith reiterates what he hopes both clinicians and laypeople take away from this research.
