Most of you people don't have this under control so listen:
Almost nobody knows shit about the amino acids they consume so let me educate you real quick.
Amino acids are basically the ingredients of a protein.
Not every protein is the same because they all have different aminos.
This is why protein in beef is very different from soy.
The aminos: Tryptophan and Methionine will deplete your Glycine.
Guess where you get the first two from: egg whites, chicken, muscle meat, grains, beans etc.
basically 99% of your protein sources.
guess what has glycine?
organs, tendons, bone broth/marrow.
you likely can see the problem here lready, the modern diet is way too high in Tryptophan and Methionine in comparison to Glycine.
This is a bigger problem than you think it is.
Imbalance of these amino acids can cause mental problems, sleep problems, digestive issues etc.
You fall even deeper into the rabbit hole when you realize that Glycine is pro-GABA and Tryptophan is the precursor of Serotonin.
Thus meaning that your amino balance heavily influences your neurotransmitter balance.
AND THEREBY YOUR ENTIRE
"B-b-but isn't serotonin good?"
It has it's place, but you definitely have an excess.
Studies have shown that a diet low in Tryptophan increases your T3, Testosterone and Growth Hormone.
So how do you solve this?
Start by eating more meats with bone, more red meat, more organs and start incorporating grass fed gelatin into your diet.
At the same time just watch out with eating kilos of egg whites and muscle meat in your diet.
You could also supp with Glycine. (Collagen peptides, hydrolyzed collagen, bone broth or gelatin)
