About this video

McPhee discusses portable protein sources and daily supplementation strategies for maintaining performance and longevity. He shares his approach to nutrition on the go, electrolyte management, and advocates for strength training and loaded movement as key factors in preventing joint degradation and maintaining health with age.

Key takeaways

• McPhee recommends portable protein sources including beef jerky, meat sticks, and protein shakes (he specifically recommends Mark Bell’s steak shake) for convenient nutrition while traveling
