Summary

There's one molecule inside every cell of your body that you can't live without and by middle age, your production of it has dropped substantially from where it was in your twenties. Once you understand what it does, you'll never look at fatigue, brain fog, dull skin, or the 3pm crash the same way again.

What if I told you there's one molecule inside your body that you literally cannot live without?

0:04.8

It's quietly running out every single day. They call it the master antioxidant. Your liver makes it. Your immune system runs on it. Your skin glows because of it. It's called glutathione. Today, I'm going to walk you through the 15 most asked questions about glutathione. Glutothion is a tripeptide, meaning three amino acids,

0:22.9

glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. Glutothion is one of those foundational molecules. It's

0:27.6

quietly running every system in your body, every second of every day, every Tylenol you take,

0:33.0

every drink you have, every late night, every breath of polluted air, every plastic water bottle, all of it is

0:38.2

burning through your glutathione reserves. So let's get into it. Question number one.

0:42.3

What if I told you there's one molecule inside your body that you literally cannot live without

1:00.0

that's quietly running out every single day? And it's the difference between feeling 35 and feeling 65.

1:07.2

They call it the master antioxidant. Your liver makes it. Your immune system runs on it. Your skin

1:12.8

glows because of it. Your mitochondria, the engines inside of every single cell, depend on it to make

1:18.8

energy. And here's the kicker. By the time you hit middle age, your body's glutathione production

1:24.4

has dropped substantially from where it was in your 20s. It's called glutathione,

1:29.9

glutathione, and if you've never heard of it, you're not alone. But once you understand what it does,

1:35.4

you'll never look at fatigue, brain fog, dull skin, slow recovery, or that 3 p.m. crash the same way

1:41.3

again. Here's what most people don't know. Every Tylenol you take,

1:44.9

every drink you have, every late night, every breath of polluted air, every plastic water bottle,

1:50.2

all of it is burning through your glutathione reserves. So today, I'm going to walk you through

1:55.3

the 15 most-asked questions about glutathione. What is it? What it does? What depletes it? How do you bring it back?

2:02.1

And at the end, I'll show you the only delivery method that's been shown to nearly triple your

2:06.7

absorption and why I personally take it every single day. This is the ultimate human podcast,

2:11.8

so let's get into it. Question number one, what is glutathione? Well, glutathione is a tripeptide, meaning three amino acids,

glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. It's produced naturally by your liver. It is called the master
