In today's episode, we'll be taking a deep dive into the master

2

antioxidant, known as glutathione,

and how it can support your fertility.

3

Welcome to the finally Get

Pregnant Naturally Podcast.

4

The podcast helping women identify

the real reasons you haven't

5

conceived or stayed pregnant, so

you and your partner can finally

6

grow the family of your dreams.

7

I'm your host, Dr.

8

Katie Wood.

9

Let's dive in, shall we?

10

Katie: In this episode, you'll

discover what glutathione is, the

11

overall benefits of this potent

antioxidant, and exactly how glutathione

12

can help you with your fertility.

13

I'll be talking with Dr.

14

Gina Nick, a world renowned naturopathic

physician, researcher, and formulator

15

based in Newport Beach, California

with a dedication to holistic wellness.

16

She's known for her expertise

in treating a wide range of

17

health concerns from autoimmune

diseases to addiction, recovery,

18

anxiety, and more so welcome, Dr.

19

Gina.

20

I am super excited for our conversation

today as I have not had anyone on yet

21

specifically to talk about glutathione.

22

Oh, it's a pleasure to be here.

23

Thank you for having me.

24

Yeah.

25

So for any of the listeners who maybe

haven't heard glutathione before, maybe

26

they have seen it on social media,

but they really don't know what it is.

27

Yeah.

28

What is glutathione?

29

Gina: So glutathione is,

it's a master antioxidant.

30

So it helps to neutralize free radicals,

toxins in your cells and render them

31

inactive and get them out of your

system as efficiently as possible.

32

It's a combination actually, of

three amino acids, so it's referred

33

to as a tribe peptide, and it's

found in every cell in your body.

34

It's one of the main detoxifying agents.

35

It's one of the most important

ways that your body takes toxins

36

and removes them from your system.

37

And I always say, I'm always surprised,

and I didn't know a lot about glutathione

38

until I went to medical school and used in

my practice, but I'm always surprised at

39

how little people know about glutathione.

40

Because it's so powerful.

41

It's naturally occurring in the body.

42

It is so needed, especially these days.

43

And so my mission is to make

glutathione a household name.

44

Mm-hmm.

45

Just like vitamin C.

46

It's as important.

47

It works with vitamin C and we don't

always know what the heck it is.

48

Really to educate people on, I coined

the phrase vitamin G because it's

49

easier to remember than glutathione.

50

It's this long word, but it has so

many beneficial roles in your body, and

51

it's one of those things where, because

it's naturally occurring in the body.

52

It's, it's recognized, right?

53

And your body knows what to do with it.

54

Mm-hmm.

55

And as we're exposed, we're all

hearing more and more in the media

56

about exposure to toxins, whether it's

pesticides, heavy metals, all of that.

57

And, and so this is one of those things

where glutathione levels go down as

58

you're exposed to more and more toxins.

59

Hmm.

60

And there is so much research

on the benefits of glutathione.

61

There's over a hundred thousand

clinical research studies on this one

62

antioxidant, and that's why I'm like,

okay, we need to be talking about this.

63

Especially with, with the subject

that you're focused on, fertility,

64

it is so important for men and women.

65

In terms of protecting the sperm and

protecting the ovaries and helping

66

to encourage a healthy pregnancy.

67

And so that's a quick rundown of what

glutathione is, why it's important.

68

Katie: Yes, absolutely.

69

I love it and I do think it, it is on

its way to becoming more of a household

70

name and more commonly known as, social

media is one of those really nice ways

71

that it does really help inform us and

make us more aware of things like that.

72

So I think it's beautiful that you are

wanting to educate more people about it.

73

'cause it, it is so important and

it does play so many important

74

roles, beneficial roles in the body.

75

So let's talk about that.

76

What are some of the overall

benefits of glutathione?

77

Gina: There's so many.

78

It's one of those things.

79

It's.

80

I always equate it to

something like vitamin C.

81

Vitamin C is so essential to so many

different functions in your body.

82

And I think that's why there's so

much research that's been done on this

83

because it's so foundational and it

impacts every system in your body.

84

So if we start with the brain

there's something called

85

neuroinflammation inflammation in the.

86

That can be triggered by exposure to

toxins, compromised hormone balance.

87

There's a lot of reasons.

88

Exposure to viruses, mold, yeast, all

of those things can cause inflammation

89

in the brain that leads to, like

impaired thought, cognitive decline.

90

Even things like attention

deficit disorder.

91

It plays a role with autism.

92

It, it plays a role with Alzheimer's

disease, Parkinson's disease, and.

93

I'm starting with the brain

because your brain is most

94

vulnerable to exposure to toxins.

95

And one of the reasons it's so vulnerable

is because the levels of glutathione in

96

the brain get depleted rather quickly.

97

And what's interesting is

when you talk about toxins,

98

they tend to congregate.

99

In the mitochondria of our cells,

the powerhouse of our cells.

100

So we talk about the brain.

101

Brain cells, that's where those free

radicals that cause damage tend to hang

102

out, right in the powerhouse of the cells.

103

That's where glutathione is.

104

And so as you're exposed to those

toxins, your glutathione levels get

105

de depleted, and then you have issues.

106

And so in terms of brain health,

glutathione plays a major role.

107

There's a lot of glutathione

found in the liver.

108

The liver is, consider it the

biggest detoxification organ.

109

And so it plays a really important

role with taking toxins and converting

110

them into a form where they can

then get excreted from your body.

111

There's this whole system called the

human detoxification system, that you know

112

about, but most people don't know about.

113

I didn't know about it until I learned

about it in school and really even.

114

And not that much in school.

115

I learned about it on my own after

graduating, but there's this human

116

detoxification system that is so

critical to every function in your body.

117

It's as important as the hormone

system, the endocrine system, it's as

118

important as the cardiovascular system.

119

There's this human detoxification

system, and it's comprised of the liver.

120

The lymphatic system, your skin,

the largest detoxification organ,

121

your kidneys, your colon, all

work together to remove toxins and

122

protect your cells, and protect your

mitochondria, the powerhouse of your

123

cells so that you remain energized,

healthy, vital, fertile, and so forth.

124

And so in terms of what glutathione does,

it supports that whole system in the body.

125

It helps with hormone balance.

126

You could look at it as as it

relates to fertility, like bubble

127

wrap around sperm and ovaries.

128

It really protects your cells

from damage to exposure to

129

things that we can't all avoid.

130

We're not all living in a bubble.

131

It'd be a lot easier maybe

if we were, I don't know.

132

No, it wouldn't, it'd be boring.

133

But, like it's, we, we are

exposed to these things.

134

It's impossible to avoid them all.

135

There's things you can do.

136

To help, especially when you're talking

about fertility, it's really important

137

to look at things that you can do day

to day to minimize exposure to toxins.

138

But glutathione is one of those

things that protects yourselves

139

from damage from toxins.

140

I see that as the biggest

role that glutathione plays.

141

Mm-hmm.

142

And again, it's, it's a

combination of three amino acids

143

naturally occurring in the body.

144

You can boost glutathione levels

naturally through different foods.

145

Like things like broccoli, strawberries,

even pasture raised, grass fed meat

146

has levels of glutathione in it.

147

But it seems that on a day-to-day

basis, our levels are getting

148

more and more depleted.

149

And as we get older, our

levels naturally decline.

150

And low levels of glutathione

are associated with infertility.

151

Katie: Mm-hmm.

152

Gina: And so that's where it's like if

we're, if we're doing something daily to

153

boost our own levels of glutathione, we're

taking a real active step in protecting

154

ourselves, all of ourselves from harm.

155

Katie: It almost reminds

me of magnesium, right?

156

Magnesium is so important for so many

different enzymatic reactions in the

157

body, and we are so easily depleted of it.

158

Our food is already depleted of it.

159

So we really do have to find ways

to replenish our body of that.

160

So yeah, it, it also reminds me of like.

161

When you said the bubble wrap,

like a bouncer at, at a club?

162

Yes.

163

Or something like that.

164

Like it's, it's perfect analogy.

165

Yeah.

166

It's just there to protect the cell.

167

And I know that you had mentioned the

brain and the brain is so vulnerable, but

168

also when we are under stress, especially

a lot of oxidative stress and, and all

169

those things, our reproduction is going

to be also one of the first things that

170

really goes on the back burner because.

171

It's not our body's priority

in terms of survival.

172

And then also when you were talking about.

173

As we age, our levels just

naturally decline as well.

174

There's a lot of women in their, upper

thirties, forties who are wanting, to have

175

a baby or to have many babies, and this

is really one of those antioxidants that

176

can, one, maybe you're already depleted

in, and two, your body could maybe really.

177

Use those extra resources

and benefits of glutathione.

178

Gina: Yes.

179

Yeah, it's interesting.

180

Now the IV hydration has become very

popular, at least in California,

181

where I am, and in Hawaii as well,

where there's these IV clinics where

182

you can get nutrients through an

iv, which can be really helpful.

183

But if you look at most of the

combinations that they have available,

184

pre combined, iVs, glutathione

is in like every one of them.

185

Mm-hmm.

186

You have to ask why?

187

Like when, when, because it is so crucial,

and I'm not a huge fan of IV glutathione.

188

And there's reasons for that, but

it just speaks to the importance

189

of this particular antioxidant.

190

It impacts the immune system.

191

So when we talk about fertility, having

a balanced immune system is so important.

192

And dealing with any autoimmune type

conditions and things like Hashimoto's

193

thyroiditis and so forth become

also very important as it relates

194

to fertility and glutathione plays

a role there as well in helping to

195

modulate immune system function.

196

Katie: Mm-hmm.

197

Gina: It sounds like the greatest

thing since sliced bread.

198

It's just one of, but it's one of those

things where I see as just, it's not

199

the, it's not the be all end all, but

it is such an important component.

200

To maintaining health and wellbeing.

201

During these times, and especially as we,

one of my patients says, grows up, she's

202

in her eighties, thriving, amazing woman.

203

Just published her second book and just

got, another PhD and exercises every day.

204

She's like, Dr.

205

Gina, don't tell me I'm getting old.

206

I'm just growing up.

207

So as we grow up, as as women, right?

208

And, and more and more women

are looking at wanting to become

209

pregnant at a well later age.

210

I had my daughter naturally at 39,

so I get it and I get all the angst

211

around it and all of that, but the

glutathione is super important as well

212

as hormone balance, and glutathione

plays a role with hormone balance as well

213

Katie: mm-hmm.

214

Yeah, so let's talk about that Actually.

215

We've talked about so many of the

different benefits of glutathione,

216

but let's get a little bit

more specific with fertility.

217

'cause I know that that's what

all the listeners are here for.

218

Yeah.

219

How specifically can it benefit

fertility, both for males and females?

220

Gina: Yeah, so it protects the ovaries.

221

From oxidative stress, so it

protects your ovaries from damage.

222

One of the reasons your ovaries will

have oxidative stress is because of

223

lower levels of glutathione, because

as we grow up, our levels go down.

224

So it's just a natural thing that

happens, and so that's super important.

225

It also protects the quality of sperm.

226

When there's oxidative stress, the

quality of the sperm goes down,

227

which can make it so that there's

not a viable pregnancy, right?

228

And so it protects the sperm, it

protects the ovaries, and there's

229

good data showing that low glutathione

levels compromises for fertility.

230

And it makes sense.

231

It just makes sense.

232

It's, it's really that simple.

233

It's helping to offset oxidative stress.

234

Oxidative stress is basically

free radicals or toxins that

235

cause damage to the mitochondria,

the powerhouse of your cells.

236

As that happens, fertility

becomes compromised.

237

Also as it relates to hormone

balance, glutathione is so

238

important for hormone balance.

239

I'm treating patients with hormone

imbalances all the time, and

240

glutathione is a really important

part of my treatment plans always.

241

So if oftentimes women will have

a deficiency or a suboptimal level

242

of progesterone, for example.

243

And if I'm giving progesterone, I'm

giving glutathione as well because it

244

helps the body to clear hormones in a

healthy way to maintain hormonal balance.

245

Katie: Sure, yeah.

246

Because a lot of times and women having

low progesterone is a very common.

247

Steam in terms of what we're seeing

in the fertility space and then also

248

the, like the estrogen to progesterone

ratio is off and glutathione plays

249

a role, like you were just saying,

in terms of the estrogen metabolism.

250

Gina: Yes.

251

Yeah.

252

It helps to offset the, the

risk of estrogen dominance.

253

Which is basically too much

estrogen relative to progesterone.

254

Mm-hmm.

255

Progesterone progest

critical for, for pregnancy.

256

Estrogen.

257

It's interesting because toxins, there

are some toxins that are xenoestrogens, so

258

they're, they mimic estrogen in your body.

259

They'll actually attach to receptors

in your estrogen receptors, but they're

260

causing harm and they're cau, it's

causing like a false elevation of

261

estrogen, leading to estrogen dominance,

causes inflammation, all of that.

262

Yes, bringing the progesterone level

up super important, but also addressing

263

those xenoestrogens that are causing an

unhealthy increase in estrogen that's,

264

that's affecting that balance too.

265

Katie: Yeah, that's a really good

point to bring up the xenoestrogens.

266

So are there any labs or

biomarkers that can tell us if

267

we're deficient in glutathione?

268

'cause I'm sure a lot of, a

lot of listeners are like, oh,

269

how do I know, like what my

270

Gina: glutathione levels are?

271

I've done a deep dive on this.

272

I've lectured on this to physicians

at the, American Academy of

273

Anti-Aging Medicine over the years

274

there is no perfect way

to test for glutathione.

275

Mm-hmm.

276

In my practice, I'll do blood test.

277

I don't know how effective it

is, honestly, because glutathione

278

is in every cell in your body.

279

So doing a blood test will, if it's low

that's a real good indication that likely.

280

A lot of your cells are deficient in it.

281

But there's no amazing way

to test for glutathione.

282

So I do some indirect tests.

283

So there's something, there's a urine

test testing pyroglutamate levels, and

284

it's through an organic acids test.

285

That's a way to measure glutathione wast.

286

How much your body's using up glutathione

and if it is using up too much,

287

that's that's an indirect indication

that yeah, you would benefit from

288

boosting your glutathione levels.

289

There's also a blood test called GTT

when that level to liver enzyme, when

290

that level is high, that's a pretty

good indication that your body is

291

trying very hard to maintain glutathione

levels because they're depleted.

292

So I tend to look at GTT blood glutathione

levels and pyroglutamate levels.

293

Katie: Mm-hmm.

294

Gina: But again, there's not like this

perfect way because again, it's like how

295

do you test every cell in your body to see

the levels that are in your mitochondria?

296

And then my philosophy is anytime

you can find these nutrients in

297

Whole Foods, that's number one.

298

If you can, eat more of the healthy

organic fruits and vegetables, that

299

will naturally boost glutathione

levels, especially if they're grown,

300

on soil that comes from a regenerative

agriculture, farm, which is hard

301

to do all the time, that your,

your levels may be higher removing.

302

Exposure to toxins will help.

303

And then to me, supplementing with

a level of glutathione that kind of

304

mimics what you would get if you were

in a perfect world and your body was

305

working efficiently, perfectly every

day, and you were eating a perfect diet

306

every day, and you weren't exposed to

toxins supplementing with that level.

307

So I, I refer to it as a physiologic dose.

308

Mm-hmm.

309

To me is a very safe and reasonable way

to be proactive with protecting your

310

cells while not giving your body too much.

311

Because there's a whole conversation

on, once you start learning about

312

glutathione and you're like, oh my

gosh, I wanna take this every day.

313

I wanna inject it, I wanna use it

all the time because it's this,

314

amazing anti-aging antioxidant.

315

Too much isn't good either.

316

Mm-hmm.

317

And here's why.

318

There's two reasons.

319

Your body has very tight regulations

around the amount of glutathione.

320

It will keep, so it, it's under very tight

homeostatic regulation with glutathione.

321

That's number one.

322

Also, when you introduce glutathione

in the body, it eats up a lot of other

323

nutrients to keep it in its active form.

324

So the body is amazing.

325

In its innate wisdom and how it works,

and what we know about glutathione is if

326

you have glutathione in your cells, you're

exposed to toxins, you know your ovaries

327

are exposed to toxins, there's oxidative

damage your body will use glutathione

328

to protect those ovaries from damage.

329

And then that glutathione converts to

a form called oxidized glutathione.

330

At that point, your body will work

to recycle it to an active form,

331

again called reduce glutathione.

332

Guess what?

333

That requires a lot of nutra.

334

It requires vitamin C and zinc

and B vitamins to keep it there.

335

So when people go and they get, high

dose IVs of glutathione all the time,

336

initially they might feel great, right?

337

'cause their inflammation,

their brain has gone down.

338

They're like, this is amazing for me.

339

There's a point where there's like

diminishing returns where it doesn't

340

work anymore, and one of the reasons

is because you've depleted your body of

341

these other essential co-factors that are

necessary to keep everything in balance.

342

So like when I go to formulate

a glutathione supplement, I'm

343

looking at providing the co-factors

that your body needs to keep

344

glutathione in its active form.

345

I'm not introducing so much glutathione

that you're, you're actually causing

346

harm or burdening your body more.

347

That's the balance there.

348

Katie: Yeah.

349

And I feel like that goes with

just so many, so many supplements,

350

so many vitamins and isolation.

351

Like we really have to think

about the, the bigger picture in

352

terms of supplementing and the

downstream effects that it can have.

353

So I love that you're

so intentional about.

354

Not having more or too much

of a good thing, right?

355

And providing those co-factors as well.

356

So I think that that's.

357

A perfect segue to really dive in

and talk about your glutathione pixie

358

sticks, because I have so many questions.

359

As a pharmacist, yeah.

360

And just as someone who's curious

about taking them herself and

361

recommending them to clients and

the listeners and things like that.

362

So tell us about these glutathione,

pixie sticks, and just all of your

363

passion and expertise and intention

that has gone into them as well.

364

Gina: Sure, sure.

365

My journey with glutathione goes, back

several decades I was using my practice.

366

I was seeing that patients were

getting really good results.

367

Uh uh, I have a nephew who has

autism and I was always trying to get

368

glutathione, and I just knew, I kept

telling my sister he needs glutathione.

369

I know, but then the liposomal form,

which was considered the only oral

370

form that actually got into your cells.

371

Where, where there's, you know

this, it's actually a myth, but that

372

all oral glutathione doesn't work.

373

You have to inject it

in order for it to work.

374

That's not true, but there's a

liposomal form that's effective,

375

but it doesn't taste good.

376

And then oftentimes you

have to refrigerate it.

377

And so it was a major barrier there.

378

And then I didn't want to inject my.

379

Little nephew, right?

380

So I didn't wanna do that and, and started

then and I kept pondering how do we get

381

glutathione to kids and adults in a way

that it's easily accessible, tastes good.

382

Because , I'm a doctor,

I'm like in practice seeing

383

patients day in and day out.

384

So I'm not just a formulator

who's geeing out on the research.

385

I wanna actually take that research

and actually turn it into a form

386

where it's gonna be useful for people.

387

At the end of the day where

they'll actually take it and

388

they'll get the benefits.

389

And so it was during COVID, I

was homeschooling my daughter.

390

I was looking at her, I'm like,

how do I get glutathione into

391

her and her friends, right?

392

Let alone the moms and the dads out there.

393

And I was like, you know what?

394

I wanna make it like candy, where it

tastes like candy looks a little bit

395

like candy, but actually is causing

benefit to the body versus harm.

396

And so that's where this,

this kind of came to be.

397

And I've been formulating

products forever.

398

It's just what I love to do.

399

And I put a formula together.

400

I sent it off to the lab.

401

I got back the first sample,

and it was like amazing.

402

Off the bat, it was just like perfect.

403

And I saw that my daughter loved it, her

friends loved it, the neighbors loved it.

404

And I was like, okay,

this is something real.

405

And I used a form of glutathione

that is clinically proven to boost

406

blood levels, to boost RBC levels.

407

And the only reason I knew

about it was because I was

408

hired by the company who makes.

409

Glutathione in this form to

research it in my practice and

410

to speak about it, or I probably

wouldn't have even known about it.

411

Let alone done all the research

so that I feel like I, this was

412

divinely inspired, this whole process.

413

But that's the pixie stick.

414

So it's, there's no sugar sweetened

with glycine, which is one of the

415

amino acids found in glutathione.

416

So it helps to boost levels that way.

417

There's a little bit of stevia in it, and

other than that, it's just the, it's the,

418

the co-factors, the things the body uses

to maintain reduced levels of glutathione.

419

In a convenient pixie stick, so you can

put in water, I'll take it directly.

420

I just like taking it, on, on the tongue.

421

And it's just, it's that,

that's, that's what they are.

422

Yeah.

423

Katie: And they have other

vitamins in there as well.

424

And those were the co-factors

that you were talking about?

425

Gina: Yes.

426

And, and this, this formula,

originally it was, I really wanted to

427

help with boosting immune function.

428

Supportive detoxification and but

it also has the co-factors that the

429

body uses to maintain reduced levels.

430

So it has things like

magnesium, glycinate, zinc.

431

Vitamin D three and it's all

the doses are really important.

432

So I didn't just put in

ingredients so I could have it on.

433

The label.

434

Drives me nuts when you see these products

that have all these amazing ingredients,

435

but there's, two milligrams of each

ingredient, but people don't realize

436

it's not gonna do anything at that dose.

437

So using doses that are not too high.

438

Not too low, but supporting

balance in the body.

439

Mm-hmm.

440

So things like vitamin D three, glycine,

magnesium's glycinate, which is a pretty

441

high quality form of magnesium zinc.

442

And so it's kinda a well-rounded

glutathione formula that

443

supports immune function.

444

Protect cells from oxidative stress,

helps to lower neuroinflammation

445

and just support overall.

446

Health and wellbeing mm-hmm.

447

In kids and adults.

448

So I designed them to be good

for children as well as adults,

449

but with women who are pregnant.

450

I always say anytime you're considering

any supplement, always work with a

451

qualified healthcare practitioner who

understands nutritional supplements truly

452

so that they can guide you on whether it's

safe or not for you personally to take.

453

Everybody is different.

454

Everybody's unique.

455

But the dosages I use are dosages

that are found in quality foods and

456

dosages that are found naturally in

the body to help offset any potential

457

risk of taking the supplement.

458

Katie: Beautiful.

459

Yeah.

460

So there will be a link in the

show notes to check that out.

461

So to be sure to check that out.

462

I definitely am going to myself.

463

I feel like with school, just going back

into session, it sounds like the perfect

464

immunity support to add on to there.

465

And so I love to end the episodes Dr.

466

Gino, with three simple action steps you

would like to leave with the listeners.

467

Okay.

468

Gina: Three.

469

So the first one would be do

something daily to support your

470

human detoxification system.

471

So that can be taking a supplement

like, of course I'm biased, but the

472

vitamin G glutathione, pixie sticks.

473

It could be deciding to not use

plastic water bottles at home.

474

To, to minimize exposure to

the toxins from the plastic.

475

It could be choosing to exercise

for 15 minutes out in nature

476

to support detoxification

and balanced cortisol levels.

477

I'll make that number two actually.

478

So number one would be take us

daily action to support your human

479

detoxification system, avoiding

toxins and taking something

480

to support detoxification.

481

Number two would be

spending time out in nature.

482

Listening to the sounds of nature,

so not with AirPods on or headphones

483

on, but actually being out in nature.

484

It can be as little as 15 minutes, ideally

two hours because that helps to regulate

485

your stress hormones, cortisol, which

is central to all your other hormones.

486

It's one of the best ways to regulate

your stress response is just get

487

out of nature, any kind of nature.

488

That would be number two.

489

And then number three would be as

best you can to prioritize sleep.

490

Hmm.

491

So take the time do a digital detox.

492

So shut those phones off.

493

Put 'em away.

494

Get them away from your, if you

can keep 'em out of your bedroom.

495

If you, if you believe in using

EMF blockers, do that too.

496

But just prioritize healthy sleep.

497

And that involves, like I said, get

shy those phones off, putting 'em

498

away and allowing yourself to go

to sleep in a nice, peaceful way.

499

Because so much healing

happens while you're sleeping.

500

Katie: Beautiful.

501

And all of those are just so

supportive of your fertility as well.

502

So let the listeners know where they can

find you, learn more and connect with you.

503

Gina: Sure.

512

Katie: Awesome.

513

Thank you so much.

514

This was a really fun and informative

episode and just, I think it's a

515

really nice action step and awareness

around something else that we can

516

really do to support our fertility,

but not just fertility, our immune

517

health, our brain health, like

just so many benefits in the body.

518

So thank you so much.

519

Gina: Oh, it's my pleasure.

520

Hopefully it, it keeps it simple

'cause there's so much information

521

out there and I think a lot of

people are overwhelmed these days

522

with all of the wellness influencers

and all the information online.

523

So I'm hoping to keep the message

simple and straightforward and doable.
