In this episode, we delve into the multifaceted world of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs), starting with a comprehensive overview of what they are and their pivotal role in human health. We'll explore the intricate process behind AGE formation within the body, shedding light on the factors that contribute to its creation. A major focus will be on unraveling the significant impact of AGEs on the body, drawing connections between these compounds and the aging process, as well as their involvement in various chronic diseases. Our exploration extends further into lifestyle factors that play a role in the formation of AGEs, unveiling how certain habits and environmental aspects contribute to their accumulation. We address diagnostic methods utilized in monitoring AGE levels, discussing various biomarkers and testing techniques crucial for early detection and intervention.
Outline:
- Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) and their significance in human health.
- Understanding AGEs: Insights into how AGEs are formed in the body.
- Impact on the body: Relationship between AGEs and aging, and chronic diseases such as diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, and cardiovascular diseases, among others.
- Lifestyle factors contributing to AGE formation.
- Role of diet in AGE accumulation.

To kick off season two, I thought we would talk about one of my absolute favorite topics – glutathione. This is going to be a fabulous episode and one which will likely open your eyes in a big way! When I learned about this vitally important subject, it was a game changer. Today’s show was prompted by a question from Natalie. Natalie asked “I recently saw an ad for a supplement called glutathione and had never heard of it before. I have rheumatoid arthritis and have been struggling with chronic pain for years. Is this something I should try?” Thank you Natalie for your question. As a reminder, if you have an idea for or show, a question or comment – send me a DM, email, comment on a YouTube video and I will give you a shout out! Natalie I will do my best to provide you with science backed information so you will be informed and can then take this information back to your practitioner to see if this will be a good fit for you.

Friends – today marks the one year anniversary of this podcast. I cannot believe we’ve already put out 52 episodes, well, 52 after today! I am beyond appreciative for YOU! Each week, coming back, sending me DMs, emails – all the love. I am forever grateful. Today, as we dive into a thoroughly fascinating topic, I wanted to share a little more about me. Give you a glimpse into my life, my journey. I want to share some background as to why I went into healthcare in the first place… I have always been a right brain individual – theater, singing, painting, photography, writing…. When I made a sharp left, towards healthcare… left because this was going to require much more left brain than I was ever used to utilizing…. It came as a shock. To my family and my friends. At first glance, it seemed so out of character. The deeper I submerged myself into nursing, the more “right” it felt, guiding me throughout the 13 years I’ve been on this mission.

From friends, family, and many of my clients. How can we harness our inner motivation and accomplish the tasks, career change, life change?
