Glutamine

“I'm a fan of pre-pros, postbiotics. I'm a fan of L-glutamine. L-glutamine. L-glutamine. Without L-glutamine, I wouldn't be able to help a lot of the people that I help. So just supplementing with L-glutamine.”

“So it has to be in an empty stomach, nothing to eat at least half an hour after you take it. So let's say wake up, brush your teeth, a little bit of water, L-glutamine. I say do glutamine before you brush your teeth. But yes. Okay. Yeah. And you do three to five grams? Three to five grams.”

“And then you take it nothing for half an hour. Okay. And you go brush your teeth and then you have breakfast. And then you do it again at night. Okay. So that's the way I use L-glutamine with people that have moderate to severe leaky gut. Okay. Or that I suspect, because many times I don't even do blood tests or things.”

“Now, let's get back to the Ultimate Human podcast. You can see skin, eyes, immediately. Yeah. Okay, so L-glutamine. L-glutamine, magnesium, B12. Magnesium, B12. Methylated B12. Ah, you're singing my tune, my brother. Yes, methylated B12. Bring it.”

“therefore energy is stolen from the detoxification system. Right. So I, so, anyways, replacing meals with liquid meals, these kits, they have the liquid meals, they have the probiotics, the how long do these last? The L-glutamine, everything. It's a 21-day program.”

“And so I worked with her directly and she helped Crohn's colitis. It didn't help me for whatever reason. So I met a Harvard doctor who developed the early research on high-dose glutamine for inflammatory bowel disease and short bowel syndrome. So I went to the best, but it wasn't until I met a man by telephone.”

“master's and PhD looking in kinesiology. So it's interesting that I fell into creatine supplementation research by accident. I was doing my master's on an amino acid called glutamine. And at the time, about 20, 30 years ago, glutamine was the biggest rage. Everybody was taking this non-essential amino acid and hoping that it would have body composition improvements. And I sort of determined”

“Okay, fine. So we have some argument for the conditional actually coming into practice with those people. Then you have the kind of area of glutamine with gut health stuff. And then we actually see that a little bit transfer over to even brain health. And you specifically like post-concussion protocols,”

“that's it. So I have a few thoughts on glutamine one that's interesting TBI because glutamine is it's like it gets converted into you know it gets used by mitochondria as well as a source of energy totally and in fact I did a lot of research in graduate school with glutamine and T cells and activated T cells and this is kind of where I got into this I'm I now take glutamine for immune reasons.”

“on long endurance athletes you know you glutamine it yes I'm at you're taking multiple chicken at two times a are you splitting up your dose I'm not sometimes if I if there's an exposure I'll take it three times a day like so if my son all the sensors sneezing I'm like okay you just scoop but so glutamine is it's used to buy it by activated T cells and and it just dawned on me I'd like”

“so much to be discovered with glutamine yeah that I hope people are going to research that more but we do almost always 10 grams twice a day morning and night like that's a pretty thing especially if we have any inclination or direct evidence of actual gut issues that's a common one if we want to drop it then back down to 10 grams total a day like we will do that but we will generally live at”
