When Your Own Profession Fails You
Here's the ironic part: I'm a doctor.
I spent years studying human physiology. I understand how the body works. I should have seen this coming.
But when I finally ran every test I could think of—thyroid panel, complete metabolic panel, vitamin levels, hormone levels—everything came back "normal."
My physician colleagues said exactly what I would have said to a patient: "You're getting older. This is just part of the aging process. Maybe try exercising more. Getting more sleep. Reducing stress."
I wanted to scream.
I was exercising. I was sleeping. I was doing everything "right."
And I was still falling apart.
That's when I started digging into research that we don't typically learn in medical school. Research about oxidative stress. Cellular aging. Mitochondrial dysfunction.
And that's when I discovered glutathione.
