A Guide to Amino Acid and Protein Nutrition. Essential Amino Acid Solutions for Everyone (The EAASE Program)

Now available for the first time in E-Book format, the world's leading PhD expert on Amino Acid nutrition shares this comprehensive look into exciting new field of Amino Acid Nutrition! 

Dietary Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) are the fundamental building blocks of life as we know it. EAAs are the “active” components of dietary protein and as such are the only macronutrients required for survival, yet the benefits of optimal EAA nutrition are generally underappreciated. In this groundbreaking new book Dr. Wolfe shares the secrets to losing weight, correcting metabolic imbalances and enhancing quality of life through amino acid nutrition. This book takes the latest in cutting-edge nutritional therapy research and makes it easy for everyone to understand. You’ll learn how to improve your health, increase your strength, and gain more energy in everything you do. 

EAASE (Essential Amino Acid Solutions for Everyone) is a lifestyle program designed by Dr. Wolfe which combines simple nutrition and exercise strategies with regular use of dietary supplements of essential amino acids (EAAs) to lose weight, improve health and gain strength. This revolutionary program is based on documented scientific principles of physiology and nutrition. Exercise recommendations to benefit muscle and overall physical health are designed to work together with the nutritional components of the program for maximum benefit. 

The early chapters of the book contain a basic overview of the role of amino acids in the body. This information is followed by a discussion of the ways in which amino acids maintain the functions of skeletal muscle, brain and liver. The processes by which the body generates energy is described as the foundation for the EAASE program for weight management. Finally, the specifics of the EAASE program for a variety of common circumstances are described. Each chapter concludes with “Essentials”, a bullet-point listing of the key points and important facts on each topic to provide reinforcement of ideas and an easy way to reference information.
