In this return visit to The Living to 100 Club podcast, Dr. Joseph Casciani welcomes back biochemist and researcher Dr. Joel Brind. We tune in for an updated conversation on the growing interest in glycine and its potential role in healthy aging. Building on their earlier discussion, Dr. Brind explains—in clear, everyday language—why chronic inflammation may be connected to many of today’s most common health concerns. These include insulin resistance, metabolic disorders, cognitive decline, and reduced vitality with aging.
Together, they explore the confusion surrounding modern nutrition advice. What is the relationship between glycine and collagen, and what does emerging research suggest about brain health, memory, and longevity. Dr. Brind also offers practical guidance for listeners curious about glycine supplementation. Our guest discusses why this simple amino acid continues to attract attention in the fields of wellness and preventive health.
Informative, accessible, and thought-provoking, this episode offers listeners a fresh perspective on the connections between nutrition, inflammation, and living better as we age.
