Today on the Root Cause Medicine podcast. When you're eating protein like a piece of tofu or a piece

of beef or whatever kind of protein you eat, that's full of amino acids. That's where we get most

of our amino acids from our food is from proteins. If you're to can't digest proteins, your gut's not

working well, that's going to undermine things. And then you can also have a utilization issue

where you're burning through

or using up your amino acids at some extreme rate. Let's say you're really, really stressed

and you're making a lot of adrenaline, also known as a catacolemin, you're like in a stress state,

then you could burn through your tyrosine really fast and end up with a tyrosine deficiency

because you're stressed out of your mind and you just used it up. Hello, hello. I'm your host, Dr. Carrie Jones. And today,

I'm talking with the Dr. Dan Kalish from the Kalish Institute, all about amino acids, muscle building,

mitochondria, and recovery. I've been learning from Dr. Kalish for, I don't even know, well over a decade now, and

this podcast does not disappoint.

Did you know that the proteins in your body like insulin, thyroid hormone, or cytokines

come from amino acids?

And if you're deficient in any amino acids, you'll have problems with

those proteins? I know. Keep listening to learn all about it. Before we get started, though,

I want to talk to you about something that comes up pretty often on this podcast, and that, of course,

is lab testing. You see, testing is one essential way to understand the root cause of an illness.

If you are an integrative or functional medicine practitioner,

chances are you're placing a ton of orders with a ton of different labs.
