Episode notes

The traditional belief of only being able to absorb 30 to 50 grams of protein in one sitting has been debunked by a recent study. It is now proven that with the presence of enzymes, one can absorb over 100 grams of protein per meal, which contributes to protein synthesis. Enzymes like broad-spectrum ones containing betaine, HCl, and ox bile are recommended for optimal protein breakdown.

In this episode, Dave and Peter discuss the top 5 health hacks you need to implement in 2024, what nootropics you should know about, and the benefits of psychedelics.
