Description
On February 23, members of the CMJ Masterpass joined me in a live Zoom meeting to ask me anything about nutrition, and here’s the full recording! We talked about lots and lots of things: 5-HTP versus tryptophan; unusually low appetite, my recommendations for glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency; choline and cognitive decline; how to gain muscle mass; side effects of vitamin B6; balancing thyroid hormones; which form of niacin to take for anti-aging (nicotinamide riboside, NR, versus nicotinamide mononucleotide, NMN); high cholesterol; measuring omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid status; handling MSG sensitivity; sulforophane; unraveling an apparent urea cycle defect; harms of vitamin E for GSTP polymorphisms... …. and much more!
