Chris’ Secret for Extraordinary Focus and Clarity

Back when I was writing my first book, Beyond Pritikin, I worked with an extraordinarily fast computer whiz, Chris, who transcribed my handwritten manuscript. This was before the personal computer era. Because Chris held a full-time 9-to-5 job aside from helping me, we often worked through the night to get it done.

And because Chris was so capable and helpful, I agreed to stay up late and work alongside her. I marveled at her consistent mental focus—even after a full day of work.

What was her energy secret?

Chris kept herself going through the night by taking a scoop of a special amino acid every three hours which provided her with an alternative fuel source for the brain.

This powdered amino acid that she mixed in cold water—known as l-glutamine—was recommended to her by a nutritional biochemist who told her the drink would keep her brain alert and tummy trim.

So I was not surprised years later to learn of more breakthrough discoveries about the many therapeutic values of glutamine.

Where to find this miracle substance? You’ll find my most trusted brands on my Fullscript dispensary. Just type “L-glutamine” into the search bar.
