Join Fragle and his friend Andrew Nicholis, in Part 1 of a fascinating discussion on stem cells, amino acids, and protein. Andrew is currently a PhD candidate at University of Taipei Graduate School. He has a rich background in pilates and movement integration and focuses heavily on nutritional health and wellness, specifically protein and aging. 

Their discussion starts with the origin of stem cells and their vital role in longevity and aging. Andrew offers a unique perspective on their commercialization in modern medicine and their relationship to adipose tissue. 

This episode takes a deep dive into the body's efficient ways of recycling amino acids, with a particular focus on the vital role of protein. They examine how autophagy, a natural cleanup process, plays a key part in this recycling. Listeners will gain an appreciation for the complex interplay of genes, as 20,000 genes give rise to  400,000 proteins!

During the final segments, the discussion challenges conventional wisdom about fat and its role in tissue repair and highlights the benefits of maintaining healthy body fat levels.
