Episode notes

What if one spray could upgrade your brain, protect your mitochondria, and outperform IV therapy and liposomal supplements? In this episode, you’ll discover the breakthrough science behind topical glutathione delivery that uses your skin’s water channels to raise intracellular glutathione levels in just 60 seconds. Learn how this powerful antioxidant works at the cellular level to reduce oxidative stress, support mitochondrial function, and drive real improvements in brain health, emotional resilience, and human performance.

Host Dave Asprey sits down with Nayan Patel, a world-leading pharmacist and formulator who pioneered this next-gen delivery method. With over two decades of clinical work in functional medicine, Nayan has helped reshape how we think about glutathione benefits, systemic detox, and performance optimization. His research shows that topical delivery bypasses traditional fat-based absorption, achieving higher brain uptake and faster results than IVs or capsules.

You’ll learn:

• Why glutathione for longevity is foundational to biohacking

• How it protects against cellular inflammation and improves TBI recovery issues

• Why pairing glutathione with NAD+, vitamin C, or pharmaceutical nicotine creates a powerful synergy

• How it preserves NAD+, supports sirtuins, and enhances ATP production

• When to use glutathione as an immune booster for resilience and recovery

This conversation also reveals the truth behind liposomal supplements, how your age affects glutathione absorption, and why this molecule is critical for anyone using nootropics, in ketosis, or pushing metabolic limits.

This episode is essential listening for anyone into biohacking, cold therapy, functional medicine, or RFK-style medical freedom. You’ll walk away with practical tools to boost nitric oxide naturally, prevent dysfunction, and optimize your biology whether you’re on a carnivore diet or just looking for an edge.
