Meet glutathione, your new favorite antioxidant!

Is This Undercover Antioxidant The Secret To All-Day Energy? Vitamins C and E get most antioxidant lip service, but not everyone knows about this  master antioxidant  that helps prevent numerous conditions including aging, cancer, heart disease, and dementia.  Yes, you can get it as a supplement, but there are more effective ways to build this rock-star antioxidant. It’s called glutathione (pronounced "gloota-thigh-own"): the mother of all antioxidants, the master detoxifier, and maestro of your immune system. Meet glutathione, your new favorite antioxidant. Glutathione is a very simple molecule produced naturally from three amino acids: cysteine, glycine, and glutamine. Its sulfur chemical groups provide glutathione’s benefits. Sulfur is a sticky, smelly molecule that acts like flypaper. All the bad things in your body stick onto it, including free radicals and toxins like mercury and other heavy metals. Your body can make its own glutathione. Unfortunat...

Take Nutrition to the Next Level

Nutrigenomic approaches to wellness . Nutrigenomics is the study of how nutrients in food and other plant-derived substances send the body positive signals to help reverse disease processes to promote and restore healthy functioning. In other words, how nutrition can help you reach your genetic potential for their best health possible. How does it work? Unhealthy or nutrient-poor foods and other negative lifestyle habits can cause the body to send signals that lead to inflammation, compromised function, and over time the development of a number of chronic illnesses. Eating a healthy diet is applying nutrigenomics at a very basic level. Filling in the gaps when needed or enhancing the diet with specific nutritional supplements provides a more personalized nutrigenomics approach. Take nutrigenomic approaches even further . Certain phytonutrient derivatives have also been shown to offer more targeted influences on specific activities in the body, s...

How Your Immune System Can Impact Your Behavior

Image
Our immune system is a powerful force inside each one of us!  This protective system is charged with the job of responding to foreign invaders to keep us in optimal health.  Most of us don’t think too much about this system until it is not working correctly.  I treat many patients that suffer from overactive or under-active immune systems due to chronic infections, like tick-borne diseases;  toxic exposures, like mold and mycotoxins; or autoimmune diseases, like multiple sclerosis, lupus or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.  Although many patients understand the important role of the immune system in protection and defense, few people know that it also controls our behavior.    A recent study in Nature   discussed the role of cytokines activated when the immune system goes on red alert and the connection to social isolation and autistic behaviors.  It’s even plausible that changes in immune function may lead to personality cha...
