Dave Asprey talks with Nayen Patel, founder of Gluterol, about glutathione and how topical application affects skin health, detoxification, and energy. They discuss why this molecule matters for your body's ability to repair itself.
I gotta ask you something else.
Yep.
Now, I heard about this first from Korea, which is the world of the most amazing skincare stuff. They always come up with, you know, snail serums and all kinds of things, but butthole bleaching?
Uh huh.
Do you know about this?
Yep.
So people have been using glutathione in doctor's offices to lighten your butthole. Now I can say I don't know the color of my butthole. I don't understand, you know, the, the need for this, but apparently it's popular. Will this bleach my butthole? You're listening to the Human Upgrade with Dave Asprey. Today is a special Upgrade Spotlight where I bring you a scientist and creator who's made something new and interesting and worth your time. You may have heard me talk over the last dozen or so years of biohacking about this compound called glutathione. In fact, back when I weighed a lot more than I do now, and I was having really bad brain fog from toxic mold and chronic fatigue, I took the first commercially available glutathione product which tasted really bad. But it did help me, and it's something that I've taught millions of people to pay attention to, is how do you get glutathione into the body? And when I was at Bulletproof, we even made a capsule that could raise levels a little bit. The problem is it gets digested in the stomach and it doesn't absorb very well. And you want glutathione because it's a master antioxidant. So what I did for you today is I've got a master of glutathione here for you. His name is Nayen Patel and he's the founder of gluterol. And this is stuff that you put it on your skin and it works better than an IV at getting glutathione into your cells, so it saves you a ton of money. But this, this guy knows everything about what's going on with topical absorption of things. So we're going to go deep on that for you. You're going to learn the role of glutathione and what other things you can do with this transdermal technology, especially on your face. The reason I'm into this right now, I've always been a glutathione fanboy, but you might have noticed I used to weigh 300 pounds. I'm 4.8 body fat right now. And I get to show off my tattoo, the caffeine tattoo. But like, I'M completely cut in a way that I've never been. This is, like, competition level. If I was into that, and I'm not really trying to do that. Problem is, I have enough skin for a fat person on my face, and I don't like it. So I'm like, how do I make my skin tighter and how do I increase subcutaneous fat and how do I just manage the toxins of flying all the time? So we've got the world's best guy for this. Welcome to the show, Nan.
Well, thank you for having me today. I appreciate your time and what you've been doing, so I'm a big fan of you. So I'm glad I'm here today with you.
All right, this is your second time on the show, and we're going to repeat a couple questions for new listeners, but for the most part, we're going to talk about new things that people don't know.
Okay?
All right. RO Wellness makes gluterol. Gluterol, gluterol, gluterol. This stuff is ridiculous. You spray it on and you've got clinical studies that show it raises glutathione in the cells. Why do I care?
So your body has no receptors to actually accept glutathione, or for that matter, any kind of peptides or anything else into your cells inside your body can take the peptides, break it down, absorb the amino acids, and use it up inside the body. But there's no receptors to accept in full.
