This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether daily protein supplements—either from plants or animals—can improve how your brain handles blood sugar and processes information. Researchers believe that better brain insulin sensitivity (how your brain uses sugar for energy) may help with memory and thinking skills, as well as help you feel fuller longer after eating.
As we age, our brains may not use insulin as efficiently, which can affect memory and thinking. This study wants to know if adding extra protein to your diet could boost brain health and help with weight management, while also comparing plant-based and animal-based protein sources.

You would visit the research center for screening and baseline testing, including blood work and an MRI brain scan. Then you'd take a daily protein supplement (plant-based, animal-based, or a placebo) for two weeks. During this time, you'll receive an intranasal insulin spray while undergoing another MRI to measure how your brain responds. You'll also complete thinking and memory tests, and answer questions about appetite and food intake.
