This week I’ve got Dr. David Minkoff, MD on the show to talk about protein supplementation. Before going any further, I should make it clear I’m all for real food. Spend your money at the farmer’s market before you spend on any supplement. Having said that, I’ve also had great results taking supplements, and I’ve seen many other athletes enjoy the same. Close to the top of the list, especially for athletes with digestive complaints, are free-form essential amino acids. Dr. Minkoff is a board certified pediatrician and fellow in Infectious Diseases and has extensive postgraduate training in Complementary and Alternative Medicine. He’s an expert in Functional Medicine, Chelation, Allergy Elimination, European Biological Medicine, Neural Therapy, Longevity/Aging Medicine, Enderlein Therapy, Insulin Potentiated Therapy, and more. And equally important, Dr. Minkoff is an athlete himself, having competed in over 40 IRONMAN competitions. During this interview, we talk about protein and their amino acids building blocks. Free-form amino acids have helped me in three different ways: #1: messed up gut. Back when I was suffering from a lot of gas, bloating and diarrhoea, free-form amino acids helped me with my recovery. I got to the point where I stopped lifting weights because of how sore it made me afterwards, and I even felt sore after an endurance paced ride, sometimes for days. Now I understand more about physiology I can explain what might have been going on. Stomach acid denatures protein and activates enzymes. Imagine you’ve just eaten a nice piece of grass fed steak. The process of protein digestion begins in the stomach with hydrochloric acid (HCl) and an enzyme called pepsin. HCl doesn’t break apart protein into its constituent amino acids. Instead, it denatures the protein. Denaturing means to act on the hydrogen bonds that hold the protein together which allows the protein to unfold. HCl also activates pepsinogen into the active enzyme pepsin, and the pepsin then starts to break apart the peptide bonds. A peptide is just a short sequence of amino acids. If your stomach acid is low, this whole process will start to fail before absorption can start in the duodenum. Brush border enzymes break apart proteins in peptides and amino acids. Once in the duodenum, the partly digested food is called chyme. The pancreas produces digestive enzymes, some of which break down the proteins in the chyme. The key proteolytic enzyme trypsinogen activates into trypsin at the brush border of the enterocytes that line the GI tract. Think of the delicate brush border as a shag carpet, and the proteolytic enzymes contained within the shags are themselves proteins synthesised by the nucleus of the enterocyte cell. Zinc is an essential cofactor. All the enzymes described thus far are themselves proteins, and to make them your body needs zinc. Surprisingly, zinc found in food is usually bound to a protein, and to separate the zinc from the protein and absorb it, your body needs zinc! It’s a vicious cycle. Alkaline phosphatase below 70IU/L may hint at a zinc deficiency. Elevated indican on an organic acids test indicates the bacterial breakdown of protein. Elevated indican means that the bacteria, not you, are digesting the protein that you eat. Diagnosis: messed up gut. Free-form aminos are easily absorbed. Hopefully me explaining all this will help you understand that protein digestion is complicated. If it goes wrong, we’re in big trouble. Free-form amino acids like the ones in Nourish Balance Thrive Catabolic Blocker do not require the same complex digestion because the tablets are water soluble and the individual amino acids are easily absorbed on contact with the enterocytes. Even though my digestion is much better now, I still take essential amino acid tablets during my rides. I like my water plain, so I'll throw a handful of tablets into my jersey pocket every time I head out. I then take five tablets (5g) for each hour of ride time. Sounds strange, but once you get used to it, it's very easy to swallow five tablets at once and they don't seem to dissolve in my pocket. #2: making sugar from muscle. Exercise, especially hard exercise, is catabolic which is a fancy way of saying a state of breaking down. Even though I remain in ketosis most of the time, glucose is still the most readily usable form of energy and some cells lack the molecular machinery to burn anything other than glucose. For this reason, your liver will produce glucose during exercise in a process called gluconeogenesis. Gluconeogenesis uses protein to make glucose during exercise. The main source is the amino acid alanine liberated from muscle. My hope is that by taking free-form amino acids during exercise I can prevent this catabolism. I certainly notice a difference in muscle soreness after a long and or hard ride and especially after a race. #3: reducing fatigue during exercise. Eating turkey makes you sleepy because it contains the amino acid tryptophan, right? Everyone knows that. The fact that you felt sleepy after eating could have had something to do with the 800 calories of sweet potato mashed with butter and sugar that you ate with the turkey, but still, there is some truth to the tryptophan part. Large, neutral amino acids compete for access across the blood-brain barrier, and during exercise they all disappear into muscles except for tryptophan. With unabated access to the brain, tryptophan is used to make the inhibitory neurotransmitter serotonin and that may contribute to central fatigue. Nourish Balance Thrive Catabolic Blocker contains tryptophan, but the three main ingredients are the other large neutral amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These three are usually referred to as the branched-chain amino acids. The idea is that during exercise, the tablets replace the branched-chain amino acids disappearing into muscle for use as fuel and so we slow down the rate of tryptophan crossing the blood-brain barrier. I'm less sure about this one so I'll give you a reference. Here’s the outline of this interview with Dr. David Minkoff: [0:01] Introduction of Dr. David Minkoff.

How does a personal trainer write a best-selling book? Vinnie Tortorich has become a sensation in the personal training and fitness world because of his work with celebrities and by his moniker, “America's Angriest Trainer.” His book, “Fitness Confidential” has been on the Amazon bestseller list for over 2 years and is currently #6 in the Amazon “health and fitness” category. It’s a bestseller because it’s both funny and helpful. How does a fitness trainer become such a successful writer? Hear Vinnie tell the story himself, in the way that only he can, on this episode. How did Vinnie Tortorich become a personal trainer? Vinnie started using a gym before the commercial ones existed. As a kid, he stepped into a cinder block shed with a metal roof in a neighbor’s back yard. That’s when he first started working out and got interested in health and fitness. There was no such thing as a personal trainer in those days. Vinnie began doing actual training when others saw the results he was getting from his own exercise routines and wanted to know how he was accomplishing it. That was the beginning of a long and multi-faceted career as a trainer and health enthusiast. Listen in to this fun conversation as Christopher asks Vinnie about a variety of topics having to do with health, training, and the culture surrounding them. “America's Angriest Trainer?” How did he get THAT name? Initially Vinnie Tortorich was being told that he needed to have a “name” that was easy to be remembered and passed along via the Internet. That was quite a thing to say to a guy who didn’t even know how to use a computer. He first chose, “America’s Trainer” which was OK, but clearly doesn’t have the same effect. A friend suggested that he call himself “The Angriest Trainer” because of his proneness to rant about the stupid, unhealthy things that the American public has been taught as being “good for them” and “healthy.” He decided to go with it, and the name’s now commonly known in the health and fitness community. If you take the time to listen to this episode you’ll get to hear one of Vinnie’s characteristic rants about trainers and doctors, and why we accept that it’s OK for them to be fat. Vinnie’s fat loss formula: No Sugar, No Grains. Is it really that simple? We tend to be skeptical about something that sounds so simple. How could the removal of just two things from our diets have such dramatic impact? It’s because those two things are THE main things that contribute to over fatness. But it’s not as easy as it sounds. Sugar is in almost everything you buy off the shelf at the grocery story. Grains have become a staple of the Standard American Diet. When you start talking about removing those from your diet, it’s anything BUT simple because our bodies literally become addicted to both. Hear Vinnie’s explanation of how he discovered this truth and how he applies it to those he trains, in this episode. When is the right time to teach people about proper nutrition? Christopher Kelly has noticed that many of the people who come to him for fitness and health coaching have reached a midlife crisis point of some kind. They’ve hit a point where their health issues are starting to surface and they realize they have to do something about it. It’s enough to make him feel that he only wants to take clients who are in that age range! But something Vinnie Tortorich wrote in his book, “Fitness Confidential” made Christopher rethink that. Vinnie tells the story of a young boy whose life was forever changed by the education Vinnie gave him at a critical point in his life. The lasting results he experienced are proof that the right knowledge, applied well early in life, could be the solution to the American health crisis. Hear the whole story on this episode. Here’s the outline of this interview with Vinnie: [0:05] Introduction and welcome to the America's Angriest Trainer: Vinnie Tortorich [0:25] Vinnie’s book: Fitness Confidential (co-authored with Dean Lorey) - you should get it. NOW! [1:13] How Vinnie came to write his book, an interesting and amazing story. [4:43] How the book came to be #6 in Amazon’s health and fitness category with an almost 5-star rating. [6:01] How and why Vinnie got into being a personal trainer, before there were personal trainers. [7:59] Some of the early “famous people” who Vinnie has trained and the stories behind how he met them. [10:37] How Vinnie took the “If you don’t look good, I don’t look good” philosophy and made a business out of it. [12:14] What is the most important part of what Vinnie does, taking people off of sugar and grains? [13:30] Vinnie’s current training schedule with a handful of clients every day, and why he will always be doing it. [14:44] Vinnie’s attitude about the fad diets that come along year after year, and a few stories about it. [18:55] How the paleo diet fits into the “fad diet” category, and how it doesn’t. Vinnie’s got an interesting perspective. [20:10] Christopher’s opinion about the paleo diet and fad diets… Vinnie asked him. [21:19] Why following a diet that had an “end” is setting yourself up for failure. [22:37] How Vinnie became known as “The Angriest Trainer.” [24:35] How the “anger” becomes a positive energy that Vinnie uses to motivate and guide people toward real nutrition. [29:25] Why Christopher thinks the people he’s working with are so highly motivated, and now it relates to a story Vinnie tells about children he has worked with. [35:43] Would the fitness community be better off to focus its attention on educating children about proper nutrition? [37:24] The story about the Disney “It’s A Small World” ride being re-engineered because the average rider is overweight. [38:55] No fat person wants to be fat… and how crazy our culture has become about the use of that word. [42:41] How can a person know if their doctor is truly knowledgeable about nutritional issues? [46:11] What does Vinnie think about Christopher’s lack of “qualifications” to be a nutritional consultant. [52:22] Things Christopher wants to talk about with Vinnie on a future show.
