3316: Myth-Busting: These Amino Acids DO...

Dr. Stephen Cabral
About this episode
There’s a lot of confusion about what truly breaks a fast, especially when it comes to amino acid supplements.     While many companies claim that EAAs and BCAAs won’t break a fast because they don’t spike blood sugar, that’s only part of the picture.     So on today’s episode, I’ll share 3 ways these supplements do impact fasting—and 1 way they don’t.     Join me for Cabral Concept 3316 as we break down the myths and uncover the truth about amino acids and fasting. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!
