A short YouTube monologue by Robert Whitfield MD explaining that strong smell sensitivity may indicate impaired glutathione (glutathionization) in the liver. The speaker links chronic/early-life exposures (secondhand smoke, groundwater arsenic, pesticides like atrazine and glyphosate, parabens, and mold toxins) to increased detoxification demand and suggests testing for these exposures.
If you're someone who is very sensitive to strong smells, perfumes, smoke, chemical odors, you probably have a limitation in glutathione utilization, and, I'm sorry, in glutathionization in your liver. So glutathione is something that binds with many of the chemicals that we are exposed to, and that that binding helps protect us from the chemical. Stay around secondhand smoke. You grew up in a household where people were smoking, but you didn't smoke. So you would constantly, constantly be exposed to smoke, and your body would have to detoxify that. So one of the things we want to highlight is everybody has a certain level of exposures over time and depending on where you, you know, lived when you grew up. So think of, like, the water where I grew up, there was a amount of arsenic in the groundwater. All of these things, like secondhand smoke, produces nace. Things like the atrazine and the glyphosates are all chemicals, as well as something that is probably commonly seen on reports. In addition to some mold toxins. I'm thinking of something like parabens. Do you think we should be testing for this? Because I sure do.
