Most people think feeling tired, foggy, or inflamed is just part of getting older.

But what if the real problem isn’t your age, your schedule, or even your sleep…

What if it’s oxidative stress?

In this episode of the Kwik Brain podcast, I sit down with Dr. Nayan Patel, pharmacist, wellness expert, and one of the world’s leading authorities on glutathione, the body’s “master antioxidant,” to unpack why so many high performers hit a wall despite doing everything right.

We explore how glutathione supports detoxification, mitochondrial energy, immune resilience, and brain protection, and why levels begin declining after your mid-30s. Dr. Patel explains how oxidative stress affects the brain first, why inflammation is rising globally, and how restoring glutathione may help support clarity, recovery, and long-term cognitive performance.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

☑️ What glutathione actually is and why your body depends on it
☑️ Why oxidative stress accelerates brain aging
☑️ How inflammation and free radicals affect mental clarity
☑️ Why most oral glutathione supplements don’t reach your cells
☑️ The connection between ATP, mitochondrial energy, and fatigue
☑️ Why travel, stress, and intense training increase antioxidant demand
☑️ How supporting glutathione may help restore cellular resilience

If you feel like your energy crashes too fast, your focus drops under stress, or your recovery isn’t what it used to be, this episode may completely reframe how you think about brain optimization.
