Did you know there is a simple molecule found on comets in deep space that is also the primary building block holding your skin, cartilage, tendons, and gut together?In this video, Dr. Ashley Froese breaks down the Biological Math Error behind Glycine—the "non-essential" amino acid that your body is almost certainly running a massive daily deficit on. Learn why modern lean-meat diets deplete your internal glycine stores, how your body performs "biological triage" when glycine runs low, and practical ancestral and supplemental ways to restore your collagen, joint health, antioxidant defenses, and deep sleep.🔗 FEATURED LINKS and RESOURCES📊 Track Your Body Composition (Hume Body Pod): Track fat, muscle mass, and metabolic metrics at home (Matches DEXA scan accuracy).
