Low Tox Life 424. Dr. Nayan Patel on Glutathione: Could it be the most important thing we need for health?
Who doesn’t want a better quality of life for longer, right?
This week, we’re talking about oxidative stress and the role of Glutathione:
- How we get pushed, slowly, slowly out of homeostasis in our first 3 decades of life
- How the disease/medication cycle is inadequate and we need to focus on homeostasis recalibration to heal, not just manage disease.
- How a dietary focus on cysteine is the most accessible antioxidant move we all have access to.
- How glutathione delivery is often not worth the many forms it comes in in supplements.
- How getting the research right led to some incredible results - especially for his Dad!
Great ep for the peeps struggling to heal, feel that homeostasis magic or who love the nerdier health topics exploring the latest research.
Pharmacist Dr Nayan Patel, who felt that after his top university education landed him in the business of maintaining people’s disease conditions (while acknowledging it was of course often life saving), wasn’t happy with ‘sickness management’ and went on to specialising in compounding medicines and supplements working with doctors. He then began researching oxidative stress and extending health span, rather than just life span, which was the start of @aurowellness.
He recently published his first comprehensive book, The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging & Increase Energy.
