Ben Greenfield Q&A: Detox Myths, Amino Acids While Fasting, Muscle Gain Protocols, Cell Phone Dangers & Much More!
Boundless Life
Intro
The host recounts their experiences at a detox retreat in Switzerland, highlighting various treatments and the benefits of a protein-restricted cleanse. This chapter also explores European biological medicine and promotes holistic health practices, including upcoming retreats and a supplement company.
In this podcast, recorded during the Swiss Clinic retreat that I led in the Swiss Alps two weeks ago, we cover a host of questions from attendees.
Strap yourself in and prepare for this massive Q&A that includes the following: -Are you increasing mTOR by taking Kion Aminos throughout the day vs. around a workout? [6:25]- 1 gram of amino acids = 1 gram of protein
- Any protein can be anabolic
