It programs our endocrine system, circadian rhythm, and nervous system. Excessive exposure to artificial light, particularly at night, has detrimental effects on hormonal balance and overall health. Chronic disruption of our natural circadian due to inadequate exposure to sunlight and excessive exposure to artificial light can lead to health issues, including disrupted sleep, increased inflammation, and metabolic imbalances.  [11:30] Embracing Morning Light  Step outside and experience natural morning light upon waking instead of turning to artificial sources. Morning light signals the start of the day to our internal clock. Natural light triggers the production of hormones that contribute to feelings of energy. Morning light can influence our circadian rhythms and set a beneficial tone for the day ahead.   [22:30] Grounding for Wellness  There are benefits of stepping outside and removing one's shoes to connect with the Earth's magnetic field.  This connection allows the body to discharge excess electrical charge accumulated from exposure to artificial sources of electricity. Grounding yourself on the Earth can mitigate inflammation. It’s important to experience morning sunlight and pay attention to the specific frequencies of light, such as UVA, that contribute to hormonal balance.  [34:50] The Healing Power of Sunlight  We discuss studies demonstrating the health benefits of sunlight exposure, particularly its effects on nitric oxide production, heart efficiency, weight loss, and hormone levels.  Sunlight stimulates the thyroid gland, increases metabolism and fat burning, and enhances sex hormone production. It facilitates the production of structured water inside and around cells, which promotes blood flow and nutrient delivery.  [40:40] Health Risks Associated with Skin Tone  Roudy highlights the differences in susceptibility to chronic diseases, weight gain, and metabolic problems among individuals with varying skin tones.  People with darker skin, particularly those of African origins accustomed to high UV environments, may face increased health risks when moving to regions with lower UV exposure, such as northern latitudes.   [58:40] Lighting the Path to Well-Being  Create an optimal environment to support well-being. Pay attention to the quality of light entering our eyes, as light influences various aspects of our biology, from sleep quality to mood and productivity. Light exposure affects metabolic processes, including glucose regulation and nutrient absorption.

He also explains the innovative topical application method for glutathione, which bypasses traditional limitations. Lastly, Dr. Patel emphasizes the continuous use of glutathione to combat oxidative stress, especially in managing conditions like diabetes. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  *BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.   [00:20] Unlocking the Healing Power of Glutathione  Dr. Patel emphasizes that unlike in the past, viable solutions are now available for harnessing molecules like glutathione. This accessibility is highlighted through technological advancements, making it possible to achieve desired results effectively. While the focus may be on addressing specific concerns like stubborn cellulite, Dr. Patel underscores the importance of viewing health holistically. By activating organs like the gallbladder and liver to eliminate excess fat, the process targets superficial issues and promotes overall wellness.  [06:50] Revolutionizing Glutathione Delivery  Traditional methods of administering glutathione, such as injections, have limitations. These methods often result in the kidneys' rapid filtration of glutathione, leading to minimal absorption. Conventional glutathione supplementation does not adequately raise glutathione levels within the body's cells. Dr. Patel introduces an advancement in glutathione delivery, offering a solution to the issue of absorption. Through topical application, glutathione can bypass the challenges encountered by other delivery methods and directly enter the body's cells, which can remain active for extended periods.  [22:00] Topical Application of Glutaryl  Dr. Patel emphasizes the importance of regular use of Glutaryl, highlighting the continuous need for glutathione in the body. Glutaryl is designed for topical application on non-hairy areas of the body. Dr. Patel shares his experience encountering sulfur odor and stickiness with the formula. He recommends applying it to areas without hair. Despite the concerns about odor and stickiness, Dr. Patel affirms that the formula has remained unchanged since 2007, reflecting its efficacy in delivering glutathione.  [26:20] Guardian of Skin: Harnessing Glutathione's Power  The skin is the body's largest organ, constantly exposed to environmental pollutants. The accumulation of such substances can lead to oxidative stress, necessitating antioxidant support for skin health.  Glutathione, with its potent antioxidant properties, can effectively combat oxidative stress when applied topically, helping to mitigate various skin issues caused by environmental factors.  [43:40] Reframing Diabetes: Understanding Oxidative Stress  Dr. Patel frames diabetes as an oxidative stress disorder. When the body's oxidative stress levels become elevated, it will lead to insulin resistance and other complications associated with diabetes. By addressing oxidative stress, you can mitigate the progression of diabetes-related issues.

#795 Stay Young Forever: Using Glutathione to How To Heal Your Skin, Cellulite & Live Longer with Dr. Nayan Patel

The most important thing to understand about fat loss is that your metabolism runs the show. The Greek definition for metabolism is to “transform”. A healthy metabolism takes different substrates (proteins, fats, carbs, body fat, etc) and transforms it into energy. When this happens, your body creates heat (energy) which raises your basal metabolic rate. The goal is not a fast metabolism, but an efficient one. I’m going to share with you the 5 best ways to fix your metabolism so you can speed up fat loss naturally… and the best part?

#794 5 Ways To Speed Up Fat Loss Naturally!

Today, I am blessed to have Brett Ender here with me. He is the co-founder and co-host of The Meat Mafia Podcast with Harrison Gray, exploring food and nutrition with guests. Ender is also the co-founder of Noble, a beef protein isolate. In this episode, Brett discusses corporate dominance in the food industry, where profit often outweighs nutrition. He also emphasizes the financial benefits of healthier dietary choices and the importance of prioritizing protein intake. Despite his focus on animal products, he advocates for dietary flexibility. Lastly, he challenges misconceptions about agriculture's environmental impact, highlighting its relatively minor role compared to other industries. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  *BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.   [07:40] Corporate Dominance and Regulatory Disparity in the Food Industry  Brett highlights how many large, publicly traded companies dominate the food supply chain. These companies prioritize profit at the expense of producing healthy, nutritious foods. Their focus on efficiency may lead to the proliferation of ultra-processed foods. Brett discusses the discrepancy between government regulations on food options in public schools, where nutritious choices like whole milk are restricted while highly processed options are available.   [12:30] Brett's Path to Healing Through Nutrient-Rich Diet   Brett's journey with ulcerative colitis led him to reevaluate his diet. He made a conscious decision to prioritize nutrient-dense foods, particularly animal protein, as a means of healing. Despite financial constraints, Brett opted for investing in high-quality, nourishing foods, rather than relying on medications. He emphasizes the cost-effectiveness of preventive healthcare through dietary changes, compared to the financial burden of hospital bills.   [19:40] The Financial Benefits of Healthier Dietary Choices  Brett highlights the importance of quantifying the cost savings and benefits associated with making healthier dietary choices.  Compare the cost of grass-fed meat at the grocery store versus fast food options like Taco Bell, as well as the financial savings from fasting.  [32:50] Prioritizing Protein Intake  Brett emphasizes the importance of simplicity for dietary choices. He suggests aiming for a gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight from animal products.  By sticking to protein sources that you enjoy, you can establish a solid foundation for their nutritional intake without getting overwhelmed by sourcing or other details initially.  [39:35] Dietary Flexibility: Finding Balance Beyond 'The Meat Mafia'  Despite having a podcast called "The Meat Mafia" and sharing his healing journey with animal products, Brett acknowledges the importance of dietary flexibility.  He mentions that while the majority of his calories come from animal products, he incorporates fruits, vegetables, and other foods prepared by his girlfriend. This highlights the idea that dietary approaches should be adaptable to individual preferences, tolerances, and circumstances.  [47:50] Rethinking Agriculture's Impact  Brett highlights the misconception that agriculture, particularly conventional methods involving confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), contributes significantly to environmental issues.  He points out that while there are concerns with agriculture, its impact pales in comparison to industries like energy and transportation. There is a need for a broader understanding of the various factors influencing environmental sustainability.
