Are you over 50 and wondering why your body doesn’t heal the way it used to — even with good nutrition and exercise? In this talk based on Dr. William Li’s approach, we break down the #1 amino acid your body needs at night to activate tissue repair, boost metabolism, improve sleep quality, and slow the aging process naturally. You’re about to learn the science‑backed physiology behind nighttime healing, how hormonal signals work while you sleep, and the simple protocol (food + timing + supplements) you can use starting tonight to preserve muscle, balance blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and enhance longevity — all without prescription drugs. 🍽️💪🧬

🔥 In this video, we cover:
✔ Why healing happens at night
✔ The role of leucine and muscle protein synthesis
✔ How aging changes amino acid needs
✔ Best nighttime strategies to fix root causes, not symptoms
✔ Actionable tips seniors can use tonight
