Main Takeaways:
- Branch chain amino acids like leucine are not metabolized in the liver but are primarily sent to skeletal muscle.

“breakfast is actually really important it's it's important to get protein amino acids in that first meal because if you extend that fasting period by skipping breakfast your body is going to be like I need protein I got to make a bunch of proteins to like have my heartbeat and my kidneys function right so it's going to pull amino acids out of your muscle and so um that can cause muscle atrophy”
Main Takeaways:
- Skipping breakfast extends the fasting period, which can lead to muscle protein breakdown for essential functions.

Main Takeaways:
- High sugar and high fat meals can cause inflammation and intestinal permeability, commonly known as leaky gut.

“one high-intensity exercise does it it's been shown serotonin goes up it goes up because again your lactate is increasing the serotonin but it also goes up because Branch chain amino acids which you're getting when you're eating protein they compete with tryptophan tryptophan is a precursor it has to get into the brain and they compete for transport into the brain with those branch chain amino acids and tryptophan is a precursor for serotonin”
