The high-tech world of biohacking often focuses on physical factors for longevity, like supplements and cold plunges. However, author and biohacker Tony Wrighton suggests that mindset plays a more significant role. Drawing from his experience in behavior change and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), Tony reveals that our beliefs about aging may impact lifespan more than diet or exercise. A Yale University study supports this idea, showing that individuals with a negative mindset towards aging live 7.5 years shorter than those with a positive outlook. This effect is more detrimental than...

info_outlineDr. Nayan Patel is a pharmacist and wellness expert who has worked with physicians to develop custom medications and personalized drug and nutrition plans for patients. He has been the pharmacist of choice for celebrities, CEOs, and even fellow physicians. Dr. Patel recently wrote a book about glutathione. After years of research on glutathione, Dr. Patel and his team developed a patented technology for topical glutathione delivery. This led to the creation of a skincare line designed for efficient and effective antioxidant delivery.
Glutathione Helps Detoxify the Body
Glutathione is a crucial molecule for human health. It plays a vital role in detoxification and neutralizing harmful toxins. It acts as the body's primary defense against oxidative stress, a major contributor to various chronic diseases. Dr. Patel emphasizes the importance of shifting focus from merely extending lifespan to improving health span. This means striving to live longer while maintaining good health and avoiding chronic illnesses.
Dr. Patel’s Glutathione Breakthrough
Despite the availability of numerous glutathione products, many fail to deliver noticeable benefits due to scientific and regulatory constraints. There is a medically approved treatment for raising glutathione levels that is primarily used to counteract Tylenol toxicity. Conventional methods like IV administration, liposomal delivery, and nasal sprays have proven ineffective for long-term optimization.
Dr. Patel dedicated years to exploring different delivery methods before achieving a breakthrough. He successfully developed a stable, water-soluble glutathione molecule. This innovative formula, perfected after years of rigorous trials, can be stored at room temperature and is readily absorbed by the body. Dr. Patel published his book and launched his product, though its widespread adoption was delayed.
Glutathione Multiple Health Benefits
Glutathione acts as an energy-saving molecule, helping to conserve molecules that are essential for vital functions like protein production, detoxification, and overall health maintenance. Dr. Patel's research indicates that maintaining youthful levels of glutathione can lead to several benefits:
-
Reduced oxidative stress
-
Improved detoxification
-
Potential prevention or delay of chronic diseases
Athletes have reported experiencing improvements shortly after using Dr. Patel's topical glutathione spray. This delivery method directly introduces glutathione into the cells, aiding the body in balancing oxidative stress levels and sustaining energy over time.

Why glutathione is crucial for health and longevity
