Someone needs to hear the real talk on glutathione cuz all these people are coming out with other forms of it. It's just why we're getting back to just very basics of glutathione. There may be some people here this is the first time that they've ever even heard of glutathione. Yeah. So I I do want to just mention a couple of those things.

0:16

Glutathione is the master antioxidant in our bodies. It is it's 2 million molecule to molecule 2 million times more aggressive, more grabby, more potent than vitamin C for example. 2 million times, meaning it'll go after an an

0:32

oxidant or a toxin or something 2 million times more aggressively than vitamin C will. It's an antioxidant that exists in almost every cell of your body as well as floating. You should you're in deep trouble. Yeah. Right along the the electron transport chain in the mitochondria.

0:48

Glutathione is one of the critical antioxidants for helping protect against the oxidative stress and damage that comes just from cellular respiration. That's right. Yeah. It's so using fancy words again. I can't follow the the number one symptom you're going to get with low glutathon is brain fog.

1:03

Yeah. Weirdly enough, they say it's not supposed to pass bloodb brain barrier. They're wrong. They're wrong on so many things. We know all this now from our work with it, our biotech work, our patent work. If our bodies are already making this and if it's so critical, why why do we

1:18

need it as a supple? Why do we sell it? Yeah. Because as we get older, we quit making enough of it. Because we get vitamin defic deficiencies or amino acid deficiencies like glutamine, stuff like that that prevents us or serarene or whatever that prevents us from making the glutathione. It's really just a

1:34

tripeptide. It's three amino acids bonded together and the and one of them has a sulfide group on it that that's the sticky part, the smelly part. That's the super molecular sticky part. It's the stickiest substance literally in your body. because they can grab

1:50

anything, metals, viruses, anything with that. So, white blood cells use it and grab things with it. They use it like a spear to grab whatever with it. So, this a white blood cell, this is the glutathione, the yellow thing, and it's going around floating around grabbing things that shouldn't be in your body.

2:06

And then the white blood cell takes to your kidneys or your liver or your your bowels, and out it goes. Yeah. So, that's how it works. Exactly. But you want it to work aggressively. You need it fresh. You need it reduced. A lot of people genetically have oxidation problems.

PURSER WELLNESSAutism Answered - Root Cause Solved with #1 Reviewed MD in the USAA conversation with Dr. Purser

Autism Answered - Root Cause Solved with #1 Reviewed MD in the USA

Hi, I’m Dr. Dan Purser. For too long, autism has been treated as a mystery with only symptom management. In this episode, I break down what I’ve seen consistently in practice: the real root cause behind many cases on the spectrum. It starts with genetic variants (especially MTHFR and related SNPs) that break the transsulfuration pathway. When kids can’t efficiently convert homocysteine into glutathione, they lose their ability to detox heavy metals and environmental toxins. The result is chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and developmental challenges. The good news? Once we identify these biochemical and genetic imbalances through proper testing, we can intervene at the root with targeted support — restoring methylation, rebuilding glutathione function, and giving the body what it needs to heal. This isn’t theory. It’s the Purser Method® in action. If you’re a parent searching for real answers instead of just labels, this episode is for you. The root cause has been solved. Now let’s talk solutions.

Understanding Your CMA with Redox Results: What Those Two Pages Actually Mean

Hi everyone, Jackson Larkin here from Purser Wellness. If you’ve had our Cellular Micronutrient Assay (CMA) with Redox testing, chances are you’ve looked at those two pages of results and thought, “Okay... now what does all this actually mean?” You’re not alone.
