Hi Running Friends!

On today's episode we have Dr. Robert Wolfe, PhD from the Amino Company. He has extensive knowledge about how amino acids work in our bodies and how they can help speed up our recovery time.

Dr. Wolfe went to college at UC Berkeley, where he was a 3-sport varsity athlete. He played basketball, track and golf. He went back to school for his PhD which led to a career in clinical research.

The focus of the research is on the regulation of muscle metabolism, particularly as affected by aging, injury, sepsis and cancer. His research has been performed largely in human patients and normal volunteers.

Dr. Wolfe has developed models using stable isotopes to quantify a variety of metabolic processes in human subjects including the oxidation and production of fatty acids, various aspects its of carbohydrate metabolism, and the rates of muscle protein sun these breakdown and the transport of amino acids between blood and muscle tissue.

Dr. Wolfe served as a faculty member at Harvard Medical school for nine years, and is currently the Direct gator of the Center Translational Research in Aging and Longevity at the Reynolds Insist on Aging in Little Rock, Arkansas.

As a runner, he has run 62 marathons in under 2:30!
