264: Fasting + Amino Acids: The Secret to Boosting Brain Health, Gut Health, & Fat Loss
Listen now
Description
In this episode of the Low Carb Hustle, we dive into the powerful combination of fasting and amino acids to boost brain health, improve gut function, and accelerate fat loss. Discover how fasting triggers autophagy, a natural process of cellular cleanup, while supplementing with branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) like leucine, isoleucine, and valine helps preserve muscle and optimize energy levels. We also explore the role of glutamine in repairing the gut lining and enhancing insulin sensitivity, making this strategy a game-changer for anyone looking to improve health and performance.
