Summary
This week, Dr. Kahn discusses his long-standing interest in the amino acid glycine and its potential health benefits. Sleep is a key focus, highlighted by a new report on the widespread difficulty adults face in getting a full night's rest. Glycine may also offer favorable cardiovascular support. Additional topics include coffee and aging, methamphetamines and heart attacks, Lipoprotein(a) and cardiovascular risk, yoga and overall health, a tribute to Eugene Braunwald, MD, TMAO and atherosclerosis, and a new study on the benefits of adopting heart-healthy habits early in life.
