I’m celebrating someone’s birthday all day today, so there’s no Masterclass and there’s no premium Q&A. Next week we’ll be going over my labs - you won’t want to miss those, trust me.
Today, I wanted to write about how to boost glutathione.
Glutathione is one of the most important biomolecules for health and longevity. As we age, glutathione inexorably declines. Glutathione is broadly one of our best metrics for assessing our body’s energy levels. Our bodies use glutathione to remove toxins and neutralize free radicals.
This makes keeping glutathione levels up one of our top priorities in medicine.
So how do I do this in my practice?
I'm currently testing the LifeWave glutathione patches in my practice. These have been shown to boost glutathione levels.
I will be sharing the results of what I find with premium subscribers.
You can join my LifeWave team here. You can get wholesale pricing through that link. I strongly recommend you start with the X39, X49, and since we’re on the topic, the glutathione patches.
I attended the This Is It Convention for LifeWave in Tampa this past weekend. I had a great time catching up with friends and hearing great presenters. I was part of the doctor’s panel and am looking forward to sharing the recording of that with you all soon - stay tuned.
What I most enjoyed was hearing people’s testimonials. I was encouraged by the reports of my colleagues as to how these patches are improving their patient’s lives. I got this testimonial about the glutathione patches recently:
As a vegetarian, I have experienced low glutathione for years but experienced side effects from all supplements I tried until LifeWave. I have since seen great results with several other patches!
Glutathione production is controlled by melatonin. So everything that optimizes melatonin, optimizes glutathione production.
That includes:
And this is why I won't shut up about the importance of these things.
Beyond that, you need raw ingredients to make glutathione.
What goes into glutathione?
Glutathione is a tripeptide, which means it consists of three amino acids.
The rate-limiting amino acids are glycine and cysteine.
Where do we find these amino acids?
Bone broth
Meat
Whey (milk protein)
Eggs
Protein goals vary, so I can't make a "one-size-fits-all" recommendation, but most of the time I recommend 2 grams per inch of height. That's 120 grams at 5 feet and 144 grams at 6 feet.
This is why I am so adamant about getting enough protein in a world that’s full of toxic waste.
Beyond that, here is the simple recipe I use to boost glutathione.
