Katie (00:00):
In today's episode, we'll be taking a deep dive into the master
antioxidant, known as glutathione,and how it can support your fertility.
Welcome to the finally GetPregnant Naturally Podcast.
The podcast helping women identifythe real reasons you haven't
conceived or stayed pregnant, soyou and your partner can finally
(00:20):
grow the family of your dreams.
I'm your host, Dr.
Katie Wood.
Let's dive in, shall we?
In this episode, you'll discover what glutathione is, the
overall benefits of this potentantioxidant, and exactly how glutathione
can help you with your fertility.
I'll be talking with Dr.
(00:41):
Gina Nick, a world renowned naturopathicphysician, researcher, and formulator
based in Newport Beach, Californiawith a dedication to holistic wellness.
She's known for her expertisein treating a wide range of
health concerns from autoimmunediseases to addiction, recovery,
anxiety, and more so welcome, Dr.
(01:03):
Gina.
I am super excited for our conversationtoday as I have not had anyone on yet
specifically to talk about glutathione.
Oh, it's a pleasure to be here.
Thank you for having me.
Yeah.
So for any of the listeners who maybehaven't heard glutathione before, maybe
they have seen it on social media,but they really don't know what it is.
(01:26):
Yeah.
What is glutathione?
Gina (01:28):
So glutathione is, it's a master antioxidant.
So it helps to neutralize free radicals,toxins in your cells and render them
inactive and get them out of yoursystem as efficiently as possible.
It's a combination actually, ofthree amino acids, so it's referred
to as a tribe peptide, and it'sfound in every cell in your body.
(01:50):
It's one of the main detoxifying agents.
It's one of the most importantways that your body takes toxins
and removes them from your system.
And I always say, I'm always surprised,and I didn't know a lot about glutathione
until I went to medical school and used inmy practice, but I'm always surprised at
how little people know about glutathione.
(02:13):
Because it's so powerful.
It's naturally occurring in the body.
It is so needed, especially these days.
And so my mission is to makeglutathione a household name.
Mm-hmm.
Just like vitamin C.
It's as important.
It works with vitamin C and we don'talways know what the heck it is.
Really to educate people on, I coinedthe phrase vitamin G because it's
(02:37):
easier to remember than glutathione.
It's this long word, but it has somany beneficial roles in your body, and
it's one of those things where, becauseit's naturally occurring in the body.
It's, it's recognized, right?
And your body knows what to do with it.
Mm-hmm.
And as we're exposed, we're allhearing more and more in the media
(02:59):
about exposure to toxins, whether it'spesticides, heavy metals, all of that.
And, and so this is one of those thingswhere glutathione levels go down as
you're exposed to more and more toxins.
Hmm.
And there is so much researchon the benefits of glutathione.
There's over a hundred thousandclinical research studies on this one
(03:20):
antioxidant, and that's why I'm like,okay, we need to be talking about this.
Especially with, with the subjectthat you're focused on, fertility,
it is so important for men and women.
In terms of protecting the sperm andprotecting the ovaries and helping
to encourage a healthy pregnancy.
And so that's a quick rundown of whatglutathione is, why it's important.
Katie (03:45):
Yes, absolutely.
I love it and I do think it, it is onits way to becoming more of a household
name and more commonly known as, socialmedia is one of those really nice ways
that it does really help inform us andmake us more aware of things like that.
So I think it's beautiful that you arewanting to educate more people about it.
(04:06):
'cause it, it is so important andit does play so many important
roles, beneficial roles in the body.
So let's talk about that.
What are some of the overallbenefits of glutathione?
Gina (04:21):
There's so many.
It's one of those things.
It's.
I always equate it tosomething like vitamin C.
Vitamin C is so essential to so manydifferent functions in your body.
And I think that's why there's somuch research that's been done on this
because it's so foundational and itimpacts every system in your body.
So if we start with the brainthere's something called
(04:42):
neuroinflammation inflammation in the.
That can be triggered by exposure totoxins, compromised hormone balance.
There's a lot of reasons.
Exposure to viruses, mold, yeast, allof those things can cause inflammation
in the brain that leads to, likeimpaired thought, cognitive decline.
(05:02):
Even things like attentiondeficit disorder.
It plays a role with autism.
It, it plays a role with Alzheimer'sdisease, Parkinson's disease, and.
I'm starting with the brainbecause your brain is most
vulnerable to exposure to toxins.
And one of the reasons it's so vulnerableis because the levels of glutathione in
(05:25):
the brain get depleted rather quickly.
And what's interesting iswhen you talk about toxins,
they tend to congregate.
In the mitochondria of our cells,the powerhouse of our cells.
So we talk about the brain.
Brain cells, that's where those freeradicals that cause damage tend to hang
(05:45):
out, right in the powerhouse of the cells.
That's where glutathione is.
And so as you're exposed to thosetoxins, your glutathione levels get
de depleted, and then you have issues.
And so in terms of brain health,glutathione plays a major role.
There's a lot of glutathionefound in the liver.
The liver is, consider it thebiggest detoxification organ.
(06:10):
And so it plays a really importantrole with taking toxins and converting
them into a form where they canthen get excreted from your body.
There's this whole system called thehuman detoxification system, that you know
about, but most people don't know about.
I didn't know about it until I learnedabout it in school and really even.
And not that much in school.
I learned about it on my own aftergraduating, but there's this human
(06:33):
detoxification system that is socritical to every function in your body.
It's as important as the hormonesystem, the endocrine system, it's as
important as the cardiovascular system.
There's this human detoxificationsystem, and it's comprised of the liver.
The lymphatic system, your skin,the largest detoxification organ,
(06:56):
your kidneys, your colon, allwork together to remove toxins and
protect your cells, and protect yourmitochondria, the powerhouse of your
cells so that you remain energized,healthy, vital, fertile, and so forth.
And so in terms of what glutathione does,it supports that whole system in the body.
(07:19):
It helps with hormone balance.
You could look at it as as itrelates to fertility, like bubble
wrap around sperm and ovaries.
It really protects your cellsfrom damage to exposure to
things that we can't all avoid.
We're not all living in a bubble.
It'd be a lot easier maybeif we were, I don't know.
No, it wouldn't, it'd be boring.
(07:40):
But, like it's, we, we areexposed to these things.
It's impossible to avoid them all.
There's things you can do.
To help, especially when you're talkingabout fertility, it's really important
to look at things that you can do dayto day to minimize exposure to toxins.
But glutathione is one of thosethings that protects yourselves
from damage from toxins.
(08:01):
I see that as the biggestrole that glutathione plays.
Mm-hmm.
And again, it's, it's acombination of three amino acids
naturally occurring in the body.
You can boost glutathione levelsnaturally through different foods.
Like things like broccoli, strawberries,even pasture raised, grass fed meat
(08:21):
has levels of glutathione in it.
But it seems that on a day-to-daybasis, our levels are getting
more and more depleted.
And as we get older, ourlevels naturally decline.
And low levels of glutathioneare associated with infertility.
Katie (08:38):
Mm-hmm.
Gina (08:39):
And so that's where it's like if we're, if we're doing something daily to
boost our own levels of glutathione, we'retaking a real active step in protecting
ourselves, all of ourselves from harm.
Katie (08:53):
It almost reminds me of magnesium, right?
Magnesium is so important for so manydifferent enzymatic reactions in the
body, and we are so easily depleted of it.
Our food is already depleted of it.
So we really do have to find waysto replenish our body of that.
So yeah, it, it also reminds me of like.
(09:15):
When you said the bubble wrap,like a bouncer at, at a club?
Yes.
Or something like that.
Like it's, it's perfect analogy.
Yeah.
It's just there to protect the cell.
And I know that you had mentioned thebrain and the brain is so vulnerable, but
also when we are under stress, especiallya lot of oxidative stress and, and all
(09:35):
those things, our reproduction is goingto be also one of the first things that
really goes on the back burner because.
It's not our body's priorityin terms of survival.
And then also when you were talking about.
As we age, our levels justnaturally decline as well.
There's a lot of women in their, upperthirties, forties who are wanting, to have
(10:01):
a baby or to have many babies, and thisis really one of those antioxidants that
can, one, maybe you're already depletedin, and two, your body could maybe really.
Use those extra resourcesand benefits of glutathione.
Gina (10:20):
Yes.
Yeah, it's interesting.
Now the IV hydration has become verypopular, at least in California,
where I am, and in Hawaii as well,where there's these IV clinics where
you can get nutrients through aniv, which can be really helpful.
But if you look at most of thecombinations that they have available,
(10:41):
pre combined, iVs, glutathioneis in like every one of them.
Mm-hmm.
You have to ask why?
Like when, when, because it is so crucial,and I'm not a huge fan of IV glutathione.
And there's reasons for that, butit just speaks to the importance
of this particular antioxidant.
It impacts the immune system.
(11:02):
So when we talk about fertility, havinga balanced immune system is so important.
And dealing with any autoimmune typeconditions and things like Hashimoto's
thyroiditis and so forth becomealso very important as it relates
to fertility and glutathione playsa role there as well in helping to
(11:22):
modulate immune system function.
Katie (11:25):
Mm-hmm.
Gina (11:25):
It sounds like the greatest thing since sliced bread.
It's just one of, but it's one of thosethings where I see as just, it's not
the, it's not the be all end all, butit is such an important component.
To maintaining health and wellbeing.
During these times, and especially as we,one of my patients says, grows up, she's
in her eighties, thriving, amazing woman.
(11:47):
Just published her second book and justgot, another PhD and exercises every day.
She's like, Dr.
Gina, don't tell me I'm getting old.
I'm just growing up.
So as we grow up, as as women, right?
And, and more and more womenare looking at wanting to become
pregnant at a well later age.
I had my daughter naturally at 39,so I get it and I get all the angst
(12:11):
around it and all of that, but theglutathione is super important as well
as hormone balance, and glutathioneplays a role with hormone balance as well
Katie (12:21):
mm-hmm.
Yeah, so let's talk about that Actually.
We've talked about so many of thedifferent benefits of glutathione,
but let's get a little bitmore specific with fertility.
'cause I know that that's whatall the listeners are here for.
Yeah.
How specifically can it benefitfertility, both for males and females?
Gina (12:40):
Yeah, so it protects the ovaries.
From oxidative stress, so itprotects your ovaries from damage.
One of the reasons your ovaries willhave oxidative stress is because of
lower levels of glutathione, becauseas we grow up, our levels go down.
So it's just a natural thing thathappens, and so that's super important.
(13:01):
It also protects the quality of sperm.
When there's oxidative stress, thequality of the sperm goes down,
which can make it so that there'snot a viable pregnancy, right?
And so it protects the sperm, itprotects the ovaries, and there's
good data showing that low glutathionelevels compromises for fertility.
(13:23):
And it makes sense.
It just makes sense.
It's, it's really that simple.
It's helping to offset oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress is basicallyfree radicals or toxins that
cause damage to the mitochondria,the powerhouse of your cells.
As that happens, fertilitybecomes compromised.
(13:44):
Also as it relates to hormonebalance, glutathione is so
important for hormone balance.
I'm treating patients with hormoneimbalances all the time, and
glutathione is a really importantpart of my treatment plans always.
So if oftentimes women will havea deficiency or a suboptimal level
of progesterone, for example.
And if I'm giving progesterone, I'mgiving glutathione as well because it
(14:09):
helps the body to clear hormones in ahealthy way to maintain hormonal balance.
Katie (14:19):
Sure, yeah.
Because a lot of times and women havinglow progesterone is a very common.
Steam in terms of what we're seeingin the fertility space and then also
the, like the estrogen to progesteroneratio is off and glutathione plays
a role, like you were just saying,in terms of the estrogen metabolism.
Gina (14:43):
Yes.
Yeah.
It helps to offset the, therisk of estrogen dominance.
Which is basically too muchestrogen relative to progesterone.
Mm-hmm.
Progesterone progestcritical for, for pregnancy.
Estrogen.
It's interesting because toxins, thereare some toxins that are xenoestrogens, so
(15:04):
they're, they mimic estrogen in your body.
They'll actually attach to receptorsin your estrogen receptors, but they're
causing harm and they're cau, it'scausing like a false elevation of
estrogen, leading to estrogen dominance,causes inflammation, all of that.
Yes, bringing the progesterone levelup super important, but also addressing
(15:28):
those xenoestrogens that are causing anunhealthy increase in estrogen that's,
that's affecting that balance too.
Katie (15:37):
Yeah, that's a really good point to bring up the xenoestrogens.
So are there any labs orbiomarkers that can tell us if
we're deficient in glutathione?
'cause I'm sure a lot of, alot of listeners are like, oh,
how do I know, like what my
Gina (15:51):
glutathione levels are?
I've done a deep dive on this.
I've lectured on this to physiciansat the, American Academy of
Anti-Aging Medicine over the years
there is no perfect wayto test for glutathione.
Mm-hmm.
In my practice, I'll do blood test.
I don't know how effective itis, honestly, because glutathione
is in every cell in your body.
(16:12):
So doing a blood test will, if it's lowthat's a real good indication that likely.
A lot of your cells are deficient in it.
But there's no amazing wayto test for glutathione.
So I do some indirect tests.
So there's something, there's a urinetest testing pyroglutamate levels, and
it's through an organic acids test.
That's a way to measure glutathione wast.
(16:34):
How much your body's using up glutathioneand if it is using up too much,
that's that's an indirect indicationthat yeah, you would benefit from
boosting your glutathione levels.
There's also a blood test called GTTwhen that level to liver enzyme, when
that level is high, that's a prettygood indication that your body is
(16:56):
trying very hard to maintain glutathionelevels because they're depleted.
So I tend to look at GTT blood glutathionelevels and pyroglutamate levels.
Katie (17:07):
Mm-hmm.
Gina (17:09):
But again, there's not like this perfect way because again, it's like how
do you test every cell in your body to seethe levels that are in your mitochondria?
And then my philosophy is anytimeyou can find these nutrients in
Whole Foods, that's number one.
If you can, eat more of the healthyorganic fruits and vegetables, that
will naturally boost glutathionelevels, especially if they're grown,
(17:32):
on soil that comes from a regenerativeagriculture, farm, which is hard
to do all the time, that your,your levels may be higher removing.
Exposure to toxins will help.
And then to me, supplementing witha level of glutathione that kind of
mimics what you would get if you werein a perfect world and your body was
(17:55):
working efficiently, perfectly everyday, and you were eating a perfect diet
every day, and you weren't exposed totoxins supplementing with that level.
So I, I refer to it as a physiologic dose.
Mm-hmm.
To me is a very safe and reasonable wayto be proactive with protecting your
cells while not giving your body too much.
(18:18):
Because there's a whole conversationon, once you start learning about
glutathione and you're like, oh mygosh, I wanna take this every day.
I wanna inject it, I wanna use itall the time because it's this,
amazing anti-aging antioxidant.
Too much isn't good either.
Mm-hmm.
And here's why.
There's two reasons.
Your body has very tight regulationsaround the amount of glutathione.
(18:41):
It will keep, so it, it's under very tighthomeostatic regulation with glutathione.
That's number one.
Also, when you introduce glutathionein the body, it eats up a lot of other
nutrients to keep it in its active form.
So the body is amazing.
In its innate wisdom and how it works,and what we know about glutathione is if
(19:06):
you have glutathione in your cells, you'reexposed to toxins, you know your ovaries
are exposed to toxins, there's oxidativedamage your body will use glutathione
to protect those ovaries from damage.
And then that glutathione converts toa form called oxidized glutathione.
At that point, your body will workto recycle it to an active form,
(19:31):
again called reduce glutathione.
Guess what?
That requires a lot of nutra.
It requires vitamin C and zincand B vitamins to keep it there.
So when people go and they get, highdose IVs of glutathione all the time,
initially they might feel great, right?
'cause their inflammation,their brain has gone down.
(19:51):
They're like, this is amazing for me.
There's a point where there's likediminishing returns where it doesn't
work anymore, and one of the reasonsis because you've depleted your body of
these other essential co-factors that arenecessary to keep everything in balance.
So like when I go to formulatea glutathione supplement, I'm
(20:11):
looking at providing the co-factorsthat your body needs to keep
glutathione in its active form.
I'm not introducing so much glutathionethat you're, you're actually causing
harm or burdening your body more.
That's the balance there.
Katie (20:28):
Yeah.
And I feel like that goes withjust so many, so many supplements,
so many vitamins and isolation.
Like we really have to thinkabout the, the bigger picture in
terms of supplementing and thedownstream effects that it can have.
So I love that you'reso intentional about.
Not having more or too muchof a good thing, right?
(20:51):
And providing those co-factors as well.
So I think that that's.
A perfect segue to really dive inand talk about your glutathione pixie
sticks, because I have so many questions.
As a pharmacist, yeah.
And just as someone who's curiousabout taking them herself and
recommending them to clients andthe listeners and things like that.
(21:14):
So tell us about these glutathione,pixie sticks, and just all of your
passion and expertise and intentionthat has gone into them as well.
Gina (21:25):
Sure, sure.
My journey with glutathione goes, backseveral decades I was using my practice.
I was seeing that patients weregetting really good results.
Uh uh, I have a nephew who hasautism and I was always trying to get
glutathione, and I just knew, I kepttelling my sister he needs glutathione.
I know, but then the liposomal form,which was considered the only oral
(21:46):
form that actually got into your cells.
Where, where there's, you knowthis, it's actually a myth, but that
all oral glutathione doesn't work.
You have to inject itin order for it to work.
That's not true, but there's aliposomal form that's effective,
but it doesn't taste good.
And then oftentimes youhave to refrigerate it.
And so it was a major barrier there.
(22:07):
And then I didn't want to inject my.
Little nephew, right?
So I didn't wanna do that and, and startedthen and I kept pondering how do we get
glutathione to kids and adults in a waythat it's easily accessible, tastes good.
Because , I'm a doctor,I'm like in practice seeing
patients day in and day out.
So I'm not just a formulatorwho's geeing out on the research.
(22:31):
I wanna actually take that researchand actually turn it into a form
where it's gonna be useful for people.
At the end of the day wherethey'll actually take it and
they'll get the benefits.
And so it was during COVID, Iwas homeschooling my daughter.
I was looking at her, I'm like,how do I get glutathione into
her and her friends, right?
Let alone the moms and the dads out there.
(22:52):
And I was like, you know what?
I wanna make it like candy, where ittastes like candy looks a little bit
like candy, but actually is causingbenefit to the body versus harm.
And so that's where this,this kind of came to be.
And I've been formulatingproducts forever.
It's just what I love to do.
And I put a formula together.
(23:14):
I sent it off to the lab.
I got back the first sample,and it was like amazing.
Off the bat, it was just like perfect.
And I saw that my daughter loved it, herfriends loved it, the neighbors loved it.
And I was like, okay,this is something real.
And I used a form of glutathionethat is clinically proven to boost
blood levels, to boost RBC levels.
(23:36):
And the only reason I knewabout it was because I was
hired by the company who makes.
Glutathione in this form toresearch it in my practice and
to speak about it, or I probablywouldn't have even known about it.
Let alone done all the researchso that I feel like I, this was
divinely inspired, this whole process.
But that's the pixie stick.
(23:57):
So it's, there's no sugar sweetenedwith glycine, which is one of the
amino acids found in glutathione.
So it helps to boost levels that way.
There's a little bit of stevia in it, andother than that, it's just the, it's the,
the co-factors, the things the body usesto maintain reduced levels of glutathione.
In a convenient pixie stick, so you canput in water, I'll take it directly.
(24:21):
I just like taking it, on, on the tongue.
And it's just, it's that,that's, that's what they are.
Yeah.
Katie (24:29):
And they have other vitamins in there as well.
And those were the co-factorsthat you were talking about?
Gina (24:34):
Yes.
And, and this, this formula,originally it was, I really wanted to
help with boosting immune function.
Supportive detoxification and butit also has the co-factors that the
body uses to maintain reduced levels.
So it has things likemagnesium, glycinate, zinc.
Vitamin D three and it's allthe doses are really important.
(24:54):
So I didn't just put iningredients so I could have it on.
The label.
Drives me nuts when you see these productsthat have all these amazing ingredients,
but there's, two milligrams of eachingredient, but people don't realize
it's not gonna do anything at that dose.
So using doses that are not too high.
Not too low, but supportingbalance in the body.
(25:16):
Mm-hmm.
So things like vitamin D three, glycine,magnesium's glycinate, which is a pretty
high quality form of magnesium zinc.
And so it's kinda a well-roundedglutathione formula that
supports immune function.
Protect cells from oxidative stress,helps to lower neuroinflammation
(25:38):
and just support overall.
Health and wellbeing mm-hmm.
In kids and adults.
So I designed them to be goodfor children as well as adults,
but with women who are pregnant.
I always say anytime you're consideringany supplement, always work with a
qualified healthcare practitioner whounderstands nutritional supplements truly
(26:00):
so that they can guide you on whether it'ssafe or not for you personally to take.
Everybody is different.
Everybody's unique.
But the dosages I use are dosagesthat are found in quality foods and
dosages that are found naturally inthe body to help offset any potential
risk of taking the supplement.
Katie (26:21):
Beautiful.
Yeah.
So there will be a link in theshow notes to check that out.
So to be sure to check that out.
I definitely am going to myself.
I feel like with school, just going backinto session, it sounds like the perfect
immunity support to add on to there.
And so I love to end the episodes Dr.
(26:42):
Gino, with three simple action steps youwould like to leave with the listeners.
Okay.
Gina (26:49):
Three.
So the first one would be dosomething daily to support your
human detoxification system.
So that can be taking a supplementlike, of course I'm biased, but the
vitamin G glutathione, pixie sticks.
It could be deciding to not useplastic water bottles at home.
To, to minimize exposure tothe toxins from the plastic.
(27:12):
It could be choosing to exercisefor 15 minutes out in nature
to support detoxificationand balanced cortisol levels.
I'll make that number two actually.
So number one would be take usdaily action to support your human
detoxification system, avoidingtoxins and taking something
to support detoxification.
Number two would bespending time out in nature.
(27:36):
Listening to the sounds of nature,so not with AirPods on or headphones
on, but actually being out in nature.
It can be as little as 15 minutes, ideallytwo hours because that helps to regulate
your stress hormones, cortisol, whichis central to all your other hormones.
It's one of the best ways to regulateyour stress response is just get
(27:59):
out of nature, any kind of nature.
That would be number two.
And then number three would be asbest you can to prioritize sleep.
Hmm.
So take the time do a digital detox.
So shut those phones off.
Put 'em away.
Get them away from your, if youcan keep 'em out of your bedroom.
(28:19):
If you, if you believe in usingEMF blockers, do that too.
But just prioritize healthy sleep.
And that involves, like I said, getshy those phones off, putting 'em
away and allowing yourself to goto sleep in a nice, peaceful way.
Because so much healinghappens while you're sleeping.
Katie (28:40):
Beautiful.
And all of those are just sosupportive of your fertility as well.
So let the listeners know where they canfind you, learn more and connect with you.

Katie (29:10):
Awesome.
Thank you so much.
This was a really fun and informativeepisode and just, I think it's a
really nice action step and awarenessaround something else that we can
really do to support our fertility,but not just fertility, our immune
health, our brain health, likejust so many benefits in the body.
So thank you so much.
Gina (29:31):
Oh, it's my pleasure.
Hopefully it, it keeps it simple'cause there's so much information
out there and I think a lot ofpeople are overwhelmed these days
with all of the wellness influencersand all the information online.
So I'm hoping to keep the messagesimple and straightforward and doable.

I'm your host, Dr.
Katie Wood.
Let's dive in, shall we?
In this episode, you'll discover what glutathione is, the
overall benefits of this potentantioxidant, and exactly how glutathione
can help you with your fertility.
I'll be talking with Dr.
(00:41):
Gina Nick, a world renowned naturopathicphysician, researcher, and formulator
based in Newport Beach, Californiawith a dedication to holistic wellness.
She's known for her expertisein treating a wide range of
health concerns from autoimmunediseases to addiction, recovery,
anxiety, and more so welcome, Dr.
(01:03):
Gina.
I am super excited for our conversationtoday as I have not had anyone on yet
specifically to talk about glutathione.
Oh, it's a pleasure to be here.
Thank you for having me.
Yeah.
So for any of the listeners who maybehaven't heard glutathione before, maybe
they have seen it on social media,but they really don't know what it is.
(01:26):
Yeah.
What is glutathione?
Gina (01:28):
So glutathione is, it's a master antioxidant.
So it helps to neutralize free radicals,toxins in your cells and render them
inactive and get them out of yoursystem as efficiently as possible.
It's a combination actually, ofthree amino acids, so it's referred
to as a tribe peptide, and it'sfound in every cell in your body.
(01:50):
It's one of the main detoxifying agents.
It's one of the most importantways that your body takes toxins
and removes them from your system.
And I always say, I'm always surprised,and I didn't know a lot about glutathione
until I went to medical school and used inmy practice, but I'm always surprised at
how little people know about glutathione.
(02:13):
Because it's so powerful.
It's naturally occurring in the body.
It is so needed, especially these days.
And so my mission is to makeglutathione a household name.
Mm-hmm.
Just like vitamin C.
It's as important.
It works with vitamin C and we don'talways know what the heck it is.
Really to educate people on, I coinedthe phrase vitamin G because it's
(02:37):
easier to remember than glutathione.
It's this long word, but it has somany beneficial roles in your body, and
it's one of those things where, becauseit's naturally occurring in the body.
It's, it's recognized, right?
And your body knows what to do with it.
Mm-hmm.
And as we're exposed, we're allhearing more and more in the media
(02:59):
about exposure to toxins, whether it'spesticides, heavy metals, all of that.
And, and so this is one of those thingswhere glutathione levels go down as
you're exposed to more and more toxins.
Hmm.
And there is so much researchon the benefits of glutathione.
There's over a hundred thousandclinical research studies on this one
(03:20):
antioxidant, and that's why I'm like,okay, we need to be talking about this.
Especially with, with the subjectthat you're focused on, fertility,
it is so important for men and women.
In terms of protecting the sperm andprotecting the ovaries and helping
to encourage a healthy pregnancy.
And so that's a quick rundown of whatglutathione is, why it's important.
Katie (03:45):
Yes, absolutely.
I love it and I do think it, it is onits way to becoming more of a household
name and more commonly known as, socialmedia is one of those really nice ways
that it does really help inform us andmake us more aware of things like that.
So I think it's beautiful that you arewanting to educate more people about it.
(04:06):
'cause it, it is so important andit does play so many important
roles, beneficial roles in the body.
So let's talk about that.
What are some of the overallbenefits of glutathione?
Gina (04:21):
There's so many.
It's one of those things.
It's.
I always equate it tosomething like vitamin C.
Vitamin C is so essential to so manydifferent functions in your body.
And I think that's why there's somuch research that's been done on this
because it's so foundational and itimpacts every system in your body.
So if we start with the brainthere's something called
(04:42):
neuroinflammation inflammation in the.
That can be triggered by exposure totoxins, compromised hormone balance.
There's a lot of reasons.
Exposure to viruses, mold, yeast, allof those things can cause inflammation
in the brain that leads to, likeimpaired thought, cognitive decline.
(05:02):
Even things like attentiondeficit disorder.
It plays a role with autism.
It, it plays a role with Alzheimer'sdisease, Parkinson's disease, and.
I'm starting with the brainbecause your brain is most
vulnerable to exposure to toxins.
And one of the reasons it's so vulnerableis because the levels of glutathione in
(05:25):
the brain get depleted rather quickly.
And what's interesting iswhen you talk about toxins,
they tend to congregate.
In the mitochondria of our cells,the powerhouse of our cells.
So we talk about the brain.
Brain cells, that's where those freeradicals that cause damage tend to hang
(05:45):
out, right in the powerhouse of the cells.
That's where glutathione is.
And so as you're exposed to thosetoxins, your glutathione levels get
de depleted, and then you have issues.
And so in terms of brain health,glutathione plays a major role.
There's a lot of glutathionefound in the liver.
The liver is, consider it thebiggest detoxification organ.
(06:10):
And so it plays a really importantrole with taking toxins and converting
them into a form where they canthen get excreted from your body.
There's this whole system called thehuman detoxification system, that you know
about, but most people don't know about.
I didn't know about it until I learnedabout it in school and really even.
And not that much in school.
I learned about it on my own aftergraduating, but there's this human
(06:33):
detoxification system that is socritical to every function in your body.
It's as important as the hormonesystem, the endocrine system, it's as
important as the cardiovascular system.
There's this human detoxificationsystem, and it's comprised of the liver.
The lymphatic system, your skin,the largest detoxification organ,
(06:56):
your kidneys, your colon, allwork together to remove toxins and
protect your cells, and protect yourmitochondria, the powerhouse of your
cells so that you remain energized,healthy, vital, fertile, and so forth.
And so in terms of what glutathione does,it supports that whole system in the body.
(07:19):
It helps with hormone balance.
You could look at it as as itrelates to fertility, like bubble
wrap around sperm and ovaries.
It really protects your cellsfrom damage to exposure to
things that we can't all avoid.
We're not all living in a bubble.
It'd be a lot easier maybeif we were, I don't know.
No, it wouldn't, it'd be boring.
(07:40):
But, like it's, we, we areexposed to these things.
It's impossible to avoid them all.
There's things you can do.
To help, especially when you're talkingabout fertility, it's really important
to look at things that you can do dayto day to minimize exposure to toxins.
But glutathione is one of thosethings that protects yourselves
from damage from toxins.
(08:01):
I see that as the biggestrole that glutathione plays.
Mm-hmm.
And again, it's, it's acombination of three amino acids
naturally occurring in the body.
You can boost glutathione levelsnaturally through different foods.
Like things like broccoli, strawberries,even pasture raised, grass fed meat
(08:21):
has levels of glutathione in it.
But it seems that on a day-to-daybasis, our levels are getting
more and more depleted.
And as we get older, ourlevels naturally decline.
And low levels of glutathioneare associated with infertility.
Katie (08:38):
Mm-hmm.
Gina (08:39):
And so that's where it's like if we're, if we're doing something daily to
boost our own levels of glutathione, we'retaking a real active step in protecting
ourselves, all of ourselves from harm.
Katie (08:53):
It almost reminds me of magnesium, right?
Magnesium is so important for so manydifferent enzymatic reactions in the
body, and we are so easily depleted of it.
Our food is already depleted of it.
So we really do have to find waysto replenish our body of that.
So yeah, it, it also reminds me of like.
(09:15):
When you said the bubble wrap,like a bouncer at, at a club?
Yes.
Or something like that.
Like it's, it's perfect analogy.
Yeah.
It's just there to protect the cell.
And I know that you had mentioned thebrain and the brain is so vulnerable, but
also when we are under stress, especiallya lot of oxidative stress and, and all
(09:35):
those things, our reproduction is goingto be also one of the first things that
really goes on the back burner because.
It's not our body's priorityin terms of survival.
And then also when you were talking about.
As we age, our levels justnaturally decline as well.
There's a lot of women in their, upperthirties, forties who are wanting, to have
(10:01):
a baby or to have many babies, and thisis really one of those antioxidants that
can, one, maybe you're already depletedin, and two, your body could maybe really.
Use those extra resourcesand benefits of glutathione.
Gina (10:20):
Yes.
Yeah, it's interesting.
Now the IV hydration has become verypopular, at least in California,
where I am, and in Hawaii as well,where there's these IV clinics where
you can get nutrients through aniv, which can be really helpful.
But if you look at most of thecombinations that they have available,
(10:41):
pre combined, iVs, glutathioneis in like every one of them.
Mm-hmm.
You have to ask why?
Like when, when, because it is so crucial,and I'm not a huge fan of IV glutathione.
And there's reasons for that, butit just speaks to the importance
of this particular antioxidant.
It impacts the immune system.
(11:02):
So when we talk about fertility, havinga balanced immune system is so important.
And dealing with any autoimmune typeconditions and things like Hashimoto's
thyroiditis and so forth becomealso very important as it relates
to fertility and glutathione playsa role there as well in helping to
(11:22):
modulate immune system function.
Katie (11:25):
Mm-hmm.
Gina (11:25):
It sounds like the greatest thing since sliced bread.
It's just one of, but it's one of thosethings where I see as just, it's not
the, it's not the be all end all, butit is such an important component.
To maintaining health and wellbeing.
During these times, and especially as we,one of my patients says, grows up, she's
in her eighties, thriving, amazing woman.
(11:47):
Just published her second book and justgot, another PhD and exercises every day.
She's like, Dr.
Gina, don't tell me I'm getting old.
I'm just growing up.
So as we grow up, as as women, right?
And, and more and more womenare looking at wanting to become
pregnant at a well later age.
I had my daughter naturally at 39,so I get it and I get all the angst
(12:11):
around it and all of that, but theglutathione is super important as well
as hormone balance, and glutathioneplays a role with hormone balance as well
Katie (12:21):
mm-hmm.
Yeah, so let's talk about that Actually.
We've talked about so many of thedifferent benefits of glutathione,
but let's get a little bitmore specific with fertility.
'cause I know that that's whatall the listeners are here for.
Yeah.
How specifically can it benefitfertility, both for males and females?
Gina (12:40):
Yeah, so it protects the ovaries.
From oxidative stress, so itprotects your ovaries from damage.
One of the reasons your ovaries willhave oxidative stress is because of
lower levels of glutathione, becauseas we grow up, our levels go down.
So it's just a natural thing thathappens, and so that's super important.
(13:01):
It also protects the quality of sperm.
When there's oxidative stress, thequality of the sperm goes down,
which can make it so that there'snot a viable pregnancy, right?
And so it protects the sperm, itprotects the ovaries, and there's
good data showing that low glutathionelevels compromises for fertility.
(13:23):
And it makes sense.
It just makes sense.
It's, it's really that simple.
It's helping to offset oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress is basicallyfree radicals or toxins that
cause damage to the mitochondria,the powerhouse of your cells.
As that happens, fertilitybecomes compromised.
(13:44):
Also as it relates to hormonebalance, glutathione is so
important for hormone balance.
I'm treating patients with hormoneimbalances all the time, and
glutathione is a really importantpart of my treatment plans always.
So if oftentimes women will havea deficiency or a suboptimal level
of progesterone, for example.
And if I'm giving progesterone, I'mgiving glutathione as well because it
(14:09):
helps the body to clear hormones in ahealthy way to maintain hormonal balance.
Katie (14:19):
Sure, yeah.
Because a lot of times and women havinglow progesterone is a very common.
Steam in terms of what we're seeingin the fertility space and then also
the, like the estrogen to progesteroneratio is off and glutathione plays
a role, like you were just saying,in terms of the estrogen metabolism.
Gina (14:43):
Yes.
Yeah.
It helps to offset the, therisk of estrogen dominance.
Which is basically too muchestrogen relative to progesterone.
Mm-hmm.
Progesterone progestcritical for, for pregnancy.
Estrogen.
It's interesting because toxins, thereare some toxins that are xenoestrogens, so
(15:04):
they're, they mimic estrogen in your body.
They'll actually attach to receptorsin your estrogen receptors, but they're
causing harm and they're cau, it'scausing like a false elevation of
estrogen, leading to estrogen dominance,causes inflammation, all of that.
Yes, bringing the progesterone levelup super important, but also addressing
(15:28):
those xenoestrogens that are causing anunhealthy increase in estrogen that's,
that's affecting that balance too.
Katie (15:37):
Yeah, that's a really good point to bring up the xenoestrogens.
So are there any labs orbiomarkers that can tell us if
we're deficient in glutathione?
'cause I'm sure a lot of, alot of listeners are like, oh,
how do I know, like what my
Gina (15:51):
glutathione levels are?
I've done a deep dive on this.
I've lectured on this to physiciansat the, American Academy of
Anti-Aging Medicine over the years
there is no perfect wayto test for glutathione.
Mm-hmm.
In my practice, I'll do blood test.
I don't know how effective itis, honestly, because glutathione
is in every cell in your body.
(16:12):
So doing a blood test will, if it's lowthat's a real good indication that likely.
A lot of your cells are deficient in it.
But there's no amazing wayto test for glutathione.
So I do some indirect tests.
So there's something, there's a urinetest testing pyroglutamate levels, and
it's through an organic acids test.
That's a way to measure glutathione wast.
(16:34):
How much your body's using up glutathioneand if it is using up too much,
that's that's an indirect indicationthat yeah, you would benefit from
boosting your glutathione levels.
There's also a blood test called GTTwhen that level to liver enzyme, when
that level is high, that's a prettygood indication that your body is
(16:56):
trying very hard to maintain glutathionelevels because they're depleted.
So I tend to look at GTT blood glutathionelevels and pyroglutamate levels.
Katie (17:07):
Mm-hmm.
Gina (17:09):
But again, there's not like this perfect way because again, it's like how
do you test every cell in your body to seethe levels that are in your mitochondria?
And then my philosophy is anytimeyou can find these nutrients in
Whole Foods, that's number one.
If you can, eat more of the healthyorganic fruits and vegetables, that
will naturally boost glutathionelevels, especially if they're grown,
(17:32):
on soil that comes from a regenerativeagriculture, farm, which is hard
to do all the time, that your,your levels may be higher removing.
Exposure to toxins will help.
And then to me, supplementing witha level of glutathione that kind of
mimics what you would get if you werein a perfect world and your body was
(17:55):
working efficiently, perfectly everyday, and you were eating a perfect diet
every day, and you weren't exposed totoxins supplementing with that level.
So I, I refer to it as a physiologic dose.
Mm-hmm.
To me is a very safe and reasonable wayto be proactive with protecting your
cells while not giving your body too much.
(18:18):
Because there's a whole conversationon, once you start learning about
glutathione and you're like, oh mygosh, I wanna take this every day.
I wanna inject it, I wanna use itall the time because it's this,
amazing anti-aging antioxidant.
Too much isn't good either.
Mm-hmm.
And here's why.
There's two reasons.
Your body has very tight regulationsaround the amount of glutathione.
(18:41):
It will keep, so it, it's under very tighthomeostatic regulation with glutathione.
That's number one.
Also, when you introduce glutathionein the body, it eats up a lot of other
nutrients to keep it in its active form.
So the body is amazing.
In its innate wisdom and how it works,and what we know about glutathione is if
(19:06):
you have glutathione in your cells, you'reexposed to toxins, you know your ovaries
are exposed to toxins, there's oxidativedamage your body will use glutathione
to protect those ovaries from damage.
And then that glutathione converts toa form called oxidized glutathione.
At that point, your body will workto recycle it to an active form,
(19:31):
again called reduce glutathione.
Guess what?
That requires a lot of nutra.
It requires vitamin C and zincand B vitamins to keep it there.
So when people go and they get, highdose IVs of glutathione all the time,
initially they might feel great, right?
'cause their inflammation,their brain has gone down.
(19:51):
They're like, this is amazing for me.
There's a point where there's likediminishing returns where it doesn't
work anymore, and one of the reasonsis because you've depleted your body of
these other essential co-factors that arenecessary to keep everything in balance.
So like when I go to formulatea glutathione supplement, I'm
(20:11):
looking at providing the co-factorsthat your body needs to keep
glutathione in its active form.
I'm not introducing so much glutathionethat you're, you're actually causing
harm or burdening your body more.
That's the balance there.
Katie (20:28):
Yeah.
And I feel like that goes withjust so many, so many supplements,
so many vitamins and isolation.
Like we really have to thinkabout the, the bigger picture in
terms of supplementing and thedownstream effects that it can have.
So I love that you'reso intentional about.
Not having more or too muchof a good thing, right?
(20:51):
And providing those co-factors as well.
So I think that that's.
A perfect segue to really dive inand talk about your glutathione pixie
sticks, because I have so many questions.
As a pharmacist, yeah.
And just as someone who's curiousabout taking them herself and
recommending them to clients andthe listeners and things like that.
(21:14):
So tell us about these glutathione,pixie sticks, and just all of your
passion and expertise and intentionthat has gone into them as well.
Gina (21:25):
Sure, sure.
My journey with glutathione goes, backseveral decades I was using my practice.
I was seeing that patients weregetting really good results.
Uh uh, I have a nephew who hasautism and I was always trying to get
glutathione, and I just knew, I kepttelling my sister he needs glutathione.
I know, but then the liposomal form,which was considered the only oral
(21:46):
form that actually got into your cells.
Where, where there's, you knowthis, it's actually a myth, but that
all oral glutathione doesn't work.
You have to inject itin order for it to work.
That's not true, but there's aliposomal form that's effective,
but it doesn't taste good.
And then oftentimes youhave to refrigerate it.
And so it was a major barrier there.
(22:07):
And then I didn't want to inject my.
Little nephew, right?
So I didn't wanna do that and, and startedthen and I kept pondering how do we get
glutathione to kids and adults in a waythat it's easily accessible, tastes good.
Because , I'm a doctor,I'm like in practice seeing
patients day in and day out.
So I'm not just a formulatorwho's geeing out on the research.
(22:31):
I wanna actually take that researchand actually turn it into a form
where it's gonna be useful for people.
At the end of the day wherethey'll actually take it and
they'll get the benefits.
And so it was during COVID, Iwas homeschooling my daughter.
I was looking at her, I'm like,how do I get glutathione into
her and her friends, right?
Let alone the moms and the dads out there.
(22:52):
And I was like, you know what?
I wanna make it like candy, where ittastes like candy looks a little bit
like candy, but actually is causingbenefit to the body versus harm.
And so that's where this,this kind of came to be.
And I've been formulatingproducts forever.
It's just what I love to do.
And I put a formula together.
(23:14):
I sent it off to the lab.
I got back the first sample,and it was like amazing.
Off the bat, it was just like perfect.
And I saw that my daughter loved it, herfriends loved it, the neighbors loved it.
And I was like, okay,this is something real.
And I used a form of glutathionethat is clinically proven to boost
blood levels, to boost RBC levels.
(23:36):
And the only reason I knewabout it was because I was
hired by the company who makes.
Glutathione in this form toresearch it in my practice and
to speak about it, or I probablywouldn't have even known about it.
Let alone done all the researchso that I feel like I, this was
divinely inspired, this whole process.
But that's the pixie stick.
(23:57):
So it's, there's no sugar sweetenedwith glycine, which is one of the
amino acids found in glutathione.
So it helps to boost levels that way.
There's a little bit of stevia in it, andother than that, it's just the, it's the,
the co-factors, the things the body usesto maintain reduced levels of glutathione.
In a convenient pixie stick, so you canput in water, I'll take it directly.
(24:21):
I just like taking it, on, on the tongue.
And it's just, it's that,that's, that's what they are.
Yeah.
Katie (24:29):
And they have other vitamins in there as well.
And those were the co-factorsthat you were talking about?
Gina (24:34):
Yes.
And, and this, this formula,originally it was, I really wanted to
help with boosting immune function.
Supportive detoxification and butit also has the co-factors that the
body uses to maintain reduced levels.
So it has things likemagnesium, glycinate, zinc.
Vitamin D three and it's allthe doses are really important.
(24:54):
So I didn't just put iningredients so I could have it on.
The label.
Drives me nuts when you see these productsthat have all these amazing ingredients,
but there's, two milligrams of eachingredient, but people don't realize
it's not gonna do anything at that dose.
So using doses that are not too high.
Not too low, but supportingbalance in the body.
(25:16):
Mm-hmm.
So things like vitamin D three, glycine,magnesium's glycinate, which is a pretty
high quality form of magnesium zinc.
And so it's kinda a well-roundedglutathione formula that
supports immune function.
Protect cells from oxidative stress,helps to lower neuroinflammation
(25:38):
and just support overall.
Health and wellbeing mm-hmm.
In kids and adults.
So I designed them to be goodfor children as well as adults,
but with women who are pregnant.
I always say anytime you're consideringany supplement, always work with a
qualified healthcare practitioner whounderstands nutritional supplements truly
(26:00):
so that they can guide you on whether it'ssafe or not for you personally to take.
Everybody is different.
Everybody's unique.
But the dosages I use are dosagesthat are found in quality foods and
dosages that are found naturally inthe body to help offset any potential
risk of taking the supplement.
Katie (26:21):
Beautiful.
Yeah.
So there will be a link in theshow notes to check that out.
So to be sure to check that out.
I definitely am going to myself.
I feel like with school, just going backinto session, it sounds like the perfect
immunity support to add on to there.
And so I love to end the episodes Dr.
(26:42):
Gino, with three simple action steps youwould like to leave with the listeners.
Okay.
Gina (26:49):
Three.
So the first one would be dosomething daily to support your
human detoxification system.
So that can be taking a supplementlike, of course I'm biased, but the
vitamin G glutathione, pixie sticks.
It could be deciding to not useplastic water bottles at home.
To, to minimize exposure tothe toxins from the plastic.
(27:12):
It could be choosing to exercisefor 15 minutes out in nature
to support detoxificationand balanced cortisol levels.
I'll make that number two actually.
So number one would be take usdaily action to support your human
detoxification system, avoidingtoxins and taking something
to support detoxification.
Number two would bespending time out in nature.
(27:36):
Listening to the sounds of nature,so not with AirPods on or headphones
on, but actually being out in nature.
It can be as little as 15 minutes, ideallytwo hours because that helps to regulate
your stress hormones, cortisol, whichis central to all your other hormones.
It's one of the best ways to regulateyour stress response is just get
(27:59):
out of nature, any kind of nature.
That would be number two.
And then number three would be asbest you can to prioritize sleep.
Hmm.
So take the time do a digital detox.
So shut those phones off.
Put 'em away.
Get them away from your, if youcan keep 'em out of your bedroom.
(28:19):
If you, if you believe in usingEMF blockers, do that too.
But just prioritize healthy sleep.
And that involves, like I said, getshy those phones off, putting 'em
away and allowing yourself to goto sleep in a nice, peaceful way.
Because so much healinghappens while you're sleeping.
