1/4) You Did NOT Know THIS About Protein Bioavailability💪
Full vid 🔗 at end & what's to come...
New research in shows how specific 🧬 in #microbiome impact amino acid bioavailability
🦠Specific “amino acid gobbling” microbes get first pass at your protein... But there’s more!
2/4) This not only effects circulating levels of amino acid building blocks for proteins...
But amino acids are also precursors to signaling molecules/hormones, e.g. Tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin
🍩Therefore alternating in specific amino acid gobbling bugs can alter downstream molecules (e.g. serotonin levels) to alter metabolism (e.g. impair glucose tolerance)
3/4) Take-aways… 🤔‘SO WHAT?!’ 🤔
IMHO the broader lesson here, I think, is "mind your gut bugs."
In my opinion, the most important thing you can do by your microbiome is avoid Ultra-Processed Foods (yes, it’s a ‘fluffy’ category, but - here - a useful heuristic).
If given my druthers, this is one more reason I’m choosing eggs over a Quest bar or a Nick’s bar every time.
I’m also low-key annoyed they stole my name! JERKS!
4/4) Links & Up-And-Coming
👀Full Video! youtu.be
👀Coming: 5 Amazing Facts about Protein and Muscle video.
Will play off content in the @hubermanlab @drgabriellelyon podcast (BTW 🙌kudos on the great reception!) + supplementation of new data published since those two gems of humans recorded their episode, as well as some deep dives into the sub-cellular biology
Also please check out the 5th #StayCurious Weekly Newsletter, where you’ll get something… well… different and distinctively “Nick Norwitz”
