  Speaker 1: back to the episode.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast dedicated to revealing the profound
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: connections between body, mind, and spirit, where we believe that
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: true wellness arises from addressing the root causes of our
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: health challenges, not just masking the symptoms. Here we dive
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: deep into how holistic approaches such as advanced chiropractic care,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can transform your life.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Now Here is doctor Troy.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. One of the things
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: we don't realize is how vitally important protein is. I've
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: made podcasts on limiting protein to basically help the body repair,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: rebuild itself. Starve it of protein. It'll go after inflammation,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: it'll go after weak cells that should be gone. It's
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: gonna eat up scar tissue. And that's that's awesome and important.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: But just simply having the right protein in our diet
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: is hugely beneficial. And I just was reading an article
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: on leucine, one of the eight amino acids that we
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: can't manufacture, and there is some evidence that there's a ninth,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: but to each zone. This one is particularly interesting because
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: it comes from meat, and so we have a lot
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: of vegetarians out there, and it's rather difficult to get
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: some amino acids that are so vital to the building
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: blocks of the body, and leucine is definitely one of those.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: And so what they just found is that lucine actually
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: stabilizes the mitochondrial membrane. They might be thinking, I have
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: no idea what you just said. Mitochondria are are the
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: energy production a factories, if you will, of every cell
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: in our body. So our cells use a molecule called
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: ATP and it does a ton of things. But first,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: just you know, simplicity steak. If we were going to
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: go to the store and buy something and use a
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: five dollars bill, ATP would kind of be like that
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: currency of the cell. And so ATP is produced in
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: the mitochondria and it requires a fair amount of trace
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: minerals B vitamins in order to take sugar and make ATP,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: or reuse a DP and make ATP. ADP is addison
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: diphosphate meaning two phosphate molecules, and addison triphosphate. ATP is three.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: So it's basically pulling a phosphorus and putting it on
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: ADP and making ATP. In order to do that, it
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: goes through a series of chemical reactions so that we
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: can make that molecule effortlessly or with as little effort
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: as possible, so that when we break free that phosphorus,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: that phosphorus atom off of ATP, it generates a tremendous
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: amount of heat that runs the process of enzymatically producing
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: whatever the cell needs, whether it's hormones that it has
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: to produce, whether it's repairing DNA, whether it's making heat
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: shock proteins, whatever it is. There are hundreds of different
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: things that the cells do with proteins, and the membrane
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: of the mitochondria actually are super helpful in having this happen,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: and so leucine itself is now helping that ability of
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: the mitochondria to be more and more efficient so that
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: we can produce more energy and feel more energetic and
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: feel great. Now, if we were gonna just say, okay, well,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: where do I get loucine in my diet? Well, most meat,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: whether it's chicken, fish, eggs, beef, it doesn't matter. You're
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: gonna get it from all those sources. But the problem
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: is can you digest it? So strong digestion is always
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: at the foundation of anything that we take, even if
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: it were a protein supplement. Like let's say that we
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: go to the gross store and we buy isolucine or
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: lucine or largenine or ellysine or any of these amino
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: acids that we might take. Some are essential, some or not.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: It still requires a very strong digestive potency. And as
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: we age, we digest less and less well. So if
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: you feel like you're getting flabby flesh and you're not
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: maintaining muscle tone, you should be looking at digestion first
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: and foremost, and then at what sources of protein are
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: you getting? Are you overcooking the protein? Are you buying
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: protein powders that are denatured and you don't know it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Proteins are sensitive to heat. We try not to overcook them.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: It's like an egg. You don't want to fry the
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: crap out of it. You do want to bring it
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: up and slow heat and cook it and not necessarily
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: destroy it. If you're going to hard boil it, fine,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: a s boiled egg is probably better. So there's all
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: these ideas when it comes around getting protein that is
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: actually decent for you. So, in a nutshell, what does
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: protein do for our body? What do these amino acids
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: actually accomplish? Everything from the immune system to building the
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: internal structures of every cell. Bone itself is incredibly protein rich.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: So that's why bone broth forever has been, you know,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: a staple as getting you back to health because you
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: need these proteins. And when you slowly simmer bones with
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: vegetables and garlic and all these different things, you would
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: have now this really rich broth that is actually helping
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: the body rebuild itself much much faster. Hormones are made
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: from protein. Heat shock proteins that protect our cells from
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: too much heat or actually too much cold. Believe it
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: or not, they work both directions, and then of course,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: you know, protecting the cells themselves from all kinds of things.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: There's all these mechanisms, not just heat shock proteins. We
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: have proteins that float around in our blood like albulin
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: and globulin that are immunoglobulins that protect our immune system
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: that way. So proteins are incredibly rich throughout the body,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: and to limit them is something we would want to question.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: And if you're doing that, you may want to rethink
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: that a little bit. Now. Are there supposedly humane ways
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: to get protein? Of course those are all of your
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: philosophical basis, But if you don't have any problem with it,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: then I recommend that you go with a pastured any
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: kind of animal, as well as not cooking it so
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: darn much. So I hope that makes sense. I hope
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: that gave you kind of an appreciation for amino acids
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: and proteins and how the body uses those things and
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: what do we do and what do we need and
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: where do they come from? Until next time, I'm doctor Troy,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: and remember there is way more right with you than
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: there is wrong with you.
