Dr. Tom Roselle DC and Dr. Joel Brind, PhD discuss the functions and anti-inflammatory effects of glycine, and how dietary glycine supplementation is important in avoiding the development of chronic inflammation.

JOEL'S BOOK - THE GLYCINE MIRACLE: THE SCIENCE OF LIVING LONG AND FREE FROM INFLAMMATION HERE: https://sweetamine.com/in-the-media/ For the past 17 years, the author, a PhD in life sciences, has studied the amino acid glycine and its effects on the human body. This research has made clear to him that due to the typical Western diet, virtually all Americans suffer from an insufficient level of glycine, and this has resulted in a misunderstanding by the medical community of the natural function of inflammation as a proper response to injury. Dr. Brind has found that bodies in the glycine-deficient state typically develop inappropriate or excessive—and sometimes fatal—inflammation in response to a variety of physical or chemical stresses or injuries or infections, leading to chronic inflammation and ultimately resulting in disorders such as arthritis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. His research has made clear to him that in reality inflammation is only a natural function of the immune system as a first response to infection and that taking an adequate supplement of glycine daily can mitigate, and often eliminate, the inappropriate inflammation the body creates, which can result in a longer and healthier life. #agelesshealth #podcast @wmaldc #inflammation #glycine
