97. The Truth About Protein: Why Perfect Amino Changes Everything


Listen Later

Dr. David Minkoff is one of the most in-demand speakers in the field and wrote an Amazon best-selling book called The Search For The Perfect Protein. The demand for the products and protocols he discovered became a catalyst for founding BodyHealth.Com, a nutrition company that now manufactures and distributes cutting-edge nutritional solutions for the many health problems of today. Additionally, Dr. Minkoff and his wife set up a small clinic in 1997 to help some friends with their medical problems. What began as an experiment blossomed into Lifeworks Wellness Center, one of the most successful clinics for complementary medicine in the United States.


Transitioning from a fast-paced career in emergency medicine, Dr. Minkoff found his calling in alternative healing after a pivotal conference with Dr. Jeffrey Bland. This episode explores the dangers of mercury fillings, highlighted by Dr. Minkoff’s wife's harrowing experience with mercury toxicity and her eventual recovery through detoxification, which fueled their passion for alternative medicine. Additionally, Dr. Minkoff shares his inspiring foray into Ironman triathlons, emphasizing the crucial role of amino acids and protein in recovery and athletic performance. Dr. Minkoff also introduces PerfectAmino, a supplement that efficiently meets protein requirements without raising insulin or glucose levels, making it ideal for athletes and those with dietary concerns.

  • How mercury fillings pose health risks and the dangers of mercury vapor exposure.
  • Why Dr. Minkoff's wife's mercury toxicity led them to explore alternative medicine solutions.
