The Antioxidant Your Brain Needs: Glutathione, Aging & Brain Fog

- Glutathione Plays a Major Role in Detoxification and Oxidative Stress
Nayan Patel explains that glutathione is a naturally produced antioxidant made from three amino acids — glutamine, glycine, and cysteine. He describes it as the body’s “master antioxidant” because it helps neutralize oxidative stress and supports detoxification processes in the liver and cells. - Declining Glutathione Levels May Affect Brain Health and Aging
The conversation explores how glutathione production may decline with age while toxic load and oxidative stress increase. Nayan discusses how this imbalance may contribute to brain fog, fatigue, inflammation, poor mental clarity, and neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and ALS. - Lifestyle Habits and Nutrition May Support Natural Glutathione Production
Nayan shares practical strategies to support glutathione naturally, including reducing toxin exposure, limiting alcohol and smoking, avoiding excessive sun exposure, and consuming sulfur-rich foods that contain cysteine. He also discusses NAC supplementation and how targeted antioxidant support may help the body maintain healthier glutathione levels over time.
