Chapter 1: What is glutathione and why is it important for health?
With over 20 years in the supplement industry, I have seen and heard it all. Empty promises, tricky marketing, wasted money, leaving so much left to be desired and creating feelings of resentment. Thankfully, I'm positive by nature and stay on the lookout for the next breakthrough product. And then I found Tonem.
a science-driven wellness company built on over a decade of research into natural solutions for metabolic and brain health. Tonem understands that it takes a mind and body connection to obtain full health alignment. With their featured products, Motus and Neuro, they address both aspects of this connection.
First, Motus, an all-natural supplement designed to support fat loss, metabolic function, and energy. Then, Neuro, a cognitive performance supplement designed to support focus, memory, and long-term brilliance. Tonem has brought back my trust in the supplement industry with natural, evidence-based ingredients that support long-term outcomes.
So because of this, I want to share them with the world. Use my code Dylan for an extra 10% off and start to treat your mind and body today with Tonem. All right, everybody, welcome back to the Dylan Gemelli podcast live on set. And my guest today is an expert in a variety of ways. And we're going to touch base on all that. He's mainly known for his
expansive work on glutathione, but there's so much more. And before I even get into that, I have been wanting this interview for such a long time and he didn't even know it when I got connected with him. But my first convention that I went to and sat in on, me and my wife were waiting for to see another speaker and happened to walk in and my guest was speaking and I was taking notes.

Chapter 2: How does glutathione aid in cellular repair and anti-aging?
I saved everything to Dropbox. Like, you don't know what I actually got into with you and how I've been looking forward to this. But I, you know, I was starting off. It was kind of the beginning of my podcast journey at the time and I was still kind of getting settled in. So, When your people reached out to me, I said, I'm moving everything else around. Get this man on my show.
And so I am so thankful that you came to see me. Just a little bit of background before we get rolling here. My guest is a sought after pharmacist. He's a wellness expert. He's a thought leader. He's been working with physicians since 1997, custom developing medications for their clients.
He just came out with an amazing book that we're going to get into and talk about, and it's called The Glutathione Revolution, Fight Disease, Slow Aging, and Increase Energy. He's globally regarded as the foremost go-to expert on absorbable forms of glutathione, and he's a currently licensed compounding pharmacist.
He does everything, but I am going to tell you, you are going to learn so much, and we are going to teach everybody today how to improve their quality of life in one of the greatest ways possible. I can't say enough about my guest today, Dr. Nayan Patel.

Chapter 3: What methods are available for delivering glutathione effectively?
And, you know, I told you a little bit off camera, but I had always been looking for a lot of the things that you were doing scientifically with which we're going to get into with your products. And I want to discuss, but I had been kind of fascinated with that mechanism of action and how it works. But I also knowing and being told so often, well, you can't do that.
You know, many times I heard you can't do that. You can't do that. And I'm, I'm, I'm the one that always says, yeah, you can. You just got to either find the right person, you or find the right way. So, you know, you've done amazing things. We're talking about it right now. And I said, you were a glutathione expert. So tell me first, why glutathione? Why did you decide to be an expert in that?
What is so intriguing and so special?
I wish there was some magic story, some Cinderella story behind that, but there is none, right? Because I was first hired to actually work on vitamin C. Right? And one of the doctors came to me and said, hey, can you work on vitamin C? And he has a patent on liposome technology. This is back in the 90s. Right?
Chapter 4: How do compounding pharmacies create high-quality glutathione products?
He comes to me and says, hey, can you make some liposome vitamin C? Because at that time, liposome technology was only available in the pharmaceutical side.
Right.
So we made the first liposome vitamin C back in the late 90s. Vitamin C, I made some CoQ10, some PQQ. And I told the doctors, hey, can you also make some glutathione? Oh, don't bother. It just smells awful, tastes bad. Don't bother doing that. Plus, if you have vitamin C, we don't need glutathione. We'll be fine. Right?
Wow.
Okay. Again, these are the doctors talking. And I said, okay. I still made it. I still made it, right? It was so cost prohibitive to launch a product back in the 90s. I mean, we're talking about vitamin C available for $2 or $3 for a bottle of 100, versus this would be costing you at least 80 to 90 bucks for 100.

Chapter 5: What role does glutathione play in sleep and brain health?
So it was like so cost prohibitive. Back then, 25 plus years ago, I said, okay, if... People will pay any amount if the results are earth shattering. Right. Right? I mean, look at today. There are some medications. If you can cure Hep C, it's costing you $100,000. Right. And people will pay $100,000 over three months if it cures Hep C. Right? That's only about 90 pills. Right? Think about it.
It's insane. It is insane. If the results are earth-shattering, people will pay the money. Of course they will. And so I said, okay, I want to figure out Glutathione. And the reason about Glutathione was simple because... There's not a single product in the world, not even one.
Chapter 6: How can glutathione improve overall wellness and longevity?
In fact, you can combine all the antioxidants in the world, combine every one of them, and glutathione by itself can outperform every one of them combined. Really? And when I realized that potential of glutathione, I said, it's insane if I don't work on it. But at that time, my brain was not fully developing.
I was still a... I think I was still a Neanderthal, a caveman kind of a thing, right, at that time. It was not fully developed yet. I was just still... I was looking for a shortcut. I was looking for an easy way out. I said, hey, maybe I'll just make liposomes and figure out how to get it into the system because liposomes works for the pharmaceuticals. It will be easy for me, right?
And I made it and I was not getting results I was expecting. I got results, but not everybody. I couldn't figure out why. I said, what's going on over here? I said, okay, forget about that. You know what the next best thing is? I'll just inject it straight into the bloodstream. How, I mean, once I get inside your bloodstream, my job is done, right?
So I did the first injectable glutathione back in the first 2000.
Chapter 7: What are the common misconceptions about glutathione supplementation?
Right? 2,000, maybe the injectable glutathione available to all the doctors in the United States. I said, hey, let's use it. They said, well, the half-life is too short. The results are not very good. So one of my doctor's friends from Vegas comes and says, hey, that's okay. My patients will be sleeping after having a heavy night of party. So I'll use all of them. So don't worry about it.
So I got my first client. In Vegas, getting a whole bunch of glutathione. But I knew it was short-lived. I couldn't figure out why. And then I started digging into more detailed work. The research was done in 1991. There was a study done where it showed that the glutathione would be given by IV. Everything would end up in the urine within 5 to 15 minutes. I said, okay.
It still worked a little bit. How did it work?
Chapter 8: How has the guest's personal experience shaped their views on glutathione?
Then the researchers later found out that after about 90 minutes to two hours later, they saw a rise of one of the amino acids in the bloodstream, which was cysteine. So the glutathione is made of three amino acids, glycine, glutamine, and cysteine. Cysteine got broken down and got into the bloodstream and later been used to make your own body's natural glutathione.
So the body was already making the product using the components from the glutathione that was broken down.
Makes sense.
I said, okay. Then why am I paying so much money?
Yeah.
Right? Why am I paying so much money? Yeah. Because as a pharmacist, the thing is, people don't realize. Everybody thinks the pharmacist makes all the money because the drugs are so expensive. No. The drugs are expensive because of the pharmaceutical company. It has nothing to do with the pharmacist. Pharmacists are always looking for the best cost-effective therapy for every client.
That's ingrained in our learnings. We're always looking for the best cost-effective treatments. If that means that you, if I could tell you, hey, if you can sleep better, you'll lose weight, I'm going to sleep better before I give you a GLP drug. Yeah, exactly. Right? We were talking earlier that, hey, by the way, when you lose fat,
The way the body gets rid of fat is through breathing carbon dioxide. That's right. So literally you can breathe out your fat. But if I tell you, if you just breathe properly, you lose weight. Oh, come on. Really? Tough sell. It's a tough sell. And people don't want to hear those kinds of things. It's okay. Then we'll give you some drugs and then we'll tell you what to do afterwards.
Anyway, so long story short. IVs were short-lived. The liposome, I could not figure out why it was not working. So I said, there has to be different technology. And every technology in the world existed that never enters the peptides, that the glutathione is a tripeptide. There's no technology in the world that existed at that point that can actually help peptides get into your system.
