Fit Girl Magic | Healthy Living For Women Over 40
Magic makers, if you've been feeling "off" even though you're doing ALL the things, this Fit Girl Magic episode is for you. I sit down with Dr. Nayan Patel to talk about glutathione, the antioxidant your doctor probably never mentioned, but should have. Dr. Patel calls it the third most crucial element your body needs, right after air and water. Yeah, it's THAT important. Think of it as your body's built-in rust remover.
