The Glycine Masterclass, with Dr. Joel Brind

IN THIS EPISODE

What if the most overlooked nutrient in your diet isn't a vitamin or a mineral, but a simple amino acid your body already makes?

In this episode of the ReThink Health Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Joel Brind, a biochemist with over 50 years in medical research and the author of The Glycine Miracle.

Dr. Brind has spent nearly two decades studying glycine, and he makes the case that this "nonessential" amino acid may actually be the body's primary regulator of inflammation. Unfortunately, most of us are falling short by as much as 10 grams a day… which translates to a shockingly wide range of health problems today.

You'll learn:

Why glycine is technically "nonessential," and why your body likely can't make nearly enough of it on its own

Why meat eaters surprisingly have less glycine in their blood than vegans

How glycine acts as a molecular gatekeeper, controlling whether immune cells stay calm or launch a full inflammatory response

Which modern eating habits may be driving a glycine deficiency

Why higher natural glycine levels translate to a lower risk of major cardiac events

New research on how restoring glycine to aging cells can reverse markers of mitochondrial aging

Why Dr. Brind believes chronic, unresolved inflammation after everyday injuries like sunburns or sprains isn't actually "normal"
