Protein&AminoAcids
• Proteinisoneoflife’sbuildingblocks.
• Thebuildingblocksforproteinareaminoacids.
• Youcan’thave“life”withoutaminoacids–that’showimportanttheyare!

SymptomsofAminoAcidDeficiency
– Lowenergylevels(evenchronicfaBgue)
– Depression– Anxiety– MemoryandconcentraBonproblems
– LowthyroidfuncBon(whichaffectseverything!)
– Allergicsymptoms
– DigesBvesymptoms– Inabilitytodetoxifyproperly
– Lossofmusclemass– Increasedbodyfat
WhyDeficienciesMayOccur
• Yousimplydon’teatenoughprotein(orthequalityofproteinyouconsumeisnotideal).Vegetariansavegansmaystrugglehere.
• YourdigesBvesystemcan’tbreakdownyourdietaryproteinproperly,orabsorbitfromyourintesBne.
ProteinandYourGut
• FactorsthataffectproteindigesBonandabsorpBoninclude:
– Lowstomachacidlevels(H.pyloricancausethis)– LowpancreaBcenzymelevels
– IntesBnaldamagefromgluten,Candida,parasites,etc.
ProteinandYourGut
• Youcannothealyourgutwithoutadequateprotein,andyouwon’tmakedigesBveenzymeseffecBvelyastheyaremadefromprotein!
