Oxidative stress is one of the primary drivers of aging, inflammation, and chronic disease — and glutathione may be the body's most powerful defense. In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Nayan Patel, internationally recognized pharmacist and author of The Glutathione Revolution, to break down the science behind the body's “master antioxidant.”As we age, glutathione production declines. When intracellular glutathione drops, oxidative stress rises — damaging mitochondria, accelerating cellular aging, impairing detoxification, and increasing vulnerability to metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases. Dr. Patel explains why glutathione must work inside the cell to be effective, why many oral supplements fail, and how absorption and delivery systems matter.The conversation explores:• How free radicals damage DNA and mitochondria• Why glutathione outperforms traditional antioxidants• The relationship between glutathione, vitamin C, and NAD• The impact of alcohol, sleep deprivation, and stress on antioxidant reserves• Why athletes and high performers burn through glutathione faster• How deep breathing influences oxidative balance and longevityWhether you are focused on longevity, detoxification, athletic recovery, or preventing chronic disease, this episode offers a science-based framework for understanding oxidative stress and how to optimize your cellular resilience.

Failed IVF with normal sperm? You're not alone, and the answer may be in what wasn't tested. DNA fragmentation and oxidative stress don't show up on a standard semen analysis. But they can drive fertilization failure, embryo arrest, and poor blastocyst development. If the male side was cleared after the basic parameters were evaluated, it may not have been fully evaluated. In this episode, you'll learn: What a semen analysis actually measures and what it leaves out Why normal parameters don't always translate to embryo development How DNA fragmentation and oxidative stress affect fertilization and blastocyst outcomes The patterns we see in recurrent IVF failure when male factor hasn't been fully assessed Why embryo development is a shared biological process, not an egg quality issue I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally, a podcast with over 1 million downloads.

Academic Summary:d-Limonene (LIM) has emerged as an exceptionally effective dietary bioactive for the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia. This 2026 study demonstrates that LIM provides multi-level protection by suppressing the NLRP3-IL-1β inflammatory axis and restoring redox homeostasis through the elevation of endogenous antioxidants like SOD and GSH. Beyond its anti-inflammatory efficacy, LIM acts as a powerful nephroprotective and hepatoprotective agent, preserving renal and hepatic integrity even under metabolic stress. These findings position d-Limonene as a premier nutraceutical adjuvant for comprehensive gout managementAlchepharma,Ralph Turchiano,citation,research,study,d-Limonene,Gout relief,Natural anti-inflammatory,Citrus peel extract,Uric acid protection,Kidney health,Liver protection,Glutathione booster,Superoxide dismutase,Joint cartilage regeneration,Bioactive compounds,Monoterpenes,Gouty arthritis,Hyperuricemia,Oxidative stress relief,Chronic inflammation,Natural gout treatment,Renal integrity,Hepatoprotection,IL-1beta suppression,Healthy joints.#dLimonene #GoutRelief #HealthProtection #Biohacking #ScienceFacts #TheCatalyst #Nutraceuticals #MetabolicHealth #STEM #naturalhealing InfoGraphics: www.clinicalnews.orgVenkatesan K, Muralidharan P, Sivadasan D, et al.

In this eye-opening conversation, Dylan sits with telecommunications engineer Daniel DeBaun to explore how modern electromagnetic fields (EMFs) interact with human biology and what we can do to maintain strong cellular energy in an increasingly wireless world.Our bodies are fundamentally electrical. Every nerve impulse, heartbeat, and cellular signal depends on delicate electrical gradients. Yet today we are constantly surrounded by artificial electromagnetic signals from mobile phones, WiFi routers, laptops, Bluetooth devices, and expanding wireless infrastructure.Drawing on more than 30 years of experience inside the telecommunications industry, Daniel explains what electromagnetic fields actually are, the difference between ionising and non-ionising radiation, and how radiofrequency signals interact with biological systems. The discussion explores emerging research around voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), oxidative stress, and mitochondrial function, offering insight into how environmental electromagnetic exposure may influence cellular signalling and energy metabolism.Rather than approaching the topic from a place of fear, this episode focuses on awareness and resilience. Dylan and Daniel share practical strategies to reduce EMF exposure in everyday life, helping listeners navigate modern technology while supporting long-term health.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

Today's episode explores a growing issue in both dentistry and public health: microplastics and nanoplastics, often called MNPs. What are micro- and nanoplastics? Microplastics are tiny plastic particles smaller than 5 millimeters, while nanoplastics are even smaller—less than 1 micrometer. These particles are now found everywhere in the environment, including water, air, soil, and even inside the human body. Researchers have already detected them in blood, lungs, placenta, breast milk, and stool. Plastics contain over 13,000 chemicals, and thousands of these substances may be harmful to human health, including carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, and neurotoxic compounds. Why does this matter for dentistry? Dentistry is both a source and pathway of exposure to micro- and nanoplastics. Several common dental materials and devices release these particles, including: Resin-based composite fillings Clear aligners and orthodontic appliances Prosthetic materials like dentures Impression materials used for dental molds These materials can release microplastics through wear, degradation, polishing, and everyday use. Oral care products as another source Daily oral hygiene products also contribute to exposure. Examples include: Toothpastes Toothbrushes Dental floss Mouthwashes Over time, these products can release small plastic particles that may be ingested or inhaled, leading to chronic exposure. Possible effects on oral health Research suggests that micro- and nanoplastics may affect the oral environment in several ways, including: Irritation of oral tissues Disruption of the oral microbiome Damage to oral cells Potential genotoxic effects Some studies also suggest that long-term exposure could contribute to oral cancer, although more research is needed. Systemic health concerns Because these particles are so small, they can cross biological barriers and spread throughout the body. Experimental studies show they may cause: Oxidative stress Inflammation Immune system disruption Hormonal interference Microbiome imbalance Potential effects on fertility, brain health, and development Microplastics can also act as carriers for other environmental toxins, which may increase their harmful effects. Awareness and regulation Despite the growing evidence, the review highlights that clinical awareness in dentistry is still limited, and regulatory oversight remains insufficient. Many dental professionals may not yet consider microplastic release when selecting materials or products. Want to see more of The Holistic Dentistry Show? Watch our episodes on YouTube!

In this short episode, I discuss the relationship between accelerated aging “oxidative stress.” Oxidative stress is what accelerates aging, promotes chronic illness, including brain related conditions, and depletes our energy, focus and quality of life.Our left brain would like to control our bodies and the natural order of things, while our right brain would have us paying more attention to our embodied short existence on this planet. Instead of focusing on “anti-aging,” we could consider ways to lower oxidative stress (in a relaxed way). Here, I comment on:* The double bind of aging in these times* What oxidative stress is* Signs and health conditions associated with oxidative stress* Causes of oxidative stress* General ways to address oxidative stress (more on this in future episodes)* The importance of lowering oxidative stress in a relaxed way (so as to not have undo stress increasing oxidative stress!)I look forward to sharing more details on limiting exposures, and supporting our antioxidant and detoxifications systems in future episodes.As always, I welcome your thoughts and questions. I learn a lot from you.Until next time,CourtneyTo learn more about my discovery calls, non-patient consultations, treatment or to inquire about mentoring, please visit my website at:CourtneySnyderMD.comReferenced Resources:Understanding the Impact of Toxins on the Brain and Brain DevelopmentMedical Disclaimer:This newsletter is for educational purposes and not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment for either yourself or others, including but not limited to patients that you are treating (if you are a practitioner).

You've been lied to about age spots. Skin discoloration known as age spots isn't just “sun spots" and is not simply the result of getting older. In this video, I'll show you how to get rid of age spots naturally by addressing the root cause. Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine:  https://drbrg.co/45qtO070:00 Introduction: What causes age spots?0:37 Age spots on hands and face 1:15 Age spot causes 2:16 Oxidative stress and hyperpigmentation3:56 Selenium and dark spots on skin6:45 Copper and age spots7:54 Clear skin tips If you have age spots on your face and hands, you're often offered lasers or creams that don't work or make matters worse. Hyperpigmentation, or age spots, is caused by melanin, the naturally occurring pigment in your skin that protects you from ultraviolet light and free radical damage. Dark spots on the skin are actually a protective mechanism.Melanin spots are caused by uneven melanin production, which means there's a problem with the regulator in the melanocyte, the cell that produces melanin. This is often caused by oxidative stress. Glutathione regulates melanin and reduces oxidation. Without enough glutathione, you can't regulate melanin, which can lead to melanin spots. Low selenium can cause your glutathione levels to decline. Two Brazil nuts per day offer all the selenium you need. You can also get selenium from shellfish. High-quality animal protein is vital for glutathione production. The demand for glutathione increases in menopausal women. If you're dealing with chronic stress, you'll also need more glutathione. Copper is a trace mineral that helps your body make melanin. Too much or too little copper can cause issues with melanin production. Zinc can help regulate copper. After working to increase your glutathione levels, it can take 30 days to 6 weeks to see improvement in your hyperpigmentation. In the meantime, try a vitamin C serum to address dark spots on the skin topically. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

In this Resilience Unravelled episode, host Russell interviews Brad Ley in Texas about oxygen and exercise with oxygen therapy (EWOT). Ley explains he turned to oxygen therapy about a decade ago after chronic illness and autoimmune conditions, including psoriasis and autoimmune arthritis, when standard drugs carried serious risks and he developed melanoma. He contrasts EWOT with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, noting hard-shell hyperbaric treatments were recommended to him but were too expensive and time-consuming. Ley describes “inflammaging,” where inflamed blood vessels and swollen capillaries restrict oxygen delivery, pushing cells into anaerobic respiration, lowering energy production and increasing inflammation; he says delivering a high dose of oxygen during exercise can reduce inflammation and help reestablish blood flow in capillaries. He addresses concerns about oxygen and oxidative stress, stating oxygen is also important for detoxification and that research does not show increased oxidative stress from EWOT. Ley outlines the origins of EWOT research from Manfred von Ardenne and explains how oxygen therapy relates to inflammation and hypoxia, comparing it to hydrogen-based approaches. He discusses founding 1000 Roads after building his own system as an engineer and then producing units for patients, with a focus on affordable at-home use and a protocol of about 15 minutes of cardio with a mask, three to five times per week. Ley shares a customer anecdote about osteoarthritis improvement and notes response times vary. The conversation also covers red light therapy, which he says targets mitochondria to increase oxygen demand and pairs with EWOT by boosting oxygen supply then uptake, with claimed benefits including healing, cognitive function, reduced inflammation, skin and collagen support, and recovery. Ley notes the company ships from the US and internationally, with tariffs varying by country, and directs listeners to 1000roads.com and the 1000 Roads HQ YouTube channel for weekly videos on EWOT and red light therapy.00:00 Welcome & meet Brad Ley (Texas)01:04 Why more oxygen can reduce inflammation: ‘inflammaging', capillaries & hypoxia02:42 Is oxygen ‘rusting' us?

SummaryIn this episode, I discuss copper overload, a common yet often overlooked contributor to various mental health issues, including postpartum depression and ADHD.The referenced data comes from the Walsh Research Institute, which studied nutrient levels in 30,0000 people with brain related symptoms, and found a small handful of nutrient imbalances repeated showing up. Copper overload was the one of those imbalances.I explain the relationship between copper and zinc, and how elevated copper can impact neurotransmitter functioning. I also address the symptoms of high copper, potential causes for its elevation, methods for assessing copper levels, and treatment strategies to manage copper overload effectivelyTakeaways* Copper overload is prevalent in mental health conditions.* High copper levels are linked to postpartum depression.* Copper affects neurotransmitter functioning, specifically dopamine and norepinephrine* Zinc is essential for regulating copper levels.* Symptoms of high copper include anxiety, insomnia, depression and rage.* Dietary sources of copper include shellfish and chocolate.* Oxidative stress can elevate copper levels.* Copper and estrogen have a significant relationship.* Assessment of copper involves specific lab tests.* Treatment includes nutrient protocols and reducing exposure.Chapters00:00 Understanding Copper Overload10:36 Identifying Symptoms and Conditions Related to Copper21:10 Assessing and Treating Copper OverloadTranscriptAs always, I welcome any comments and questions, as these help guide the information that I share.Until next time,CourtneyTo learn more about my discovery calls, non-patient consultations, or mentoring, please visit my website at:CourtneySnyderMD.comMedical Disclaimer:This newsletter is for educational purposes and not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment for either yourself or others, including but not limited to patients that you are treating (if you are a practitioner).

Leafy greens, beans, and whole grains have long been celebrated as the heart of a clean, nutrient-rich diet. And yes — they can be incredibly nourishing. But there's a side of the story most people simply never hear: how certain crops accumulate heavy metals, how common pantry staples can harbor mold and mycotoxins, and how all of this can overwhelm the body's natural detox systems… especially in people with sensitivities or impaired detox pathways. Let's pull back the curtain on the part that rarely gets talked about. Thallium in Leafy Greens: What Most People Don't Know Some leafy greens — especially kale, chard, and mustard greens — are what botanists call “hyperaccumulators.” They're very efficient at pulling minerals from the soil. The problem is that they don't distinguish between minerals you want and metals you absolutely don't. If the soil contains thallium or other heavy metals, those greens can soak it up. Thallium exposure has been associated with: Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction DNA strand breakage Neurological symptoms Mood changes This doesn't mean kale “causes” depression or neurological issues. But for people already dealing with inflammation or impaired detoxification, thallium becomes one more burden the body has to manage. Why Children With Autism Can Be More Sensitive Many parents intuitively notice that their child on the spectrum is more sensitive to environmental triggers than other children — and there's a reason this can happen. Many autistic individuals have variations in genes involved in detoxification and methylation, including MTHFR. These variations don't mean anything is “wrong,” but they can slow or alter the way the body processes toxins. That means heavy metals, mold toxins, and chemical residues may: Build up more quickly Hit harder Stay in the system longer Interfere more with neurological and immune function For a child already dealing with sensory processing, gut challenges, or nervous system overload, these exposures can compound the stress on the body, sometimes showing up as sleep issues, irritability, mood changes, or behavioral shifts...

Send us a textAging, tissue repair, and the longevity benefits of psilocin.Episode Summary: Dr. Louise Hecker discusses her research on tissue repair and regeneration, explaining how fibroblasts drive wound healing by forming scar tissue but fail to resolve properly with age, leading to fibrotic diseases like pulmonary fibrosis and liver cirrhosis; they discuss aging hallmarks such as oxidative stress and telomere shortening, and highlight Hecker's study showing psilocybin's active metabolite, psilocin, extends cellular lifespan in lab cultures by reducing oxidants and preserving telomeres, while monthly doses in aged mice improved appearance and survival rates.About the guest: Louise Hecker, PhD is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, specializing in repair and regeneration processes, particularly in aging and fibrotic diseases.Discussion Points:Fibroblasts are dormant cells that activate during injury to pull wounds closed and form scars, then de-differentiate or die; aging impairs this, causing persistent scarring and disease.Aging reduces the body's regenerative capacity; different organs vary in repair efficiency, with skin healing better than heart tissue.Oxidative stress, like "rust" in the body, accumulates with age due to imbalanced reactive oxygen species production and antioxidant defenses, contributing to cellular damage.Telomeres act as protective DNA caps that shorten with cell divisions, serving as a hallmark of biological aging; sirtuins are master regulators influencing aging processes.Hecker's in vitro study showed psilocin dose-dependently extended fibroblast lifespan by 29-50%, lowering oxidative stress below young cell levels and preserving telomeres.In aged mice (equivalent to 60-65 human years), monthly high-dose psilocybin (15 mg/kg) led to healthier appearance, regrown fur, and 80% survival when controls reached 50% mortality after 10 months.Psilocybin's effects may stem from serotonin receptors expressed in many cell types beyond the brain, suggesting broader anti-aging potential; future work explores mechanisms, optimal dosing, and applications for age-related diseases.Fungi like magic mushrooms represent an under-explored "kingdom" for medicine, with psilocybin's durable effects hinting at systemic impacts on aging.Reference Paper:Study: Psilocybin treatment extends cellular lifespan and improves survival of aged miceRelated content:Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

In Episode 27, we wrap up our Metabolism series by diving into one of the most testable—and often misunderstood—topics on the MCAT: The Electron Transport Chain (ETC) and Oxidative Phosphorylation.We cover everything you need to know for MCAT success:

What if one molecule could help you live longer, think clearer, and recover faster — and it's backed by a Nobel Prize?   In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Dr. Kien Vuu (Doctor V) sits down with Chris Burres, research scientist and founder of MyVitalC, to unpack the science behind Carbon 60 (C60) — a molecule so powerful it increased the lifespan of test rats by 90% in a peer-reviewed study.   Chris breaks down the connection between oxidative stress, aging, and how ESS60 (a purified version of C60) could be the key to unlocking greater human performance, mental clarity, and cellular longevity.  

Hormones are wild, especially when you realize they're not just about how much you have, but how your body uses and processes them behind the scenes. That's what hormone metabolite testing helps uncover, and honestly, it's a game-changer. I'm sitting down with Dr. Liz Bartman, an incredible Naturopathic Doctor with a deep background in hormone science, to talk about how we can actually test our hormones in a meaningful way and what those results are really telling us. We chat about the different ways to test—blood, saliva, urine—and why each one tells a slightly different story. Dr. Liz also shares what happens to our hormones during menopause (hint: it's not all doom and gloom) and why cholesterol is actually essential for hormone production. One of the most eye-opening parts? The way our bodies detox estrogen and what certain metabolites might be saying about our long-term health risks, like breast cancer. If you've ever felt like your labs weren't giving you the full picture, this one's for you. Dr. Liz brings a refreshingly smart, grounded approach to hormone health. Oh, and speaking of refreshing… I've been sipping on my new favorite thing lately: Mighty Maca Mango! It's the same powerful superfood blend you know and love, now with a zesty mango twist—perfect over ice or made into popsicles. You can grab it over at dranna.com.

Today's guest is Jay DeMayo, Jay is the longtime strength coach for men's basketball at the University of Richmond and the founder of CVASPS—the Central Virginia Sport Performance Seminar. He's known for connecting top minds in sport science and coaching, and for his practical, athlete-first approach to physical preparation. Where the emphasis of an athletic performance program can easily be centered from a narrow perspective, Jay considers a wide variety of inputs, from an athlete's underlying structure and positional abilities to their perception of workout adjustments, to specialized exercises and technical training elements. In this episode, Jay digs into the principles he uses to prepare athletes for the demands of the game. From a foundational perspective, he discusses building work capacity and progressing split squats. On the power side, he shares his take on Olympic lifts and French Contrast training, while also addressing the role of autonomy and individualization in his approach. Throughout the show, Jay unpacks practical tools and coaching strategies that drive long-term athletic development. Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength.

Jay reflects on how older training styles—like Westside—can still have value when creatively repurposed. It's not about mimicking those programs but about borrowing what drives athlete engagement and technical mastery today. What to try: Use methods like box squats to teach depth and posture before progressing to more dynamic movements. Connect the dots for athletes: show how learning positions now sets them up for more “fun” or explosive lifts later. Reinforce that mastering basic postures unlocks more advanced training, not just better numbers. Unveiling Louis Simmons' Strength Training Insights [11:01] Jay highlights lessons from studying Louie Simmons—not for copying his powerlifting templates, but to appreciate mastery and intention. Athletes need to understand why they're training a certain way, not just how. What to try: Share stories or videos of experts from outside your sport to spark discussions about mastery and approach. Ask athletes to reflect on what "winning" a lift means to them—focus, technique, or load? Create reflective moments for athletes to assess their own intent during sessions. Enhancing Basketball Players' Performance Through Tailored Training [14:24] Forget rigid metrics for the sake of numbers. Jay focuses on using basic force plate data (jump height + contraction time) to guide individual exercise choices—not to chase numbers, but to fit each athlete's needs. What to try: Test vertical jump and contraction time; use results to bucket athletes into fast/slow jumpers. Prescribe exercises accordingly:

Send us a textShort Summary: A deep dive into the science of oxidative stress, antioxidants, aging, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.About the guest: Pamela Maher, PhD is a professor at the Salk Institute in San Diego, California, with a focus on neurodegenerative diseases, oxidative stress, and antioxidants.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Full transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Dr. Pamela Maher discusses her research on cell death mechanisms, including apoptosis and ferroptosis, and their roles in health and disease. They discuss how oxidative stress from reactive oxygen species can damage cells, the body's antioxidant defenses like glutathione and studies on natural compounds—fisetin, curcumin, and cannabinol (CBN)—that may protect against brain cell loss. The conversation covers CBN's mitochondrial benefits in aging mouse models and broader risk factors for dementia, like obesity and hearing loss, emphasizing early intervention.Key Takeaways:Apoptosis is a controlled cell death process vital for development, while ferroptosis, linked to oxidative stress and iron, causes cells to burst and is tied to diseases like Alzheimer's.Oxidative stress arises when reactive oxygen species overwhelm antioxidants, damaging DNA, proteins, and cell membranes, especially polyunsaturated fats.Glutathione, a key antioxidant, relies on cysteine and declines with age, but supplements like N-acetylcysteine might help, though tolerability varies.Cannabinol (CBN), a THC byproduct, protects mitochondria and improves memory in aging mice, hinting at therapeutic potential beyond cannabinoid receptors.Middle-age risk factors like visceral obesity, type 2 diabetes, and hearing loss significantly increase dementia risk, but hearing aids can reduce it.Related episode:M&M #165: PUFAs in Brain Health & Disease, Dietary Fats, Brain Lipids, Nutrition | Richard Bazinet*Not medical aSupport the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I am joined by Dr. Nayan Patel @aurowellness, a pharmacist, researcher, and glutathione expert, to explore the critical role glutathione plays in fertility and overall health. Dr. Patel shares his journey from traditional pharmacy to developing a breakthrough delivery system for glutathione through the skin, and why this antioxidant is essential for protecting egg and sperm quality. In this episode, you'll learn how oxidative stress impacts fertility, why diet alone might not be enough, and how his innovative technology can support the body's natural detoxification process. Be sure to tune in for this fascinating conversation packed with practical advice and insights for anyone on the fertility journey! Key Takeaways:  Glutathione is the body's most abundant and powerful antioxidant. It plays a vital role in protecting reproductive health by reducing oxidative stress. Most oral supplements don't get absorbed effectively, making Dr. Patel's skin-delivery innovation a game-changer. A healthy lifestyle and cysteine-rich foods are essential for maintaining glutathione levels. Guest Bio: Dr. Nayan Patel @aurowellness is a highly sought-after pharmacist, wellness expert, and thought leader in his industry. Since 1999, he has collaborated with physicians to custom-develop medications and design patient-specific drug and nutrition regimens. As the pharmacist of choice for celebrities, CEOs, and physicians alike, Dr. Patel is recognized for his innovative approach to health and wellness. He is the author of The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging & Increase Energy, which distills over a decade of clinical research on the master antioxidant, glutathione.

I appreciate the time today. **Michelle Oravitz:** Yes, I'm very excited to talk about what we are going to discuss, which is glutathione. But before we get to that, I would love to get your backstory and how you got into the work that you're doing today. **Dr. Nayan Patel:** Oh my god, absolutely. So start off as a pharmacist, as a career as a pharmacist, and after graduation [00:02:00] from pharmacy school. In Southern California, we were, we were trained to take care of the patient's needs and medications. And very quickly I realized that the medications we have at that time were actually not solving any problem. They were just maintaining people's problems. And very, very early on, you know, you have an aha moment in your life. That oh my god, what what did I just do right? Oh, I'm just not solving any problems So I had to turn my career to a completely different angle no former educations in in making medications or doing compounding or customizing medications that dive into the that practice and 25 years later here we are today and looking back at that and said, what a journey, what a turning point I had, because it shaped me for who I am today. I had the privilege of making medications and design treatment plans and drug plans for so many individuals helping them in their health and wellness journey. And then all [00:03:00] roads led to me to a discovery of a novel technology that can deliver glutathione. And it all started because I was just curious to find out how we can help people solve their own problems instead of trying to figure out medications to solve the problems. Right? Even though glutathione is not a, it's, it's something that body produces internally we're using it as a supplement today, but. And overall my goal was not to do anything and just enhance the body's own ability to to defend itself. And so here we are today it's a very interesting career for me for sure. **Michelle Oravitz:** For  sure. And first of all, just for people listening that don't really know much about glutathione, I'd love for you to share really what it is and also why it could be so challenging to supplement with. **Dr. Nayan Patel:** Absolutely. so the glutathione in a nutshell Is three amino acids coming together in a single chain. It's a one of the smallest form of peptides we have You two amino acid chains, three amino [00:04:00] acid chains, four, five, 30, 40, 50, and thousands of the chains as well. The simplest form, of course, is glutathione, which is about three amino acids coming together. It's by far the most abundant molecule produced in the human body. And if that's produced so much, we ought to know what it's supposed to do for us. And so that's what my research came back for 140 years that we have known about glutathione. Nobody's ever figured out how to actually get inside your body. And so, 60 years ago, 70 years ago, we had a medication approved by FDA to enhance glutathione level. And as of today, that is the only medication that has been approved ever. In the whole, in the whole world, which is N acetylcysteine, which is one of the amino acids that's been used to produce chlorothione. And that's the only thing that has been available for the last 60, 70 years. **Michelle Oravitz:** So let's talk about what so we definitely, that's one of the things that um, I've been doing for egg health and also sperm [00:05:00] quality, cause it's such a high potent antioxidant. And one of the things that I have always suggested is N acetylcysteine because that's the precursor and we knew that that was like the one way that the body was able to produce it. Okay. Thank you. But then there were some supplements that still supplement with glutathione, liposomal, like different ways, which I know are not really shelf stable. So there's always been challenges with that, but before we continue on with that, I'd love for people to hear, like, what glutathione can benefit, how it can benefit the body. **Dr. Nayan Patel:** So, I understand your audience is interested more in the fertility side of the whole thing. So, you're dealing with rather younger individuals overall which is a good sign because younger patients have, everything at their disposal for the body to respond to even the smallest amount of nutrients that they receive. If the same amount of nutrients is given to an 85 year old person, they're not [00:06:00] going to feel anything, right? But if 20 year old person gets a small amount of good nutrition, they respond very, very well. And so I want to make sure that people understand that **Michelle Oravitz:** And also just to kind of mention um, sometimes we have 40 year olds too, that are trying to conceive or like trying to do IVF. So just kind of like, yeah, the whole, **Dr. Nayan Patel:** They're still spring chicken to **Michelle Oravitz:** okay. Okay. It's good for them to hear that. **Dr. Nayan Patel:** I mean, I've helped people in the very, I mean, in the late forties to get babies as well. So it's not something that's not doable. It's just gets incredibly hard after the age of 40. So it's, not that easy to do so, but the glutathione has multiple properties and understanding what glutathione does is, monument in over. in our therapies because with the two things that we do know is it's the ability for glutathione as an antioxidant to detoxify, neutralize all the free radicals in your body. But the second component is also help you detoxify by conjugating [00:07:00] inside your liver with metabolites and chemicals binding to them. So we can basically get rid of it from from your body. So the two functions that we do know That exists today. There's a lot more research still existing that we need to do. So we, we still are urging researchers to go back and use this new technology product and see if we can find out more things that glutathione can do for us. So one two the sperm or the egg quality is dependent on how your body is able to neutralize those free radicals. Those free radicals are actually toxic to all the embryonic membranes and embryos itself and the quality of the sperm and the egg itself. And neutralizing those free radical of body, there's three ways to do that part. One, you take outside products like vitamin C, and vitamin E, and CoQ10, and and C60s, and I mean, methylene blues, I mean, there's a slew of products that says, oh, we are so called antioxidants, right? So that's [00:08:00] category one. The category two of the products are produced endogenously inside your body are enzymes like catalase, supra oxide, puase, SOD, for short glutathione peroxidase, or GPX for short. So these are the enzymes that the body produces to deal with the oxidative stress or the free radicals. Okay, so those are the category one are the category two. The third category is only one product, which is glutathione. And if you look at it, the body produces so much of glutathione, and the effects of glutathione is so powerful, that if you combine the category one, which is all the antioxidants from outside sources, and the enzymes that your body produces, those two combine, Glutathione can surpass the antioxidant properties. And so I want listeners to understand very carefully is that the glutathione needs to be a basic cornerstone in everybody's arsenal. Every medicine chest in the world should have a [00:09:00] bottle says glutathione And in that bottle either you have a product or it have a note saying that eat healthy food to Let your body produce its own glutathione Either way that note has to be there on every medicine chest out there and you're right There's so much noise out there I want to cut to the noise today because if you just put your favorite search engine or your ai robot is going to tell you hey glirathion, there are a thousand different products out there. Choose one You Right. And as a consumer it's very hard to find out what to choose correctly and people hide behind a great technologies that that exists in the world and said, Oh, my, my product uses this technology. So it's the best one in the world. And you mentioned liposome technology, by the way, I just will let, you know, we were one of the very first few people that actually use liposome to produce the first liposomal glutathione. This was 25 plus years ago, right? And we made the liposome because at that time that was the [00:10:00] best technology that existed in the pharmaceutical world. And the doctor that owned the patents for those came to me and said, Hey, we've been very successful in making this for medications. Can you help me make nutraceuticals with it? Like vitamin C and CoQ10 and PQQ and S Xanthine and Glutathione and so on and so forth. And so we made the products for that doctor. And then a couple of years later. Some work, some did not work. Gluten was one of the products that did not work. So I go back and says, why is that working on everybody? The question I always ask is, hey, it helped my girlfriend. How come it's not helping me? Or it helped my sister. Why, how come it's not helping me? What, what, what am I, how am I different than the other human beings? and in reality, only your face is different. Internally, we are identical. A body has the same heart, the same organs, everything is the same, right? So we have not changed for the last 40, 000 plus years, [00:11:00] how to expect that I'm different than my sister, or I'm different than my girlfriend, or whatever, right? Maybe your genomic mixture is different, but your overall organs and organ systems are identical. And so to me, I said, okay, if it works in one person, it should work on everybody. If I get absorption in one person, I guess you should get absorption in everybody. What's the rate limiting factor? Why is it not happening? And so I didn't have answers at that time. I did not know what to do. So next story is that, okay, you know what? I'll make the intravenous form of glutathione. Hey, if I inject him into the bloodstream, my job's done. Again, took me a few months to figure that portion out how to make that part. And yes, This is long story short, we were Well, again, we were one of the first company pharmacy early on in 2001 to make the injectable form of glutathione. Now, very quickly, we realized that the effects of this glutathione was very short, right? And then I looked back in the research and said, there was a study done in 1991 [00:12:00] saying that if once you inject glutathione, it only stays in the body for between four It takes five to 15 minutes and everything gets destroyed or gets, get, get, it gets into the urine and you pee it out, but an hour and a half later, there was an increase of cysteine, which is one of the amino acids that went up in the blood. And so the researchers concluded that the body was breaking down this glutathione and cysteine was getting reabsorbed by the body and cysteine is being used for your body to produce its own glutathione. I said, okay, I don't care how the body makes it. As long as the body has a gluten, I don't care. But the results were very short lived. And I don't know if you know this thing, but back in early 2000s, one of the doctors came to me. I said, Hey, if it's short lived, that's okay. Let me take you to Vegas because when people drink, they deplete their glutathione levels. If it only stays for 15 minutes, I can revive somebody who's passed out drunk of their minds and I can get them. So. He literally took this product to Vegas and [00:13:00] start helping patients. I read scripts for those kinds of things. And again, I have nothing to do with it. I, unfortunately, I was just the supplier and I was just the maker of the product, but we saved so many lives. We helped so many people, but we were, we learned one thing that the action was not long term. And if I want the long term benefits, because if it's one of your patient, if it's one of your listener, who's, who's trying to get pregnant she, or he has to plan for A 30 day cycle, not a 15 minute. Give me some push right now and I'll be done. No, it's a 30 day cycle. You have to plan everything methodically, right? What am I supposed to do from day one to day seven and from day seven to day 14. And after ovulation, what do I do? And after post ovulation, if there's an embryo implantation, what do I do? And so on and so forth. It's a, it's a whole process and your body needs to be clean this whole time. And none of the products were actually getting the results I was looking for. Later on, I found out, this was 2011 [00:14:00] University of Texas in Austin did a study on the liposome technology product of glirathione. And what they found out was same thing that they saw in intravenous form. The body actually breaks down the glirathione, never absorbs a single molecule of it. Absorbs the cysteine and cysteine is later used to produce his own glutathione. And the end story is, it still works. It still works. But people need to understand, just because it works, it does not mean your body absorbed it. And there's a there's a difference between that one and maybe some people may not appreciate that part But I do appreciate that part because in my case i'm dealing with thousands of patients across the country across the globe now And I want to make sure that I want to give assurance to everybody that hey if I give you a glutathione product No matter what it is going to get inside your body [00:15:00] and absorb it And so the liposome technology product was great until now People got a lot of people got results for almost 80 got results from it but not because it absorbs it because the body was able to Conjugate or take the cysteine and make its own glirathione today Today the things have changed now. Why? because 15 20 years ago We started doing gene testing gene snips You Right at that time it was nobody can afford it. I was fifteen twenty thousand dollars for a blood test Oh gosh, no, nobody can afford that today Same test is 200 bucks 300 bucks, **Michelle Oravitz:** Right.  **Dr. Nayan Patel:** right? So now what's happened is that now everybody's doing these gene testings And finally got hey, do I have gene mutation where my body cannot produce gluothione if the answer is yes Then I don't care how much product you take from outside sources, the body is not [00:16:00] able to effectively produce glutathione correctly all the time. And so that to me is one more proof, one more proof that we need a product that your body can actually accept it, incorporate into their own DNA and use it when it needs to. Anyways, I just went off too many tangents no, Thanks very much, interesting. I want you to continue. So how did you find out and, and like how did you discover the product that you have now and what kind of technology does it use and how does it really impact the body? Absolutely. Those **Michelle Oravitz:** nerd in me wants to know **Dr. Nayan Patel:** Yeah. All great, great questions. And I want to, I really want to be an open book. I don't want to hide any information from anybody so that I'll be more than happy to open it up and let everybody know. So earlier when I first started the book. So we had a, we had a couple of barriers. One, what we knew was the body's not going to take any peptides, any amino acid chains to get it to and incorporate it into their own DNA. [00:17:00] What we, what I found out was the body has to make 100 percent of all peptides in the body, the body has to make it. Right. So we knew that I knew that part very early on. So I said, okay, there is no way on earth I'll be able to make a product that your body can use it up. Okay, so now I had to figure out Okay, how do I get this simple tripeptide three amino acid chain peptides into the body? So I first of all, I want to do, I want to create a stable molecule because if I have a stable molecule in my lab, I can work with it. If it's unstable, I don't have time to really experiment on it, right? So my first goal was to make a stable molecule. So that we achieved pretty fast. It took us a couple of years when we got the stable molecule. We took it by mouth. Again what we saw was Sistine went up, so it was not working really, it was getting broken down. We scored into the nose, I said, and if the nose was burning, I said, oh, nobody's going to use this on a daily basis. Of course not, right? It's not a, it's not a fun thing to do. I knew the [00:18:00] injectables was a little bit of an uphill battle because it requires FD approval and all those things. I said, you know what? The only route that was remaining was skin route. And of course, skin is a physical barrier, right? So it's a physical barrier that I have to overcome. And the physical barrier is, is a particle size barrier. So I had to reduce the particle size so small, It can get through the cracks or the pores of your skin and get inside your body. So that was the first challenge I had, which we were able to crack the code in about a couple of years. We had to take this peptides, twist it in such a form that doesn't get broken apart and gets a small, you know, like when you twist the towel, you know how it gets smaller and smaller and smaller, but you twist enough, it can get really small. And so that's what we did with this molecule. It forces microscopically, and we were able to reduce the particle size to much smaller. We got to the skin. The bigger challenge is this glutathione is inside your cells. So now the issue is that, [00:19:00] okay, we release a particle size, we get through your skin. Now, so the physical barrier, we, we all work in the physical barrier. The second was a chemical barrier. Because the cell wall is a lock and key. Hey, you say the magic word and the castle opens up and you can go inside. But if you don't say the magic word, the castle will never open for you. So the question then becomes is that what does the body needs? What does the cell needs to survive? All your mitochondria, the energy powerhouse in your body is in the cells, right? And that to produce the energy, what you need is carbohydrates and sugars. I cannot give you sugars because I give you diabetes and we already have an epidemic of diabetes in the United States across the world nowadays so I said, okay, how do I get a polysaccharide sugar type molecule? That doesn't doesn't do anything about the sugar is completely inert FDA has tested it out and it's completely safe to give to anybody pregnancy no pregnancy children's everybody And can I use that molecule? So we found [00:20:00] dextrin technology. This was a technology that has been out for about 20, 30 years now, but there are no good medications in the world. As even in today's state, there's not too many medications out there. People are still dabbling around. those technology products. And so we use the technology to literally, instead of working with medications, we start working with glutathione. We do the sugar molecule and stuff inside with glutathione. It's like, do you need M& Ms? Do you need **Michelle Oravitz:** No, not anymore,  **Dr. Nayan Patel:** Not anymore,  Okay, Good. Good. Do you, do you eat M& Ms for the peanuts or for the chocolate? **Michelle Oravitz:** I guess well, I used to like the chocolate ones when I was really, really little. And then later on peanuts, **Dr. Nayan Patel:** Exactly. But the thing is, you don't eat M& Ms for peanuts, you eat M& Ms for the chocolate. But the peanut inside, if you get a peanut, do you spit it out? Or you know what? It's not so bad. I can use it up. **Michelle Oravitz:** It's like I compare it to like, you know, the being able to take those pill things for your dogs where you put it inside a treat and get the dog to eat it. And[00:21:00]  **Dr. Nayan Patel:** That's exactly right, right? So I took the carbohydrate, the sugar molecule, stuffed the glutathione inside, you know, so the body, when the carbohydrate hits the cell wall, the cell goes, oh, I can use this up. Right? And sucks it in. Inside is glutathione. But he goes, well, I can use this up too. It's not something new to me, so I can use this up too. Right? And so now, it's like you somebody tells you that, hey, I have a billion dollar coming to you, but it's coming in the mail. Well, that's not helping me right now, but if it hits my wallet, gosh, I can spend it today. Right? So, you can check the mail, it's in a transit, but until it hits the wallet, you cannot do anything about it. Saving glutathione, if the glutathione is in your body, but it's not inside your cell, the, the cell says that, okay, I need the glutathione, but it's way out there. It's not in my cell. I cannot use it up. Here we got inside the cell directly. [00:22:00] When we did that part, like magic just happened. All of a sudden, the body has a product. The body needs it. The money's in the wallet right now. I can go spend it today. And the body can actually use the glutathione immediately To start doing what? Two things that we know of as of right now. One is start neutralizing all the free radicals. That's number one. Number two, start getting my liver cleaned up and start detoxifying all this, all this metabolism in my system. When you do those things up, all of a sudden your whole body or your temple, your, your the sanctuary in your body starts getting healed from inside, starts getting cleaner. And all of a sudden the, main thing, which is our sperm and the eggs. Are not been invaded or not been attacked by this toxic chemicals. **Michelle Oravitz:** Right? **Dr. Nayan Patel:** And so that's, there's, there's my technology. We discovered this in 2007, as you can imagine 2007 it was too far [00:23:00] ahead of the game. There was nothing in the world that exists something even close to this thing. And so there was no studies being done. There's no research articles published. There's nothing out there in the world that I can fall back and say, Hey, go ahead and use it safe. **Michelle Oravitz:** Yeah.  **Dr. Nayan Patel:** do that part. So it took me another 13, 14 more years to literally do everything that I can do on my own. I have no funding. I did everything on my own. I put every single thing I have back into this to basically research it out. Apply for the patents, all my work that I did. I, in fact, I published a book about three, four years ago. All the work I did for the first 13 years, I put in a book. I said, Hey. Guys, here's read it, right? This is this is all my work and it's just success stories that I've given to patients and clients and And found friends and family that uses product and and see how how much benefit they got in different areas of life right if you're an athlete versus if you have metabolic disorders versus you have [00:24:00] metabolism, defects if you're on the spectrum because spectrum patients have some sort of Metabolism issues of detoxification issues that they cannot clear the toxins out of the body And they are the autism or aspergers or whatever they got right? So i've all the stories and I have some stories about horses and and dogs and how how they it helped them as well in their in their wellness, thing as well as anyways So that's all the stories in the book the glutton revolution. That's my book. But after everything got done We had a pandemic **Michelle Oravitz:** Right. **Dr. Nayan Patel:** the product was not even released yet You And the pandemic comes around and I've been begged by all the doctors around the country. I said, oh my god Please give us the access to the glutathione because I was working with doctors So they knew about this product, but none of the consumers knew knew about it And so that's when we actually did a soft launch. We didn't have a bottling. We didn't have a boxing. We have nothing at that time No website, we had a website, but it was like a nothing nothing crazy So 2021 [00:25:00] was the first launch of the product now we are here today, but, so anyways, so thanks for asking me this question, but I just wanna make sure the story **Michelle Oravitz:** Yeah, no, I love the story because I think also I have very, very smart listeners, I'll be honest, like with a fertility journey, they are so educated. You know, it's such a motivator to really educate yourself. And a lot of times if I work with people in person online, I see the most educated people, they really know a lot. So I wanted to kind of have a background to really explain how the process works. Cause I feel like it's very empowering for them. And the two things that I know, like an N acetylcysteine. So that works as a precursor to get the cysteine. And then from that gets the body to produce glutathione. And then your product works through the skin and then is enveloped by the carbohydrates, right. Or the yeah,  **Dr. Nayan Patel:** is, it, it's, it's a polysaccharides is what we call 'em. And it's embedded inside that one. It's the, analogy I can [00:26:00] give you is that, hey if you need money, there's two ways to get money. One is I'll give you a job. You work at it. And you, you share your trades and then for the reward, I'll give you money. The second part is here's the money in your wallet. I'm not going to give you too much of it. I'm just going to give you enough to survive the rest. You still have to go make it yourself. Right. And so the second part, I give you enough to survive. Your body says to make the rest of the glutathione from the foods you eat and things like that. but a lot of people need, just need a little edge over everybody else. So I just give them extra glutathione to make sure that they are able to use up right now, because when you have a problem today, if you need the money today, and if you give you a job, I said, that's good, but I need the money now. I don't need money two weeks from now.  **Michelle Oravitz:** Yeah.  **Dr. Nayan Patel:** And so that makes it very, very useful. And in, in certain cases, I'm not saying that is good for everybody. What I am saying that is good for everybody, but the product may not be good for everybody,[00:27:00]  but having a healthier lifestyle, having the cysteine rich diet. Is absolutely a must I don't care what what age you are, right? That is absolutely a must So if you do that, if you have a healthy lifestyle, that means avoid the toxins that depletes the glutathione levels Having the diet that consumes that gives all the amino acids those two things combined Will will give you a fighting chance for long periods of time where you don't need any supplementations The supplementation is very good for people that need extra help or temporarily And then once your body gets under control then you can stop it, too **Michelle Oravitz:** Yeah. And then, so the couple of questions that come to my mind is you know, I'm, I'm a, also a big believer, obviously it sounds like it's doing something, but I'm also a big believer that like nature has a very a method for its madness. And I'm wondering, is there a reason why it's under such lock to allow um, glutathione in by itself, rather than having the body produce it? It was just [00:28:00] kind of like something that came to my mind.  **Dr. Nayan Patel:** know.  **Michelle Oravitz:** you were mentioning that. **Dr. Nayan Patel:** and you're right. I mean, the body is, is equipped to deal with, because any peptides that you, that the body can accept from outside sources can actually get embedded into your DNA. And so having the purity, what if you give somebody else's DNA inside your body? **Michelle Oravitz:** Right. **Dr. Nayan Patel:** Wow. Right. Think about it. Think about it. You're injecting somebody else's DNA. Some, some of the protein from something else that is not made by humans. The body is going to start going to cycle, react to it and say, Oh my God, what if well, we have vaccines right nowadays. What are the vaccines are proteins by outside of viruses, right? How about we use those embedded into our own DNA? So that's the, that's a scary part to me. And so that's the reason why a body does not allow anything from outside sources to get inside your body. It's very [00:29:00] very protective. Glutathione we do know is produced endogenously. It's inside your body, making sure that the glutathione the raw materials that we use Is of the highest highest quality. I would say 99. 99 percent pure is what we need. Otherwise, we just going to have a chance of making sure we have a chance that we can harm our body. And so just so for when I, when I first heard that in 2007, I quickly, I realized that I have to bring manufacturing in house. I can't trust anybody to do this for me. It literally took me eight years to build my own plant out small plant But just enough so that I can control every single thing making sure the water that I use is the highest quality Everything that goes inside is for the highest quality products. That's why I had to Ensure that so I brought everything in house. It was too costly to make it It's still too costly to make it and to [00:30:00] reduce the cost. I had to make sure that I I am, I'm going straight from the manufacturers to the consumers and there's no too many middlemen in between to reduce the cost down. And so we've been doing whatever it takes and you're right. The by doesn't take it. So having that technology to bypass this is somehow empowering that we can do that part. But it's scary is that we can use the same technology to, to hurt somebody too. **Michelle Oravitz:** Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. And thank you for answering that. And also, my question is, what have you seen in the research? Like, what have you seen short term, long term, because you, it sounds like you guys have been working with us for a long time, in the response of people's bodies and conditions. **Dr. Nayan Patel:** Absolutely. So just FYI of a human body gets everything gets, gets redone every 30, 60, 90 to 120 days. That means you get new cells in your bodies all the time.[00:31:00]  The body is constantly constantly making new cells, better cells so that you can rejuvenate yourself from inside out, right? So the body is, it's like you're having a house, constantly remodeling your house from inside all the time, right? So no matter what happens, if I make a hole in the wall, you know what, a few months from now it'll be a brand new wall again. I don't have to do anything, just have to wait and don't make it further damage the wall, right? And it'll be repaired by itself. So the body repairs itself. The issue is that. The glutathione can actually improve the repair process to the point where it repairs better. And you can feel the effects much, much faster. Now certain organs take them 12 to 18 months to repair. For example, liver, it takes a long time to repair. So, any, if you're looking for benefits for liver health that may take anywhere from 12 to 18 months. Even though if I have doctors I work with all the time and the doctor says, Oh, my, the liver function tests are coming normal. I said, just because the tests have [00:32:00] no, that doesn't mean the liver is normal, right? I guess you're right. Absolutely right. So they do ultrasounds. They do scans and things like that to figure that portion out. But again, it takes them 12 to 18 months to fix it. At a short term people when they have have issues with oxidative stress. The biggest issue I've seen is these are, these are people that have some gene mutations that cannot produce, they cannot conjugate and make enough glutathione. They have this brain fog that has been lingering on for decades, decades, right? For 10, 20 years sometimes. Of course, these are older people. These are not 20 year olds. And so they've been struggling and All of a sudden, they use a gluotide and about 15 minutes later, they can just see the, just brain just opens up. Now, it is not a, it's not a something to improve your memory. It's not this magic pill that you see in the movies. It's here, one pill, my brain just fires up and I'm, I can think and I can do anything I want to do. It's not that pill, it's a **Michelle Oravitz:** but I'm sure it can prevent things like Alzheimer's or things like that. Mm hmm, [00:33:00] mm **Dr. Nayan Patel:** well, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and things like that as well. But in the short term, when people see the brain fog clears up, all it's doing is reducing oxidative stress. **Michelle Oravitz:** hmm. **Dr. Nayan Patel:** If you need to reduce oxidative stress, so I've seen results as much as 5 to 15 minutes. Up to two to four weeks in most individual And two three to six months in I would say 99 of the people they see some improvement in their health and wellness and they're most of them are working with the physicians So they're doing some blood tests before and after the doctors are saying what the heck you're doing I don't know what you're doing, but keep on doing it. It's very good for you. So  **Michelle Oravitz:** That's really interesting. And then also, if you were to get, you know, outside source of glutathione, the body feels the glutathione, will it make an impact on the body's own production of glutathione now that it feels that it has more. **Dr. Nayan Patel:** Absolutely. And the thing is [00:34:00] the the biggest concern that people have that hey What if if I take glutathione from outside sources with my body shut down his own production? And yes and no, I think the body probably may reduce the production, it probably will not shut it down because keep in mind when we're comparing, because most people have been burned by, hey, if you take steroids, your body will, it'll blow up like a balloon and because the body is not able to make its own regular, its own steroid production, which is true, which is 100 percent true. endocrine system is tightly regulated from your gonadal hormones, your pituitary and your ovaries and your testes and to the brain, which is the pituitary the hypothalamus, right? So they both work together, your brain tells your ovaries to produce the hormones, the ovaries produce the hormones, the ovaries cannot produce the hormones, The brain is going to keep on sending signals. Can you do more? Do more? Do more? Because I can't do anymore. I'm already tired. I'm burnt out. I'm just, I'm shriveled up. I can't do anymore. Right? Versus if you [00:35:00] take a hormone from outside sources, it affects straight to the pituitary. And the pituitaries will shut down and say, Hey, no more producing hormones. You got too much. I don't know where it's coming from,  but  **Michelle Oravitz:** like a thermostat,  **Dr. Nayan Patel:** Right? It's a negative feedback. But when it comes to glutathione, glutathione is not triggered by any brain or hypothalamus. Glutathione is taking three amino acids together, two enzymes, two molecules of ATP, which is energy, and one molecule of NAD for electron transfer. All this to come together to make glutathione. Right? Now this same energy, ATP energy, NAD energy is being used in thousands of chemical reactions that happens every single day. So keep in mind, if your body does not have to produce glutathione, your energy is never wasted. It's used to do other reactions all day long. But the good thing is that glutathione is by far the most abundant molecule produced in the human body. [00:36:00] And after a couple of weeks or so, the body is saying, hey, everything is not working great. Now for two weeks later you see some increasing energy because now the energy is is Getting excess and your body goes. Oh my god. I have excess energy now all of a sudden. It's not a car It's not a caffeine type energy It's not like jumping up and down type of energy, but you do feel good from inside out Right. You do feel good. And all of a sudden you pick up other habits, walking, jogging, cycling, you know, or just going out and just, you just have this, this energy inside your body that you want to do other things. You just feel alive from inside. And so, and then when you stop the glutathione, the body says, okay, oh, should we have, we need more glutathione. So the first energy goes towards producing glutathione, but if you have enough glutathione, that energy has been used to produce other peptides. Keep in mind, a muscle needs what? 6, 100 amino acids coming together. Takes a lot of energy to produce muscle fiber. So if you're not [00:37:00] using the energy to produce glutathione, hey, hopefully it goes to producing more muscle mass. I'm hoping for that. **Michelle Oravitz:** Yeah. . And is there like a limit on how long you should take it? you know, is there a limit that you have? **Dr. Nayan Patel:** So, I do know that your body needs glutathione until the last day you die. So, until that day, you have to take it. After you're dead, I'm not sure if your body needs glutathione or not. So, that's a joke. I'm sorry. But your body needs glutathione to survive. Every single day. So the needs are going to be the endless. the better question to me is that do I need to supplement every single day of my life? That's a way better question for me to answer is to that that question came to me in my mind long time ago as well. And so what I have found out is that the body needs glutathione. to survive. Your body has the ability to produce glutathione, plenty of it on a daily basis. And what I found in [00:38:00] my research that up until about the age of 30, there is no need for any supplementation. None. Improve your diet, reduce your exposure to toxicities. You should be fine. **Michelle Oravitz:** Right?  **Dr. Nayan Patel:** Between 32, 35, if you have a healthier lifestyle, don't drink alcohol. Don't expose yourself to heavy levels of toxicities. Don't do sunbathing a whole lot. And having a very clean diet, you might still be okay. 35 to 40, I would say 80, 90 percent of the people may need to supplement gluathione, over 40, I have yet to find somebody who has normal levels of gluathione and so the question that I ask is, Hey, what's Well, my mom in the fifties and sixties never had to use a gluathide, and she lived for long periods of time, so why is it today, right? But keep in mind, at that time, sixty years ago, maybe the world population was three billion, now we are eight billion population. And who are the biggest polluters in the world? Is it the [00:39:00] animals or the humans? **Michelle Oravitz:** Humans. **Dr. Nayan Patel:** Humans. Animals don't even wear clothing. They don't even do anything. They don't have to build any houses and, and destroy the world. They just live, enjoy the world and leave the world the way it was when they came in. Us humans wants to fly, wants to build a hundred story buildings and wants to drive cars and wants to do all kinds of things. So we are the biggest polluters and the pollution has literally what more than doubled in the last 60 years. So if we say that the, the modernist society is polluted, the answer is absolutely yes. And it's not, it's not like we are turning the tables and we're going on the other way around. So like it or not, nobody's willing to give the modern day conveniences at this point. They don't, they're not going to do that part. So the question is that yes, Maybe my mom did not need gluten until the age of 50 or 60 [00:40:00] maybe. That's dropped down to 30, 35 or 40 at this point. And I'm scared for my kids because they may need glutathione at the age of 25 That's that's not a good thing to do, but it's just just telling us that our memory is getting more and more polluted and we need to figure out every single thing that we can do to enhance our body to stay clean from inside. **Michelle Oravitz:** And is there a benefit to taking N acetylcysteine as well as the, the skin,  um, supplementation?  **Dr. Nayan Patel:** okay, so NAC or cysteine so there are about eight essential amino acids that you have to take every single day Cysteine is not one of them Cysteine, Glycerine, and Glycine. Those are the three amino acids that's used to produce glutathione. Those three are not even in the part of the eight essential amino acids. So if you take cysteine and the glutathione topical version that we have, the cysteine is not going to be used up to produce glutathione at all. It may be used up for some other components, but not for [00:41:00] glutathione. I would suggest that if you're doing that part, then save your money and just improve your diet, right? If you have the money, I would rather you invest in those eight essential amino acids. Those are much better to do that, like Lucid and Proline. And so those are much more better to for you to use it on a daily basis. I'd rather you spend the money on that than to spend the money on the SysTeam. **Michelle Oravitz:** Got it. And then what are some of the foods and, that you would recommend for the glutathione diet? **Dr. Nayan Patel:** Michelle, I've been told not to advise people on diet **Michelle Oravitz:** Okay. Thank you **Dr. Nayan Patel:** is worse than the religion and politics. So I'm going to tell you one thing. All right. So everybody has a, has an AI robot. Everybody has access to AI robot. Go type it up.  Sistine rich foods. **Michelle Oravitz:** Sistine Richards **Dr. Nayan Patel:** You're going to get your vegan choices, vegetarian choices, carnivore, [00:42:00] paleo, Atkins. I don't know what a longevity diet. I don't know. Don't die diet. I, I don't know. There's so many diets out there right there right now. All these diets are going to be satisfied if you just type in the word system food and see what food are you willing to eat and make and have a variety of foods from that list that you consume on a daily basis. Like what's in that list? I, you know, on an everyday basis, every single day.  **Michelle Oravitz:** Yeah **Dr. Nayan Patel:** in there, asparagus in there, there's oysters and chicken and turkey. And I mean, you can name it, right? There's so much stuff is in there that you can consume. It's not a small list, right? But you have to make it a part of the routine. But that's just one thing. That's just one thing. The second part, which is utmost important, is limit. Limit your exposure to toxicities, **Michelle Oravitz:** yes true [00:43:00] Oh, **Dr. Nayan Patel:** pure. Right is important and because of that guess what my technology I even dove into the skincare as well because because most of my customers were females. Well now they are like 50 50 today But at that time all my customers female and they look at the technology and say hey Can you give me all the antioxidants for my face as well? I said sure. It's that's easy, right? So I just went got all the antioxidants and I said, okay Put it squeeze the size right so I can shove a whole bunch of stuff into this couple of products And so I have like seven or eight different antioxidants in full concentration and some are even more in like two creams right And then two of the serums I give like 10x of what you what you get from any of the products in the marketplace today so I give you a vitamin c and glutathione in a very high concentration to your skin Gets your skin completely disperses really really fast and gets gets to the all the skin in your whole body And so anyways, so I did that [00:44:00]  **Michelle Oravitz:** if you do that, To your face, is that the same thing, the same technology that will get glutathione in your cells? So it's kind of like two in one? **Dr. Nayan Patel:** So it is, it is it's the same technology, but what we have to done is we have to identify the speed and how deep I want to go inside. So the skincare is more  for,  **Michelle Oravitz:** different. It's more  **Dr. Nayan Patel:** yeah, but I would always say that if you're using both that do not double up, do not double up, right? If you're using both that your skincare routine, as is the way it's been introduced to you, and then just add on the, the top of glue that just once a day. **Michelle Oravitz:** I  **Dr. Nayan Patel:** And you, and you still get the, I mean, you get full benefit. That's the ultimate Longevity hack is what I call them, right? Cause the beauty is inside out. The ultimate longevity hack is you do the full skincare routine and just do once a day of the glutathione. If you don't do the skincare routine, just the glutathione twice a day is, is, is, is what you need. That's an ultimate bio is, [00:45:00]  **Michelle Oravitz:** Oh, that's great.  **Dr. Nayan Patel:** I have. **Michelle Oravitz:** Well, listen, I mean, I'm curious. I'm sure people listening are very curious, how can we find out more? How can we buy this stuff and get ahold of it? **Dr. Nayan Patel:** Absolutely. So, my website is oral wellness. com. A U R O wellness. com. Go to the website. There is a two part on the top is skincare and wellness. Otherwise you can go to oral skincare. com as well. The same thing. My urge is that if you are any of this patients that is Not able to give up monitor conveniences or you may suspect that you may have low glutathione levels I would probably strongly suggest you try it for 30 days It is,  we do offer a hundred percent, a hundred percent money back guarantee. We don't charge shipping and handling. We'll refund you everything, right? We will, we will do full refund of everything. Cause I just want people to try it out. And once you try it for 30 days and if you see slight benefit of [00:46:00] it then it's the best thing that can happen to you for the rest of your life. It's one thing that I have, I have customers for now for 17 years, since the first we discovered this product. That will, that's like a, it's a go to product in the arsenal. It's like, it's always there. And I'll tell you, I'll give you another analogy right now, because I wanted people to really understand what this is, because as you age, your body is deteriorating, is diseased, and it is, is, is breaking down, right? It's like. You go to your, when you go to your home you leave your door open. And as soon as I leave the door open, the dust, the wind blows the leaves inside. And so what you do is you bring your vacuum out or your, or your broom out and start sweeping and guess what? There's more dust and more leaves coming out. Right? So what do you do? I'll say, Oh my God, I forgot to close the door. Once you close the door, you can literally clean the whole house from inside and make [00:47:00] it brand new again. Right? Oxidative stress, oxidative stress, production of free radicals is the opening of the door analogy in your body. Oxidative stress is not doing anything, but it's allowing every single thing to come inside your body. And destroy the body from inside and unless you block that and close it up You cannot buy your body does not heal from inside, right? So the glutathione is actually closing the door is actually closing the door and then allowing your body to what to start getting? Cleaned up from inside and start repairing itself inside So at the bare minimum at the bare minimum if you do for four months You're going to have every single day Products in your body, every single cells, organs, every single thing you're going to have allowed them the chance to [00:48:00] regenerate self. **Michelle Oravitz:** Yeah.  **Dr. Nayan Patel:** after four months, yeah, it's after four months, it's like game over. So I have people that even today's they, they said, I know what I have to do. It's just that I just keep on forgetting. I said, that's okay. You know, close the door first. You know, it's, it's no fun sweeping and wrecking your house every single day. **Michelle Oravitz:** No, no, it's not. I agree. Wow. This is amazing. Really, really fascinating information. I just love the fact that you have a background from, from ecology. I mean, that you understand it really from the inside out and that you were able to apply technology and really understand it from your perspective and that you had these ideas to create a product like that, that's really cool. **Dr. Nayan Patel:** and I, I wish I had this product when we were going through our early on in my life because my wife had a hard time conceiving and it took us nine years to have a first son. Yeah, and it's not that we were trying for nine years. It's just that [00:49:00] after marriage, it took us nine years to have the first son and we only tried for maybe about a couple of years before. And then. We did, I think we did one, one, I think two IVF cycles. And I said, this will be the last one. We'll never do it again because I know the damage it causes to the human body. And I wasn't the one suffering, but I know it was going to destroy her body for the rest of her life. So I was not willing to put up with make her go through the process, even though it was like something that is so blissful to you, right? When you have a kid. So, yeah, we did all the traditional because I was pharmacist. I knew I'll do all the hormone therapies. I did all the hormones correctly. Everything was just fine, but she just was not producing any follicles. The follicles were there, but they're not producing any eggs. I knew that it was oxygen stress, but at that time I had nolu thi product in me. And So uh, it is just so unfortunate, right? But today you have that if you are a young person that is trying to conceive you have this thing, [00:50:00] at the very least, just use it for a few months. It gives it by the chance. And and, and hopefully you have a healthy baby. That's, that's always my **Michelle Oravitz:** Yeah, that's the hope. Yes. And sending all of that good, good energy and good thoughts to everybody listening. So thank you so much, Dr. Patel for coming on. This is a great conversation. I will have all the links to the website and everything in the episode notes for people to view if they want to stop, stop the car and then go look, but thank you so much for coming on today. This is a great conversation. **Dr. Nayan Patel:** Appreciate your time today. It's my pleasure to be here today. Thank you. [00:51:00] [00:52:00]
