Dr Robert Wolfe | Mastering Liver Health: Exploring Amino Co’s Essential Amino Acids for Fatty Liver and Detoxification
Guest: Dr. Robert Wolfe Dr. Wolfe’s went to college at UC Berkeley, where he was a 3-sport varsity athlete, playing basketball, track, and golf. After college, Dr. Wolfe went back to school for his PhD which led to a career in clinical research. The focus of Dr. Wolfe’s research is on the regulation of muscle metabolism, particularly as affected by aging and stressors such as injury, sepsis and cancer. His research has been performed largely in human patients and normal volunteers. Dr. Wolfe has developed models using stable isotopes to quantify a variety of metabolic processes in human subjects including the oxidation and production of fatty acids, various aspects of carbohydrate metabolism, and the rates of muscle protein synthesis, breakdown, and the transport of amino acids between blood and muscle tissue. Dr. Wolfe served as a faculty member at Harvard Medical School for nine years, and is currently the Director of the Center for Translational Research in Aging and Longevity at the Reynolds Institute on Aging in Little Rock, Arkansas. He has published over 500 peer-reviewed research articles, three books, and holds many active patents. Dr. Wolfe is a co-founder of The Amino Company, which was formed to bring his patented amino acid formulas, developed over 40 years of clinical research, to the public.   Summary Dr. Robert Wolf discusses the importance of protein and amino acids in the diet, the differences between animal and plant protein, and the recommended daily protein intake. He also explains the benefits of amino acid supplementation for specific conditions and the importance of balanced amino acid formulations. Dr. Wolf emphasizes the role of amino acids in liver health and detoxification, particularly the benefits of histidine. Overall, amino acids play a crucial role in maintaining optimal health and function. In this conversation, Bob Wolfe discusses the role of amino acids in liver health, specifically in the context of fatty liver disease. He explains that fatty liver disease is not solely caused by alcoholism, but is also common in individuals with obesity. Wolfe's research has shown that reducing methionine and increasing other amino acids can effectively reduce liver fat. Additionally, he mentions the potential anti-inflammatory effects of amino acids and the importance of routine dosing and timing for optimal results.   Takeaways Protein is essential for optimal health and function, and amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Animal protein is generally more easily digested and absorbed than plant protein, but plant-based proteins can be combined to meet nutritional requirements. A high protein intake, above the recommended daily amount, can have numerous health benefits and is well within dietary guidelines. Amino acid supplementation can provide additional benefits beyond what can be achieved with dietary protein alone. Amino acids play a crucial role in liver health and detoxification, and histidine is particularly important in reducing liver fat and inflammation.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Background 07:48 The Importance of Protein in the Diet 15:11 Animal Protein vs. Plant Protein 16:23 Recommended Daily Protein Intake 21:27 Protein Intake for Specific Conditions 27:41 The Difference Between Branched-Chain Amino Acids and Essential Amino Acids 36:33 The Importance of Balanced Amino Acid Formulations 43:07 Amino Acid Supplementation for Aging 50:36 The Role of Amino Acids in Liver Health and Detoxification 55:36 The Benefits of Histidine in Liver Health and Detoxification 58:13 Fatty Liver Disease: Alcoholic vs. Non-Alcoholic 01:02:48 The Role of Aminos in Liver Health 01:07:17 Aminos and Kidney Support 01:09:41 Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Aminos 01:11:55 Dosing and Timing of Aminos   Use code ITP30 for 30% off at Amino Co. https://aminoco.com/     Advertisements:   Zeolite Labs Zeocharge: Use Code ITP for 10% off https://www.zeolitelabs.com/product-page/zeocharge?ref=ITP M

Catharine Arnston | Nature’s Health Insurance Policy : Algae’s Evolution from Cyanobacteria to Mitochondria
Guest: Catherine Arnston Catharine started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae. When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking). As Catharine dug into the science of algae, she learned it had 64% protein, 40 vitamins/minerals and was endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient dense food in the world. She also discovered there were 100,000 studies documenting its long list of benefits and it was the most sustainable, eco-friendly food crop in the world. And yet algae remained virtually unknown outside of Asia. How could this be possible? Catharine knew algae could be a game changer for our health, our children and our world if she could only convince people it wasn't weird. And so ENERGYbits was born. It took Catharine ten years to bring algae into the mainstream and build ENERGYbits into a national company. We're glad she finally did, because now you and your family can benefit from our naturally grown, toxin-free, Non-GMO algae tablets too. A handful will help satisfy your hunger, help give you steady energy, and help ensure your nutritional needs are met. All this from a food that has one ingredient, no chemicals, caffeine, sugar or processing and is the most sustainable, safe, eco-friendly, crop in the world - algae. Your body and Mother Earth say thank you. And we do too. Use Code ITP for 20% off Energy Bits: https://energybits.com/ Summary Catharine Arnston discusses the benefits of algae and its role in promoting health and well-being. She shares her personal journey of discovering algae and its impact on her sister's health.
