Menopause Mastery | Glutathione, Menopause, & Aging: The Missing Piece in Oxidative Stress and Why It Matters | Ep. 298 with Dr. Gina Nick
🌿Welcome to The Menopause Mastery Show!
What if some of the changes women experience during perimenopause and menopause are connected to more than changing hormone levels? In this episode, Dr. Betty Murray dives into oxidative stress, inflammation, detoxification, and the role glutathione may play in supporting the body’s natural processes.
Dr. Gina Nick, a naturopathic physician, researcher, and expert in detoxification, joins the conversation to explain how she became focused on glutathione and why she believes supporting the body’s detoxification and antioxidant systems deserves more attention during midlife. We discuss the relationship between estrogen changes, oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial health, and the symptoms women commonly experience during menopause.
In this episode, we discuss:
* Dr. Gina Nick’s journey into naturopathic medicine and detoxification and what research went into creating Vitamin G™
* What oxidative stress means in the context of women’s health
* Glutathione and its role inside the cells
* The relationship between estrogen changes, inflammation, and menopause
* Neuroinflammation, brain fog, anxiety, and mood changes
* Oxidative stress and cardiovascular health
* What the body’s natural detoxification system actually does
* Why daily detox-supporting habits can matter
* The potential drawbacks of extreme fasting and detox protocols
* Why “more” glutathione isn’t necessarily better
* The importance of zinc, magnesium, B vitamins, and other cofactors
* Genetics and individual differences in glutathione pathways
* Supplement marketing and navigating health information online
* Glutathione, the liver, and hormone metabolism
* Dr. Gina’s association with Menrva
* The future of personalized menopause care and women’s health research
Menopause is a complex transition involving far more than a single hormone. This conversation explores how hormones, inflammation, oxidative stress, detoxification, lifestyle, genetics, and individualized care can intersect—and why looking at the whole picture may be important when supporting women through midlife. ✨🌿
