Do Turkey Dinners Really Make You Tired? → HERE'S WHY

The video explores why people feel tired after a Thanksgiving turkey dinner. It explains that while turkey contains tryptophan, which can convert to melatonin and cause tiredness, the main reason for post-meal fatigue is the high carbohydrate content of the meal, leading to an insulin spike. The video details the biosynthetic pathway of tryptophan to melatonin and discusses how insulin affects nutrient absorption, allowing more tryptophan to be converted into melatonin.
