I have been prescribed isotretinoin (Accutane) for severe acne, but there are concerns about its impact on the brain, particularly the hippocampus and cortex, and its potential effects on memory and cognitive function. I would greatly appreciate your expert opinion on whether isotretinoin can indeed have such effects.
Could you explore the relationship between BCCAAs and insulin resistance? Many supplement with whey derived protein powders to meet their daily requirements. However, whey protein also has a significant amounts of BCCAs which can cause insulin resistance. Also, are there any protein powders that do not have BCAAs? Or is there a way to negate the insulin resistance that may develop from the use of protein powders? Thank you.
