The Root Cause Hiding Behind One Family’s Alzheimer’s Diagnosis with Nicole Bell
Ask the root cause question, even in the hardest cases. Nicole's husband was handed an early onset Alzheimer's diagnosis and a plan to simply track his decline. Her engineer's instinct to keep asking why is what surfaced the tick borne infections underneath, Lyme along with Bartonella and Babesia. How and where you test matters. Standard tick borne testing missed it at first, and Nicole is candid that detection in this space is still improving. Her point is not that a test guarantees an answer, it is that the wrong test can wrongly close the door. Think vectors, not just ticks. Bartonella can travel through fleas and lice, not only tick bites, so Nicole encourages people to look honestly at their own exposure history, a pet adoption, an infestation, time spent outdoors, before deciding the risk does not apply to
Why Cysteine Controls Glutathione Production
Cysteine is the rate-limiting amino acid for glutathione production, meaning without enough of it, glycine and glutamine cannot do their job. Since glutamine is already the most abundant amino acid in the body, cysteine often becomes the key supplement to focus on. For educational purposes only. #Glutathione #Cysteine #NAC
What GlyNAC Actually Gives Your Body
Glycine is one of the lower-level amino acids we get from diet, so pairing it with NAC creates a smart combination that covers two of the three building blocks of glutathione. Since the body already has plenty of glutamine, this duo makes strong biological sense. For educational purposes only. #Glutathione #GlyNAC #NAC
Why Sulfite Reactions Look Like Allergies
Sulfite reactions can look nearly identical to allergic reactions, causing wheezing, congestion, hives, flushing, and digestive issues. Because histamine responses trigger many of the same symptoms, sulfite sensitivity is often mistaken for a classic allergy. For educational purposes only. #SulfiteSensitivity #Allergies #HistamineIntolerance
Why Your Sulfite Oxidase Works Slowly
For most people with sulfite reactions, the enzyme sulfite oxidase is present but working slowly. Genetic variations known as SNPs can reduce how efficiently this enzyme converts harmful sulfites into safer sulfates.

This Amino Acid Feeds Into Your Dopamine Pathway
Tyrosine is generally well tolerated because the body naturally uses it every day from its amino acid pool. Overdose symptoms tend to feel like being over-caffeinated, but at safe doses it can support mental focus and mood. For educational purposes only. #Tyrosine #FocusSupport #MoodSupport
How NAD Supports Mitochondrial Energy
NAD, the active form of vitamin B3, is a key cofactor that fuels oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria. Supporting NAD levels directly helps the body produce more cellular energy. For educational purposes only. #NAD #MitochondrialHealth #CellularEnergy
What Red Light Does to Your Mitochondria
Red light therapy directly stimulates the mitochondria through oxidative phosphorylation, supporting cellular energy production. Beyond its known antioxidant and pain-relief benefits, it works as a true mitochondrial therapy. For educational purposes only. #RedLightTherapy #MitochondrialHealth #CellularEnergy
Cheap Glutathione vs Quality Glutathione
Not all glutathione supplements are worth the money. Dry powdered glutathione is poorly absorbed when taken orally, so stick with acetyl glutathione, liposomal glutathione, or a combination of the two for real results. For educational purposes only. #Glutathione #SupplementTips #Antioxidants
Acetyl vs Liposomal Glutathione: Which Absorbs Better?
Acetyl glutathione and liposomal glutathione are the two most absorbable oral forms. Some brands now combine both into a liposomal acetyl glutathione, which absorbs so well you only need about a quarter of the standard dose. For educational purposes only. #Glutathione #LiposomalGlutathione #Antioxidants
How Fasting Supports Your Body’s Daily Rhythm
Intermittent fasting does more than support weight loss. It can improve circadian rhythm, boost immune cell activity, lower inflammation, enhance gut microbial diversity, and help restore the body's oxidative balance. For educational purposes only. #IntermittentFasting #GutHealth #CircadianRhythm
