Episode Description
<p><strong>What if one spray could upgrade your brain, protect your mitochondria, and outperform IV therapy and liposomal supplements?</strong> In this episode, you’ll discover the breakthrough science behind <em>topical glutathione delivery </em>that uses your skin’s <em>water channels</em> to raise <em>intracellular glutathione</em> levels in just 60 seconds. Learn how this powerful antioxidant works at the cellular level to reduce <em>oxidative stress</em>, support <em>mitochondrial function</em>, and drive real improvements in <em>brain health</em>, <em>emotional resilience</em>, and <em>human performance</em>. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience:</strong> </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR</a> </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Host Dave Asprey</strong> sits down with <em>Nayan Patel</em>, a world-leading pharmacist and formulator who pioneered this next-gen delivery method. With over two decades of clinical work in <em>functional medicine</em>, Nayan has helped reshape how we think about <em>glutathione benefits</em>, systemic detox, and performance optimization. His research shows that topical delivery bypasses traditional fat-based absorption, achieving higher brain uptake and faster results than IVs or capsules. </p><p><br></p><p> You’ll learn: </p><p>• Why <em>glutathione for longevity</em> is foundational to <em>biohacking</em> </p><p>• How it protects against <em>cellular inflammation</em> and improves <em>TBI recovery issues</em> </p><p>• Why pairing <em>glutathione with NAD+</em>, <em>vitamin C</em>, or <em>pharmaceutical nicotine</em> creates a powerful synergy </p><p>• How it preserves NAD+, supports <em>sirtuins</em>, and enhances ATP production </p><p>• When to use glutathione as an <em>immune booster</em> for resilience and recovery </p><p><br></p><p>This conversation also reveals the truth behind <em>liposomal supplements</em>, how your age affects glutathione absorption, and why this molecule is critical for anyone using <em>nootropics</em>, in <em>ketosis</em>, or pushing metabolic limits. </p><p><br></p><p>This episode is essential listening for anyone into biohacking, cold therapy, functional medicine, or RFK-style medical freedom. You’ll walk away with practical tools to boost nitric oxide naturally, prevent dysfunction, and optimize your biology whether you’re on a carnivore diet or just looking for an edge. </p><p><br></p><p> </p><p><strong>Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.
