31: Tryptophan and the Thanksgiving Legend

In this episode, we explore a groundbreaking Stanford University study published in Science that challenges the myth of tryptophan causing sleepiness. Researchers discovered that tryptophan metabolites and a drug called tranilast can suppress the overactive immune response seen in multiple sclerosis. This highlights a fascinating link between diet and immunity with potential therapeutic applications. Tune in to learn how this study opens new doors for understanding the role of tryptophan in immune system regulation and its future dietary implications.
