Biochemist Explains: Most People Don't Know They're Glycine Deficient (And It's Harming Them)

Glycine is your body's natural blood thinner. That's probably the easiest way to put it. The normal diet gives you 2,000 or 3,000 milligrams a day of glycine, but guess what? It's not enough. I got zero inflammation because I was taking 10 grams a day of glycine. In order to have a heart attack, you probably

need to be glycine deficient. It's normal to have minor, micro injuries to your arteries, even your coronary arteries all the time. But if you're glycine deficient, you then get inflammation following from injury. One of the most significant results I've ever seen, just people who have CPS1 deficiency, men don't get heart attacks. The worst processing is cutting the meat off the

bone and throwing the bones away. That's the worst kind of meat processing that we do. Glycine is maybe the second most abundant amino acid in the body, but yet most people are deficient in it. I had to pinch myself a few times years ago. When I first made these discoveries, it was like,

is this real? Could it be this simple? And people to this day still tell me, ah, it can't be that simple. Hi everyone. We've got an episode all about the link between glycine and heart disease, keeping our heart healthy. Can glycine be a part of it? We have statins, we have surgery, we have blood

pressure medications, and heart disease is our number one killer. But Dr. Brent over here, a biochemist who studied immunology and nutrition actually, and glycine extensively, Yale-trained, as credible as it comes. And we're gonna talk about it. We're gonna break it down for you because he believes glycine is a missing piece of this

puzzle. And glycine is also something many of us are deficient in because of the way that we're eating today. All the muscle meats, none of the connective tissues, and the bones, and the other parts of the animal that actually contain the balancing glycine. So welcome to the show, Dr. Brent. I'm really excited to dive in.
