Awesome info. Thanks. And a note that might be useful for some, or in the very least amusing for others: It's possible to JUICE raw potatoes to extract most of the protein while leaving behind most of the starch (at least, it seems to me in theory that ought to be the result). The potato juice can then be fried like scrambled eggs, or added to soups. It has a pleasant wholesome potato-y flavor, although the texture can be odd and kinda slimey.

Does supplementing with L-Glutamine help with leaky gut ?

What would mitoswab results showing complexes 2+3 functioning at 7% mean? Could that indicate succinate dehydrogenase deficiency? Even if complex 2 on its own is functioning over 100 percent? Also on lab data, succinate is relatively high in relation to other lab values. Could this strongly indicate succinate dehydrogenase deficiency? Can that suggest severe amino acid deficiency? I have symptoms of severe glutamate deficiency.

Happy birthday!!

Can you please do a video on the citric acid cycle, and what genetic defects with it can cause amino acid deficiency and weak collagen? Thanks 😊

The energy metabolism course has a lot on the citric acid cycle. I should do a whole course on inborn errors of metabolism.

If inborn errors of metabolism includes the citric acid cycle. I am very confused with it. I don’t know why i still dont understand it.. it is only 8 steps. My mitoswab results don't make any sense to me. I think people with defects in the citric acid cycle are deficient in glutamate and aspartate, lets say if it is succinate dehydrogenase that is the issue, which causes amino acid derangement. Do you think s lot of people with weak collagen and poor healing have this issue?

Weak collagen could be a collagen-specific problem like an EDS variant or it could be a respiratory chain problem.

Mitoswab tests the respiratory chain, not the citric acid cycle.

Thank you. What about L-Glutamine supplementation?

Yes that is a way to get glutamine.
