You need to move away from the thought that whey in itself will have any direct impact on any of those. This is because it is:
Protein alone is not a miracle drug and will not “trigger” any process to start building muscle or anything like that unless your lifestyle holistically demands it.
Just a supplement

Not regulated
Non-essential
Clearly, it “could” potentially help as part of a lifestyle that promotes any of the three things you mentioned. But those take 4 major factors, of which nutrition is just 1 factor, as well as consistency. And only then might you see or feel results in a couple to a few weeks.
