Sleep, Growth Hormone, and Autophagy: How Rest, Diet, and Fasting Support Metabolic Health and Longevity: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses how deep, early non-REM sleep boosts growth hormone for muscle, bone, fat burning, and metabolic health, and reviews a Cell study in which UC Berkeley researchers mapped hypothalamic circuits and feedback through the locus coeruleus showing a tight balance between sleep, growth hormone release, and wakefulness, with implications for metabolic disease and neurodegeneration. She connects poor sleep to higher blood sugar, insulin, and cortisol, which can suppress growth hormone, and advises avoiding sweet post-workout foods (e.g., smoothies, bananas, fruit yogurt) that stimulate insulin and blunt growth hormone, recommending protein and fat instead. She then explains autophagy and mitophagy as cellular cleanup processes linked to longevity, noting autophagy peaks after 12 hours of fasting, highlighting roles in mitochondrial quality control, immunity, and neurodegenerative disease, and mentions interventions such as fasting, exercise, ketogenic diets, and investigational inducers like rapamycin and urolithin A.

IntroductionThe episode opens with introductions of Dr. Jonas de Souza, Steve Martin, and Dr. Ben Wenner, who discuss their backgrounds and experiences in dairy nutrition. The panel outlines the key topics shaping modern dairy nutrition, including fresh cow management, nutrient utilization, amino acid balancing, and the industry's growing adoption of response-based nutrition models designed to improve biological and economic outcomes. (00:00 – 03:26)Fresh Cow Management in the Real WorldDrawing on both research and field experience, the panel discusses transition cow management, fresh pen logistics, cow flow, and the operational challenges producers face when trying to maintain intake and health during early lactation. The speakers emphasize that successful fresh cow programs depend on both sound nutrition and consistent management practices. (09:06 – 18:56)Why Academic Dairy Science Fails in Real-World OperationsOne of the most engaging conversations centers on the gap between controlled university research and commercial dairy production. The panel explains how labor, facilities, stocking density, cow comfort, and day-to-day management practices often influence outcomes as much as nutrition itself, reinforcing the need to translate research into practical, farm-ready recommendations. (09:06 – 16:06)Regional Differences in Dairy ManagementThe discussion explores how climate, labor availability, facility design, and production systems influence fresh cow performance across different regions. The speakers stress the importance of tailoring nutritional recommendations to each dairy rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. (18:56 – 24:06)Why Feeding Methionine to Fresh Dairy Cows Is So ComplicatedMethionine is one of the most studied amino acids in dairy nutrition, but applying recommendations in fresh cows remains challenging. The panel examines variable dry matter intake, energy balance, and the metabolic demands of early lactation that make amino acid balancing so complex. (16:11 – 24:04)Energy Supply, Fermentable Starch, and Dietary FatMuch of the discussion focuses on how energy drives production response. The panel discusses the relationship between fermentable starch, propionate production, nutrient partitioning, and milk production while examining how dietary fat and fatty acid profiles influence feed efficiency and performance. (24:06 – 31:39)Should You Feed Fat and Fatty Acids to Fresh Cows?The speakers evaluate the benefits and limitations of supplementing fat during the transition period, discussing how different fatty acid sources can impact energy balance, milk production, and fresh cow performance. (28:17 – 33:59)Amino Acids for Dairy Cows: Lysine, Methionine, or Histidine?As amino acid nutrition continues to evolve, the panel explores emerging research on amino acid balancing and discusses the roles of lysine, methionine, and histidine in supporting performance. Dr. de Souza reviews amino acid response models and essential amino acid targets while the panel shares practical perspectives from commercial dairy operations. (35:19 – 43:46)Response Curves, Digestibility, and Return on InvestmentThe conversation turns to nonlinear optimization, nutrient digestibility, response curves, and economic returns. The speakers explain how these tools can help nutritionists improve efficiency and profitability while making more informed feeding decisions. (42:07 – 55:14)The Surprising Truth About Palmitic Acid and Fiber DigestionThe panel explores how fatty acid profiles influence rumen function, fiber digestion, nutrient utilization, and production responses in high-producing dairy cows. The discussion highlights the complexity of balancing energy and fiber utilization while maximizing milk production and feed efficiency. (49:13 – 56:23)Final Insights and Future DirectionsThe discussion concludes with insights on body condition scoring, herd monitoring tools, tracer cows, protein sourcing, muscle mobilization, and the future of dairy nutrition. Dr. Jonas de Souza, Steve Martin, and Dr. Ben Wenner emphasize the importance of combining research findings with practical farm experience to maximize cow performance, feed efficiency, and profitability while continuing to refine amino acid and energy nutrition strategies for modern dairy herds.

A hundred million Americans don't have a primary care provider. For most healthcare systems, that's a problem. For Scott Middleton, it's proof that the whole model needs to change.Scott, founder and Chief Disruption Officer at Your Health, joins Jamie for an unfiltered conversation about what wellness actually is — and why it's not the same as primary care. Your Health's wellness program has exploded from zero to 4,100 patients in just two years, and Scott is just getting started. From GLP-1s and hormone replacement to peptides and the controversial South Carolina ruling that tried to silence physicians, Scott holds nothing back — and makes clear he's willing to take the fight to court.In this episode:Why wellness is a specialty — not an alternative to primary care — and why the distinction changes everything about how patients should seek careThe South Carolina Board of Medical Examiners' peptide ruling, why Scott believes it violates the First Amendment, and what he plans to do about itHow clinical pharmacists and nurse practitioners are filling the gaps physicians are being pressured to leaveScott's own transformation: from 425 pounds to 216, cholesterol from 280 to 189, and what specific peptides and protocols drove those resultsWhy employers like Bank of America — spending $2 billion a year on employee health — are the sleeper stakeholders in the wellness revolutionIf you've been told to "come back when something's wrong," this episode is the permission slip to demand something better. www.YourHealth.Org

Exercise, Recovery, Relaxation—and Muscle as the Key to Healthy Aging: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses science-backed wellness trends that pair exercise with effective recovery and deliberate relaxation to support performance, resilience, and healthy aging, noting benefits such as fewer overuse injuries, better sleep, steadier energy, and improved adherence. She highlights relaxation practices (breathwork, meditation, gentle yoga, outdoor time, massage, consistent sleep routines) and encourages making recovery part of daily life, including creating home or community “wellness spaces” like pools for gentle movement and stress reduction. She emphasizes sustainable habits supported by tools like wearables and heart-rate variability tracking. The episode then frames muscle as a “longevity secret weapon,” explaining its roles in metabolism, glucose storage, insulin sensitivity, inflammation control, and joint stability, citing the PURE study on grip strength and mortality, warning about sarcopenia, and recommending strength training, higher and well-distributed protein intake with age due to anabolic resistance, plus adequate sleep and recovery.

Send us Fan MailIn episode #197 host Kyla Channell is joined by Dr. Emily Lantz, assistant professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch, for a practical conversation about how muscle responds to age, disuse, sleep loss, and protein intake. The episode focuses on what actually helps preserve or rebuild muscle, especially in middle-aged and older adults, aging women, and athletes recovering from inactivity or injury.KEY TAKEAWAYSMuscle loss can happen quickly during inactivity, especially in older adults.Whey protein appears useful in disuse situations because of its high quality and easy absorption.Protein quality matters, not just total grams.Plant-based eating can absolutely work, but it often requires more planning to hit protein and amino acid needs.25 to 30 grams of protein per meal is a practical target for many active adults.Leucine is helpful, but not a stand-alone solution.Resistance training remains the strongest signal for building or maintaining muscle.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.ABOUT DR. EMILY LANTZ:Dr. Emily Lantz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutrition Sciences and Health Behavior in the School of Health Professions at the University of Texas Medical Branch. She has a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Biochemistry from Iowa State University, a PhD in Nutrition Science from Purdue University. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship in skeletal muscle metabolism from the Division of Rehabilitation Science University of Texas Medical Branch.Dr. Lantz's research interest broadly focuses on two main themes: i). the effects of physical inactivity on skeletal muscle mass and functional capacity in middle-aged and older adults, with an emphasis on aging women and ii). the application and mechanism of action of amino acid and protein consumption on acute markers of anabolism e.g., muscle protein synthesis.FOLLOW DR.

Despite being the most studied supplement of all time, creatine is making a big resurgence. That's why we decided to rebroadcast this highly informative episode, that is more relevant now, than when it was originally posted. It's been the hot topic in the health podcast space, as new scientific evidence is showing creatine is about more than looking big, but has big and important effects on brain health and overall longevity. But, like all things, creatine needs to be handled with care. It needs to be the right type, at the right dose, at the right times, with the right movement and for the right person. That's why it was fundamentally important for me to get a true creatine expert on the show, Dr Darren Candow.Dr. Darren Candow is a professor specializing in exercise physiology, nutrition, and aging. He supervises the Aging Muscle and Bone Health Laboratory, where the primary research focus is to develop effective lifestyle interventions involving nutrition—primarily creatine monohydrate—and physical activity, particularly resistance training. These interventions aim to improve muscle, bone, and brain health and function, with both practical and clinical relevance. To date, Dr. Candow has published over 120 peer-reviewed journal articles, supervised more than 20 MSc/PhD students, and secured research funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the Nutricia Research Foundation.Join us as we explore:Everything about creatine!

I was particularly excited to sit down with one of my long term colleagues, psychiatrist Dr. James Greenblatt for an exploration of his new book "Finally Hopeful subtitle". Dr. Greenblatt is one of the pioneers of functional and integrative psychiatry, and it's his fourth interview with the MindHealth360 Show. His first three were about suicide, ADHD and Eating Disorders. This one was about the biological root causes of depression – and why identifying them could fundamentally change the way we diagnose and treat mental illness. Dr. Greenblatt argues that depression is not one uniform condition: ten people with the same diagnosis may have ten different underlying drivers. From vitamin D and B12 deficiencies, amino acids, thyroid and hormone imbalances, to low cholesterol, impaired digestion and chronic infections, he explains why common and measurable biological factors can contribute to depressive symptoms – and why testing for root causes should often come before treatment. But this is not a conversation about replacing antidepressants with supplements. Dr. Greenblatt is equally critical of functional medicine approaches that focus on tests and large supplement protocols without understanding the individual patient. We explore his mantra to "treat patients, not tests", and examine why trauma and chronic stress can impair digestion and nutrient absorption, and why nervous-system regulation, and an understanding of psycho-social factors and relationships must sit alongside biochemical treatment. In this episode, you'll learn: Why ten people with depression may have ten completely different underlying causes. Why clinicians should investigate factors including thyroid function, iron, B12, zinc and vitamin D before automatically reaching for an antidepressant. Why vitamin D deficiency is associated with depression, anxiety and suicide risk – and why testing matters more than simply giving everyone vitamin D. How trauma and chronic stress can suppress stomach acid and digestion, leaving people low in amino acids even when they eat adequate protein. Why commonly accepted B12 "normal" ranges may miss deficiencies relevant to brain and mental health. Why very low cholesterol levels may be an overlooked biological factor in depression, addiction and suicide risk. What new research tells us about lithium orotate and brain health, and why lithium is being reconsidered by mainstream psychiatry. Why "treat patients, not tests" has become one of Dr. Greenblatt's central principles – and why more supplements do not necessarily mean better treatment. Why he considers somatic therapies particularly important for patients whose stress and trauma are held in the body. Why ketogenic diets and psychedelics can be powerful tools, but may still become sophisticated "Band-Aids" if basic biological deficiencies are overlooked. Take the conversation further at IMMH 2026 At this year's Integrative Medicine for Mental Health (IMMH) Conference, Dr. James Greenblatt will take several of the ideas explored in this episode into greater clinical depth across two sessions: Amino Acids as Precursors for Neurotransmitters – exploring how amino acid deficiencies can affect neurotransmitter production, and how targeted testing and repletion may support more personalised approaches to depression. Functional Medicine for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder – examining evidence-based nutritional approaches to OCD, including inositol, NAC and 5-HTP, alongside nutrigenomic testing to inform individualised treatment.

Episode #231 of the PricePlow Podcast is a science deep dive, and this one comes with tons of citations. Dr. Daniel Traylor, a protein and amino acid researcher at DePaul University, joins Jim McMahon of Fit Foods to launch PVL’s ISO CLEAAR, a dairy-free protein drink built around Leuvate, Traylor’s leucine-forward essential amino acid blend making its first commercial appearance. Traylor has spent close to 15 years studying how fast different protein sources and amino acid forms show up in the bloodstream, and this episode walks through that research paper by paper, from a 2012 dose-threshold study out to Traylor’s own ongoing GLP-1 crossover trial. McMahon, who’s been building Fit Foods since 1996 (he joined us on Episode #215 to talk protein price shocks and the Mutant story), explains why he built ISO CLEAAR around collagen, pea, and fava protein instead of whey, and why absorption speed matters as much as total EAA content.

Injectable Peptides, Influencers, and Why You Still Got to Lift Lonnie Lowery and Dr. Mike T. Nelson (Phil Stevens out with internet issues) open with an article, "Influencers are promoting dangerous peptides on social media, and regulators are struggling to keep up," detailing how unapproved injectable peptides have moved from niche bodybuilding forums into mainstream social media marketing via before-and-after claims and discount codes. The hosts debate what actually makes these compounds dangerous - the specific amino acid sequence and receptor interactions versus contamination, storage, and immune reactions from the injectable route itself - and connect it back to the show's core message: "you got to lift, bro." They discuss how influencer-driven peptide use sells the promise of results with minimal effort, contrast it with the disciplined training culture of 1980s and '90s PED-era bodybuilders, and share an anecdote from an ISSN conference where two of the field's top protein researchers agreed exercise outweighs protein for muscle retention. Mike notes the near-complete absence of controlled human trials on peptides like BPC-157 and mitochondrial compounds such as BAM15, the confound of concurrent TRT use, and the difficulty of testing vague, subjective outcomes like energy or recovery. They close by discussing the FDA's recent move allowing compounding pharmacies to produce certain peptides and the need for a legitimate, IRB-approved research effort - modeled on how ISSN itself began - to generate real safety and efficacy data before regulators are forced into further reactive policy. 00:00 Welcome and Hosts 00:20 Host Introductions and Hypoxic Training Chat 03:25 You Got to Lift Theme Introduction 03:38 Peptide News Segment Setup 03:55 Article on Peptide Influencers 08:11 Amino Acids or Real Drugs Debate 14:27 Immune Reactions and Storage Risks 20:25 Bypassing Effort and the 80s-90s PED Era 27:03 VO2 Max and Measuring Progress 29:47 ISSN Anecdote: Exercise vs Protein 31:16 Microgravity and Human Need for Stimulus 34:21 Mitochondrial Peptides and TRT Confounds 36:42 Rick Collins and the Data Vacuum 40:13 Path to Legitimate IRB-Approved Studies 40:55 Wrap Up 42:29 Wrap and Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

Hashimoto's is usually discussed in terms of TSH, thyroid hormone levels, and medication—but what if there's another piece of the puzzle hiding in your diet? A fascinating 2026 study has put a little-known amino acid called histidine on the thyroid research radar. Researchers found significantly lower histidine levels in people with Hashimoto's compared with healthy controls, raising an intriguing question: could this everyday nutrient play a role in the inflammation and immune dysfunction behind autoimmune thyroid disease?In this episode, we'll unpack what scientists actually discovered—and why the findings are generating so much interest. You'll learn what histidine is, where you get it from, and how researchers found that adding histidine to immune cells reduced NETosis, an inflammatory process that can contribute to thyroid tissue damage. We'll also explore histidine's effects on NF-κB, a major inflammatory signaling pathway, and its potential connection to oxidative stress and the gut-thyroid relationship. And we'll clear up an important source of confusion: histidine is not the same thing as histamine, even though histidine is a precursor to histamine.But before you rush out to buy a histidine supplement, there's an important reality check. This is early-stage research conducted in cells—not a human clinical trial—and researchers have not established a safe or effective supplemental dose for people with Hashimoto's. So what should you actually do with this information? We'll look at how histidine compares with better-studied nutrients like selenium, why getting enough quality protein may be the most practical takeaway right now, and what researchers need to discover before histidine could become part of mainstream Hashimoto's treatment. 

What if the peptide you just ordered online isn't wrong — it's just wrong for you? In Episode 2 of our peptides series, clinical pharmacist Dr. Melissa Jones takes us inside the actual decision-making process providers use to match a peptide to a patient, and why skipping that process is how people end up wasting money, or worse, hurting themselves. Host Jamie Preston and Dr. Jones dig into the real science: what a peptide is, how peptides signal the body, and why a healthy foundation — hormones and gut health — has to come before any peptide is even considered. From there, they cover the wide menu of options (tissue repair, skin and hair, sexual health, growth hormone support, metabolic health, sleep and stress) and what it actually means to “stack” or “cycle” peptides responsibly. In this episode, you'll hear: Why there isn't — and won't be — one peptide that does it all, and what that means for how providers build a plan How stacking and cycling actually work, and where cost becomes a real factor in the decision The difference between FDA-approved peptide uses (like Tesamorelin for visceral fat) and the anecdotal dosing happening across the wellness world The real danger in reconstituting and self-dosing peptides ordered online, explained in plain terms What responsible, supervised GLP-1 (Mounjaro, Ozempic, tirzepatide) therapy looks like — and what goes wrong with compounded, unregulated versions The specific list of patients who should avoid peptides or use extra caution, and why providers need to know it cold If you've ever wondered whether a peptide could actually help you — or wondered what your provider is really weighing before saying yes — this episode gives you the real answer, not the Instagram version. www.YourHealth.Org

Dr. Mike Van Amburgh begins by outlining how amino acid nutrition has historically been viewed almost exclusively through the lens of milk protein. He explains that emerging research clearly shows amino acids play far broader roles in the cow, influencing milk fat synthesis, energy metabolism, and overall efficiency. As genetic potential has increased, amino acids are now supporting many biological pathways beyond simple milk protein yield. (05:50)  Dr. Van Amburgh explains that dairy systems across Europe and North America are under increasing pressure to reduce nitrogen losses. By formulating more precise diets that better match amino acid requirements, cows can excrete significantly less urinary nitrogen while maintaining—or even improving—milk production, creating both environmental and economic benefits. (09:30)  The panel discusses the robustness of current CNCPS model libraries and explains why forage amino acid profiles tend to be relatively conserved. While management factors like heat damage or poor fermentation can alter availability, microbial protein ultimately supplies a large and consistent portion of metabolizable amino acids to the cow. (12:15)  Dr. Van Amburgh emphasizes that microbial protein should supply roughly half of total amino acid needs, making rumen efficiency critical. However, as production levels rise, microbial protein alone is no longer sufficient creating a clear role for rumen‑protected amino acids to close growing nutritional gaps. (16:20)  Dr. Usman Arshad then leads a deep discussion on choline and methionine in transition cows. He explains why these two nutrients are not interchangeable, despite both acting as methyl donors. Choline has a unique lipotropic role in supporting liver fat export and reducing fatty liver risk during early lactation, while methionine primarily supports milk production and protein synthesis. Research shows that choline supplementation during the transition period alone can generate lasting carryover improvements in milk yield later in lactation. (29:00)  The panel addresses a common industry question: how much choline is enough? Dr. Arshad reviews decades of research, including meta‑analyses showing a largely linear response between choline ion intake and milk production. While 12–13 g/day of choline ion remains, the standard recommendation based on most available studies, data suggest additional benefits may exist at higher levels—even though more research is still needed. (34:00)  Dr. Van Amburgh explains that recent infusion and feeding studies demonstrate much higher metabolizable protein requirements than traditionally assumed, driven in part by the important role of non‑essential amino acids. These nutrients support energy generation, glucose synthesis, and tissue metabolism during early lactation—contributing to substantial gains in energy‑corrected milk when requirements are met. (44:30)  The panel also discusses whether amino acid balancing can help cows cope with heat stress. While amino acids do not eliminate heat stress, improving metabolic efficiency appears to reduce wasted heat production and support immune function and gut integrity, potentially helping cows better navigate stressful conditions. (54:45)  The group shares real‑world examples showing that improving amino acid balance often increases milk components without increasing intake, frequently delivering returns of 2:1 or greater, depending on milk pricing and market structure. (58:00)  Dr. Van Amburgh then offers candid insights into rumen‑protected amino acid bioavailability, explaining that products on the market are not created equal. Independent testing has shown efficiencies ranging from as low as ~10% to as high as ~80%. The panel stresses that transparent, published bioavailability data are essential for accurate formulation and for maintaining credibility across the industry. (01:01:30)  Lastly, the panel examines modern high‑starch diets, monensin use, and intake regulation. Dr. Van Amburgh suggests many systems may now be producing excessive propionate, potentially limiting intake through chemical fill. He argues that rebalancing starch and NDF—rather than simply adding more concentrate—may unlock better efficiency and performance. (01:10:00)  The episode concludes with final audience questions.

In this episode of the Fit Father Project Podcast, I sit down with Liz Plosser — former Editor-in-Chief of Women's Health, author of Own Your Morning, and a busy parent juggling three kids, a career, and a serious training schedule. We break down one of the most overlooked tools in modern nutrition: essential amino acids (EAAs). This conversation goes beyond "eat more protein" and into the real science of how fast your body can actually use it.Liz and I unpack what EAAs are, why leucine is the trigger switch for muscle building, and why men over 40 specifically need to pay closer attention to protein timing and absorption as anabolic resistance creeps in with age.Liz shares her own protein audit story — going from 40-50 grams a day to over 100 — and how adding EAAs and creatine changed her recovery, energy, and body composition within weeks.This episode is a practical, no-hype breakdown of one of the simplest ways to get more out of the protein you're already trying to eat.Rate & Review – If this episode helped you understand how to fuel recovery and protect muscle as you age, please rate and review the Fit Father Project Podcast.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showYour horse still doesn't have a topline, even after switching feeds and adding an amino acid supplement. Audrey breaks down why topline loss is rarely a protein problem, why sodium and mineral status matter more than most owners realize, and why chronic inflammation can block muscle building no matter what's in the bucket. Learn the real drivers behind a weak topline and what actually needs to change to build it back correctly.

This episode is different.Coach Alex sits down with San Qing on The Way for a wide-ranging conversation about exercise science, stress adaptation, mitochondria, fasting, performance, belief, martial arts, and what happens when the body is challenged and forced to grow.But this conversation also moves into territory that many Faithful Fitness listeners may not be used to hearing.Daoism.Eastern medicine.Energy language.Breathwork.Alchemy.Spiritual frameworks that do not come from a Christian worldview.That is why this episode needs to be heard with discernment.There are places in this conversation where Coach Alex and San Qing find common ground. Stress matters. Adaptation matters. Belief matters. Movement matters. The body and mind are deeply connected. The human body is fearfully and wonderfully complex.But there are also places where the worldviews are very different.As Christians, we do not listen to conversations like this with fear or arrogance. We listen with wisdom. We test what we hear. We recognize what is true, reject what is false, and bring every thought captive to Christ.Because Jesus is not one spiritual option among many.He is the way, the truth, and the life.In this episode, Coach Alex brings exercise science and Christian stewardship into a conversation outside the walls of the church. He discusses his work with Everyday Spy, the role of adaptive stress, why movement forces belief into action, how mitochondria respond to challenge, why “1% better” matters, and why the body cannot be separated from the life of faith.Listen carefully.Listen prayerfully.And ask yourself:Where have I absorbed spiritual ideas from the culture around me without testing them against Scripture?The body matters.The mind matters.Belief matters.But Christ is Lord over all of it.Timestamps00:00 – Belief, Genetics, and Performance00:35 – San Qing's Bodybuilding Journey and Daoist Framework04:21 – Coach Alex Reframes Fitness Around DNA and Stewardship06:44 – Myostatin, Genetics, and Natural Muscle Growth07:40 – Everyday Spy, Mission Readiness, and Recovery09:13 – Less Is More: Acute Stress vs. Chronic Stress12:06 – Adaptive Stressors and Epigenetic Potential12:54 – Which Cardio Is Best?

Oxidative Stress, Antioxidants, Amino Acids, Exercise - Join us in this week's Five Minute Friday as we dive into the "master antioxidant," glutathione! Known as one of nature's most potent defenders against oxidative stress, glutathione plays a crucial role in maintaining youthfulness and overall health. From its origins in our body's amino acids to practical tips on naturally boosting levels through diet and supplements, we explore how foods rich in sulfur, vitamin C, and selenium can enhance glutathione production. Learn about other allies such as whey protein and milk thistle, which contribute to glutathione synthesis and antioxidant protection. By incorporating these strategies into your daily routine, you can empower your body to combat aging and maintain vitality from the inside out!

Lara Moody (iFeeder), Dr. Yuntai Hong, and Leah Wilkinson (AFIA) join the Real Science Exchange podcast to explore the growing concern around vitamin and amino acid supply chain disruptions—and their potential impact on U.S. food security. Recorded live at IPPE, this episode dives into how feed ingredient availability influences animal performance, producer profitability, and long-term resilience across the food system. The conversation opens with introductions and an overview of the iFeeder report, setting the stage for a data-driven discussion on supply chain stability and its importance to the animal feed and food industries (00:00–01:08). The panel begins by outlining the mission of iFeeder and the origin of the resiliency challenge, explaining how the organization was tasked with delivering fact-based insights to quantify supply chain risks tied to vitamins and amino acids (01:08–03:19). The discussion then traces the report's development back to COVID-19, when widespread disruptions exposed vulnerabilities in sourcing critical feed ingredients and highlighted the need for credible data to inform policymakers (03:19–04:15). As the episode progresses, the panel walks through the data collection and analysis process, describing how global trade data is translated into meaningful, species-specific insights for producers and nutritionists (04:15–07:36). This foundation reinforces the importance of evidence-based decision-making across the industry. The Role of Vitamins and Amino Acids in Animal Nutrition Attention then shifts to the essential role of vitamin and amino acid supplementation in modern animal nutrition systems (07:36–09:18). While feed ingredients provide baseline nutrients, supplementation is required to support optimal production, maintain animal health, and ensure efficient growth across species. These findings align with broader research showing that consistent access to these nutrients is critical for maintaining livestock productivity and food supply stability. [ifeeder.org] The conversation further explores global production capacity, noting that many systems are currently operating below optimal utilization levels—raising concerns about long-term supply reliability and resilience (09:18–10:33). Real-World Impacts of Supply Chain Disruptions The panel then dives into the real-world consequences of nutrient shortages, using examples like lysine to demonstrate how disruptions can reduce growth rates, extend time to market, and significantly impact production efficiency (10:33–13:26). These disruptions ripple throughout the value chain, influencing not only on-farm productivity but also economic outcomes and consumer-level impacts such as reduced food supply and higher prices (13:26–14:31). Global Supply Dependency and Food Security Risks The discussion also highlights global sourcing trends, particularly the increasing reliance on imports for vitamins and amino acids—often driven by cost advantages (14:31–16:50). This dependency introduces new vulnerabilities into the supply chain. Industry research has shown that the U.S. feed sector relies heavily on a limited number of global suppliers, creating potential risks to animal production and broader food security if disruptions occur. [feedandadditive.com] Policy, Innovation, and National Resilience The conversation then transitions to policy and national security considerations, exploring how outsourcing production affects more than just agriculture (16:50–18:44). The panel discusses potential pathways forward, including the need to rebuild domestic capacity and enhance supply chain stability. Ongoing legislative and policy efforts are also highlighted, including engagement with Congress and federal agencies to address supply chain risks through incentives, research investment, and public-private cooperation (18:44–20:51). As the discussion continues, the panel emphasizes the importance of maintaining long-term momentum and ensuring sustained focus across political cycles, regardless of changing administrations (20:51–23:07). Industry Resources and Call to Action The episode also outlines available resources for industry stakeholders, including the full iFeeder report, summary versions, and species-specific subreports designed to make the findings more actionable (23:07–23:53).

What if your cravings, mood swings, brain fog, and emotional overwhelm were signs of a nutrient deficiency rather than a lack of willpower? As we age, hormonal shifts, chronic stress, poor sleep, and nutrient depletion can significantly impact brain chemistry. Many people over 40 experience increased anxiety, brain fog, sugar cravings, and emotional volatility without realizing that amino acid deficiencies may be contributing. In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Laurie Hammer shares her powerful personal journey with amino acid therapy and how it transformed her mental health, cravings, emotional resilience, and overall brain function. We dive into the science behind amino acids as the building blocks of neurotransmitters and why they can be especially supportive for adults over 40 navigating stress, detoxification, and hormonal changes. You'll learn how amino acid testing works, the signs of deficiency, and practical ways to integrate amino acid support into a holistic health plan. About Laurie Hammer Being a mom and business owner isn't easy. Juggling responsibilities, sleepless nights, and constant demands can feel overwhelming and Laurie knows this struggle firsthand. Before becoming a mother, Laurie battled an eating disorder, anxiety, and depression, challenges that affected her health, relationships, and overall well-being. Discovering Amino Acid Therapy changed everything, helping her reclaim her life and igniting a passion for health and wellness. With a degree in psychology and certification in nutritional therapy, Laurie created the Calm Mom Method®, a proven approach designed to help moms reduce anxiety, restore energy, and live with greater purpose and resilience. What You'll Learn In This Episode:  ✅ Laurie's personal journey with amino acid therapy and what led her to explore this approach for mental and emotional health. ✅ How amino acids influence neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA—and why that matters for mood, sleep, focus, and cravings. ✅ The different ways to test amino acid levels and assess deficiencies, including how the body's responses can provide important clues. ✅ Why cravings and emotional eating may be rooted in brain chemistry rather than willpower alone. ✅ How targeted amino acid support can help with emotional regulation, stress resilience, and mental clarity. ✅ The role of amino acids in detoxification and brain health, including support for neuroprotection and recovery from chronic stress. ✅ How to integrate amino acids with functional medicine, nutrition, lifestyle habits, and other holistic health practices for a personalized approach to healing.

If you're training consistently, eating healthy, and still struggling with muscle loss, slower recovery, stubborn body composition changes, or feeling like your metabolism simply doesn't work like it used to… this episode is for you. In this deep-dive conversation, I sit down with Dr. David Minkoff, physician, endurance athlete, and founder of BodyHealth, to explore what is really happening beneath the surface as we age—and why muscle health may be one of the biggest missing pieces in longevity, metabolism, and performance. We discuss: • Why muscle loss accelerates after 40—even if you exercise consistently • What anabolic resistance is and why building muscle becomes harder with age • The difference between AMPK (survival mode) and mTOR (build mode) • What muscle protein synthesis (MPS) actually means and how to stimulate it • Why simply "eating more protein" may not solve the problem • The importance of digestion, stomach acid, and protein utilization • Why reaching the leucine threshold matters for muscle repair and growth • The science behind essential amino acids (EAAs) and recovery • How under-fueling, overtraining, poor recovery, and chronic stress can keep you stuck • Why muscle is critical for blood sugar regulation, energy, metabolism, and healthy aging If you're a high performer, endurance athlete, active adult, or someone navigating midlife changes and wondering why your body no longer responds the way it used to—this conversation will help connect the dots. Because many active adults are not undertrained.  They are under-muscled.  And the solution may not be working harder. It may be learning how to send a stronger signal.

The discussion opens with a welcome to the Real Science Exchange and an introduction to the expert panel, followed by foundational context around amino acid nutrition and its growing importance in dairy production systems. Early in the episode, the panel introduces the concept of feeding the “one-ton” component cow, highlighting the nutritional intensity required for high-output animals and comparing genomic potential with real-world feeding practices. (0:00–2:53)  As the conversation develops, the panel emphasizes the importance of challenging traditional scientific assumptions and pushing the boundaries of dairy nutrition research. Practical, on-farm insights are shared through examples from Sunnyside Dairy, including consulting experience, environmental considerations, and feed quality management. The group also addresses stocking density and heat abatement strategies, reinforcing the relationship between cow comfort and production efficiency. (6:59–11:28)  A shift toward performance philosophy introduces a high input–high output approach to dairy production, setting the stage for a deeper dive into amino acid research. The panel explores histidine as a potentially limiting amino acid and discusses its bioavailability, supported by both U.S. and global research perspectives. The conversation also covers the role of low-protein diets and how they influence histidine responses in modern dairy systems. (13:16–18:34)  Attention then turns to rumen function and feeding stability, with a focus on total mixed ration (TMR) consistency and its impact on production outcomes. The panel explains methods for evaluating amino acid bioavailability and rumen protection, bridging the gap between controlled research and practical application on commercial dairies. (20:10–21:16)  During an extended audience Q&A, experts provide actionable strategies for managing high metabolizable protein diets in fresh cows, along with day-to-day feeding practices that support consistency. The discussion highlights ongoing challenges with maintaining accurate data and ensuring feeding precision, both of which are essential for optimizing herd performance. (23:23–31:49)  The episode then transitions into performance measurement and economic considerations. Panelists examine the biological drivers of milk production and discuss how to evaluate feed additives and nutritional strategies in commercial settings. Emphasis is placed on maintaining economic discipline in on-farm research, with Milk Urea Nitrogen (MUN) presented as a valuable metric for assessing protein efficiency. (34:50–38:48)  Further exploration of protein nutrition includes discussion on casein and whey contributions to high-yield production, amino acid interactions, and differences in European feeding limits and regulations. The panel also reviews the role of lysine in fat synthesis and de novo milk fat production, along with sourcing challenges related to histidine and variability in protein ingredients such as blood meal digestibility. (40:51–50:54)  As market dynamics come into focus, the group evaluates the value proposition of different protein sources and how nutrition strategies must adapt to economic fluctuations. These insights highlight the importance of balancing cost, performance, and efficiency when formulating rations in a changing market environment. (54:21–55:30)  In the closing portion of the episode, the panel addresses final audience questions and discusses the benefits of precision release methionine technologies in supporting production efficiency. The conversation wraps up with forward-looking insights into dairy nutrition, including opportunities in fresh cow management and the ongoing interaction between genotype and feeding strategies. (58:22–1:05:48)  The episode concludes with key takeaways and additional resources for continued learning through Balchem ANH's Real Science Exchange podcasts and webinars, providing listeners with access to further insights on dairy nutrition and innovation.

Most people think tracking their protein is enough. The science says what your body actually craves is something far more specific and the person making that argument spent 23 years inside legacy media watching the wellness industry sell women everything from "bikini body in two weeks" to canned protein soda. In this episode, I sit down with Liz Plosser, former Editor in Chief of Women's Health, where she oversaw brands reaching 44 million women. We break down why the nine essential amino acids are what your body is really after when you chase protein, why BCAAs are only a fraction of the picture, and why a study found four of the top six creatine gummies on Amazon contained zero creatine. Liz also opens up about her own supplement stack, her shift from endurance running to heavy lifting, and makes the case that testing instead of guessing is one of the most empowering moves you can make for your health. Then we go deep on the science most people get wrong: why aging women struggle to pull amino acids from food, how essential aminos protect lean muscle even on rest days and for those on GLP-1s, the new research on high-dose creatine for sleep deprivation and Alzheimer's, and why collagen may not deserve the hype. We also cover the menopause misinformation epidemic, the 2002 hormone study that terrified the world, and what Liz puts in her own morning protocol.

This week's stories: *Bartonella Hides in Cat Scratches — and It Might Be Why You Feel Like Garbage A stealth bacterial infection transmitted by everyday cat scratches and flea dirt has been quietly linked to chronic fatigue, brain fog, and neurological symptoms for decades. Dave breaks down how Bartonella slips past standard testing, why it's almost never on a conventional doctor's radar, and the specific PCR protocol you need to actually find it. Sources: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ *High Tyrosine Levels May Be Cutting Years Off Men's Lives A Mendelian randomization study of 270,000 UK Biobank participants found that elevated tyrosine is causally linked to nearly a full year of lost lifespan in men — with zero effect in women. The culprit appears to be an inflammatory oxidation pathway that men metabolize very differently. Dave examines what this means for every guy stacking L-tyrosine nootropics or eating high-protein keto. Sources: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41045493/ https://www.aging-us.com/news-room/high-tyrosine-levels-linked-to-shorter-lifespan-in-men https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2026-02-27/study-suggests-one-common-amino-acid-may-affect-how-long-men-live *Blue Light Blocking Contact Lenses Are a Legitimate Vision Upgrade ALTIUS Vision's tinted contact lenses aren't just blue light filters — they cut chromatic aberration by 53% and improve motion tracking and contrast sensitivity in ways that software filters simply can't replicate. Dave covers the mechanism, who benefits most (screen workers, TBI recovery, gamers), and how to find a provider. Sources: https://altiusvision.com/chromatic-aberration/ https://altiusvision.com/science-of-altius/ https://www.westvalleyvision.com/-altius--performance-tinted-contact-lenses *Taurine Plus B Vitamins Actually Moves the Needle on Motivation A randomized crossover trial found that a daily stack of taurine, B6, folate, and B12 sustained effort-reward motivation and cut cognitive lapses significantly compared to placebo — and the mechanism runs through glutathione production in brain astrocytes. Dave breaks down why this combo works when either ingredient alone doesn't. Sources: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41889717/ https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/nutrition/articles/10.3389/fnut.2026.1711478/full https://www.nutraingredients.com/Article/2026/03/23/taurine-and-b-vitamins-bost-motivation-and-focus/ *30 Seconds of Smelling Flowers Resets Your Nervous System Research out of the Monell Chemical Senses Center confirms what your grandmother knew: a slow, deep floral inhale measurably lowers heart rate and activates the parasympathetic nervous system — and it works because olfaction bypasses the cortex entirely and hits the limbic system directly. Dave makes the case for building a daily scent ritual. Sources: https://time.com/ https://www.southtabor.com/healthy-living-tip-stop-and-smell-the-flowers/ This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity seekers, and high-performance listeners who want mechanism-level clarity on infection-driven cognitive decline, amino acid optimization, sensory performance, and evidence-based supplementation. Host Dave Asprey connects emerging clinical research, Mendelian randomization data, and real-world protocols into actionable frameworks for extending healthspan and sharpening performance.
