TWR 315: Dr. Patel: Glutathione's Impact on Midlife Women - Oxidative Stress, Sleep, and Hormones

Did you know that 80% of all diseases are linked to oxidative stress in your body?  In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, I chat with Dr. Nayan Patel, a glutathione expert and founder of Auro Wellness to discuss the critical role of glutathione in combating oxidative stress and its potential impact on overall health, especially for women in midlife. We discuss that as we age, our natural glutathione levels decrease, potentially leaving us more vulnerable to oxidative stress and related health issues. We also dive into the surprising connection between glutathione and sleep quality, common misconceptions about glutathione supplementation, and practical tips for boosting your glutathione levels naturally.  Dr. Nayan Patel is a sought after pharmacist, wellness expert, and thought leader in his industry. He has been working with physicians since 1999 to custom-develop medication for their clients and design a patient-specific drug and nutrition regimen. He has been the pharmacist of choice to celebrities, CEOs, and physicians themselves. He recently published his first comprehensive book, The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging & Increase Energy. After 11 years of clinical research on the master antioxidant, glutathione, Dr. Patel and his team developed a patented technology to deliver Glutathione topically, changing the game on how best to absorb GSH systemically. From this technology, he additionally developed The Auro GSH Antioxidant Delivery System to create a skincare line to deliver antioxidants more efficiently and effectively than ever before at potent concentrations.
