After returning from my trip this week to travel to the Functional Cranial Release Research Institute in Florida for my first FCR treatment to naturally conquer debilitating symptoms my rare neurological disorder of over 20 years, palatal brachial myoclonus, I’m now completing a 5 day follow up glutathione heavy metal detoxification process this week to further improve not only my condition, but my overall human body function.

Part of my healing work & choice to do FCR is about delivering more oxygen to my brain and central nervous system (CNS) to allow my CNS to heal naturally and improve its function on its own, as the body is so brilliantly built to do, instead of focusing solely on the lesion in my brain which causes my movement disorder which is the dead-end approach traditional Doctors have taken with my body for years which has gotten me nowhere.

Anytime you can delivery more nutrients via blood and oxygen throughout the bodies systems, you are opening a door to natural healing and improvements by allowing the body to regenerate itself cellularly, which it is fully capable of doing.

This is a primary concept of natural healing & living in a human body that many do not comprehend or understand — the body you live in is constantly regenerating itself celluarly.

That is part of what comprises your resting metabolic rate. But ONLY if you give it the right tools to do so & assist the natural integrated systems through your own daily actions that manage these regeneration processes!

Glutathione

Whether it’s movement, holistic nutrition choices, managing your environment, or adding in advanced holistic approaches that maximize, heal & employ these natural systemic processes, there is a ton that you can do to improve your quality of health & life naturally, & these are the new human body mindset & skills we focus on sharing with others, because it’s truly the only way we canimprove & extend our own lifespan naturally, and turn the world tide away from needless drugs, illness, and surgery to take our health power back.

There are currently over 76,000 research articles that speak to the power of glutathione as a major player in holistic human body health, disease prevention, and optimal human body function & performance.

One of the core components You & Improved Coaching supports others in understanding for improved human body fat loss, fitness, & performance, is implementing evolved holistic human body thinking & strategies that are realistic & effective to conquer the human body stressors our body organism is under in today’s world, as our environment continues to shift.

This includes, but isn’t limited to, advanced detoxification strategies to improve and employ strengthened auto immune system function of the human body.

What is Glutathione & Who Is It For

Glutathione is comprised of 3 amino acids – cysteine, glycine & glutamine– it is a powerful anti-oxidant & detoxifier. Your body produces it naturally, but unfortunately in today’s stressful world our bodies are being pummeled with aging, toxins, chemicals, lack of movement, technology, nutrient-deficient nutrition, pesticides, pollutants, medications, environmental radiation, microwaves, x-rays, wi-fi, illness, dental mercury fillings & other heavy metal toxins in the body, etc. AND THE LIST GOES ON… all significantly deplete the bodies natural glutathione levels & immune strength by overwhelming the bodies oxidative stress & toxic load.

Heavy metals & toxins also build up in the human body organism over the years cumulatively, that many years ago our bodies simply were not subject to, and definitely not at the alarming levels of today.

Over time, this weakens the liver and doesn’t allow it to do it’s natural detoxification job, because the workload becomes too much & this correlates to glutathione deficiency. Glutathione levels are critical to conquer and prevent disease and maintain optimal health & human body performance.

Ultimately, glutathione is for everyone who lives in a human body, but particularly powerful for someone fighting any form of imbalance currently as noted here in our article.

Why is Glutathione Beneficial

It’s the mother of detoxification as it enters the blood, brain and other areas & sucks toxins out that have embedded in your bodies cells. The power is in the sulfur component, to which the toxins stick to like fly paper. The only time it cannot be used to strengthen immune function is with a cancer patient undergoing chemo, as glutathione identifies the chemo as an enemy (toxin) and attaches and removes it from the body, when the chemo at that point is intentionally to try to attack and kill the cancer.

It also recycles antioxidants in the body & helps the body deal with free radicals.

Important to understand, when the body becomes overwhelmed with oxidative stress and/or toxins, numerous illnesses and auto immune conditions result – chronic fatigue, chronic skin conditions, neurological dysfunction such as Parkinson’s Disease, auto immune illnesses, thyroid & endocrine system dysfunction, metabolic dysfunction & weight gain, poor clarity & mood / foggy thinking, poor recovery time from exercise, and so on.

Maintaining optimal glutathione levels counters all of the above.

An intense method and delivery of glutathione for more critical health states will actually produce increased weakened immunity and feelings of sickness for a few days as you go through the detox process & the toxins pass systemically through your body, and are removed by your GI tract & out through your bile & waste.

3 Ways To I Boost My Glutathione Naturally?

1. Consume Sulfur containing foods – garlic, onions, cruciferous vegetables – kale, brocolli, watercress are just a few; If you’d like creative, tasteful ways to enjoy glutathione boosting foods, check out our original recipes You & Improved Coaching comprehensive cookbook… where almost every recipe contains a glutathione boosting component
2. Exercise – 30 mins minimum per day of cardiovascular engaging movement & 3-4x/week strength training boosts gluathione levels naturally; important to note intense and/or “over training” naturally depletes glutathione levels… so athletes can benefit from considering even further gluthathione to counter the bio-individual demands they place on their body
3. Supplementation – important to note most consumer supplement production is not controlled & poorly done, so absorption and utilization are sub-par; this is why we only provide our clients with our own nutraceutical practitioner grade supplements, and the difference in the results is tremendously powerful – we will be shortly launching our own nutraceutical practitioner grade supplements on our website – these are supplements that only a holistic health practitioner like myself, or ND’s, DC’s, DO’s have access too to support others, so be sure to not assume that any professional claiming they’re selling nutraceuticals truly are – many professionals in the fitness & nutrition industry are unable to access high quality tested & produced non-retail products, but will state they are selling nutraceuticals – supplement production & quality is critical to results
