Glutathione - You Want It!
The most powerful anti-oxidant in your body is Glutathione. You want it and you can have it! I personally take NOW brand NAC 600mg with 50mcg Selenium daily with lots of water. This increases the total body glutathione; it is extremely inexpensive. It will cause some exhaustion and even headache the first week, by day 10 you will feel the difference! There are no known contraindications and tens of thousands of studies on this supplement prove safety and efficacy in an enormous array of illnesses both physical and mental. This has been an OTC supplement for decades, is critical for children with asthma, three years ago the current admin removed it from the counters to require a prescription, but the outcry was enormous and it is back available OTC and online.

Take a Day Off
One of the things I like to do personally is to take one day a week to put faith in my family - first. To unwind and relax; try to preemptively do some of your typical weekend work during this one day during the week. So that you can spend a restful, full day during the weekend with your family.

Gluten is a Lectin and an Antinutrient
Gluten is a lectin or what is understood as an antinutrient... a protein that causes inflammation. Modern grown wheat in particular is very high in gluten and can lead to serious belly issues and inflammatory diseases. You aren't celiac. You aren't allergic. You are just sensitive like 80% of humans. You can minimize gluten by either substituting for the Einkorn (low gluten content wheat) or by fermented breads (artisan and homemade sourdough) which decreases gluten content by virtue of bacterial fermentation.

See Your Doctor, Then Watch Videos!
Symptoms got you Googling like a private investigator or scrolling through social for a self-diagnosis? Just remember, the internet doesn't have a medical degree, and TikTok dances won't cure your bellyache! I get it, the temptation is real, but Dr. Google isn't your best medical advisor. Time for a reality check: Let's leave the diagnosis to the experts! Trust me, there's no social media substitute for a proper medical consultation. Schedule that appointment, see a real doctor, and sort out those symptoms with a credible MD!
