Katie: Hiya and welcome to this particular Halloween episode of the Wellness Mama Podcast the place we discuss in regards to the issues with an excessive amount of sugar and the advantages of glutathione, how each of these impression mind well being and a lot extra.
And I’m right here with a good friend of mine, Dr. Gina Nick, who’s the founding father of Apothicaire, which is a world, she’s additionally a world famend naturopathic doctor, researcher and formulator primarily based in California. I received to satisfy her not too long ago and we received to speak in depth about glutathione and a few actually enjoyable formulations that she’s engaged on creating which might be clinically studied to truly enhance ranges of necessary issues within the physique, particularly glutathione.
So we go deep on that. We speak about the actual cope with what’s happening with sugar consumption and why, particularly this time of 12 months, that is such an necessary matter to speak about the best way to guard towards and undo the harm of not simply sugar consumption, however publicity to different stressors on the physique as properly. And we simply get to have only a enjoyable dialog. And if you happen to’re watching this video, we’re each in Halloween costumes. If you happen to occur to test it out on YouTube or social, you may see that as properly. However please take pleasure in this quick and enjoyable and really informative dialog with Dr. Gina Nick. Dr. Gina, welcome. I’m so excited we get to talk right this moment.
Gina: I’m so excited to be chatting with you. Thanks for having me in your podcast.
Katie: Oh, it’s an honor. We received to satisfy in actual life not too long ago and I knew instantly I’d need to have you ever on the podcast and likewise simply be buddies with you. And for people who find themselves watching, I don’t know, lots of people simply pay attention, however the movies additionally make it to YouTube. So for anybody watching, we’re each in costume right this moment as a result of this episode is airing on Halloween. And I felt like a very nice leaping in level for a Halloween dialog was going to be to get on the soapbox somewhat about sugar as a result of actually sugar consumption ramps up not simply with Halloween, however this complete time of 12 months, type of like October by New Yr’s, is a large sugar consumption time.
And I do know you’ve executed a ton of analysis and labored with a ton of individuals on many areas of well being, however I believed let’s concentrate on sugar because the background level for leaping in right this moment. So to start out off, are you able to give us some primer in what’s happening with our sugar consumption and what’s going unsuitable with it?
Gina: So, lots of people, everyone is aware of sugar will not be good for you. Don’t give your youngsters sugar, however all of us do. Grandparents are infamous for giving their grandkids sugar. And also you suppose, properly, why? Like, why? Why is it so, why is that the norm? And sugar electrifies the mind and it prompts the opioid system within the mind and it offers you a excessive. It makes you’re feeling comfortable and good within the quick time period. You understand, and so in fact youngsters will affiliate hanging out with grandma and grandpa and feeling actually good. So what’s unsuitable with that? You understand, you suppose that’s fairly harmless and there’s no subject there.
The problem is long-term. We all know that an excessive amount of sugar, refined sugar, within the physique causes irritation within the mind. And causes long-term well being points that aren’t simply reversible, takes a very long time. And so moderately, sugar is, will be okay, however nowadays we eat extra sugar than ever earlier than. And there’s the World Well being Group will say, properly, about 25 grams of sugar a day is okay, however if you happen to have a look at one, a drink of Coke is 44 grams of sugar, you already know? And so, and you then multiply that out primarily based on what youngsters are literally consuming and consuming on a day-to-day foundation.
And you then deliver a vacation like Halloween into the image. And the common consumption for teenagers is three cups of sugar on Halloween. And that causes harm to the mind, simply as a healthcare practitioner will say, “straight up, we speak about how sugar can improve danger for coronary heart illness and decrease immune operate and so forth”. There isn’t loads of speak about what it truly is doing and the hurt it’s inflicting to creating baby’s mind. And so it’s, sugar will be extremely addictive and it could have an identical impression to medication.
Sugar is a drug. And we have to deal with it as such. And so, and nowadays, there’s one thing referred to as a Rainbow fentanyl. Have you ever heard of that? So Rainbow fentanyl is 50 instances stronger than heroin. 100 instances stronger than morphine. And it’s made to appear to be sweet. And so it’s been discovered, so much has been present in luggage of Skittles and Whoppers and Sweetarts. You understand, and so it’s a fairly severe state of affairs. That is occurring proper now. So we don’t, you already know, is there fentanyl in that bag of Skittles that our child is getting on Halloween and opening up and consuming, you already know?
And so I don’t need to be like Debbie Downer on Halloween trigger Halloween’s enjoyable and we get to dress up and look superb like Katie seems to be, you already know? And our youngsters get to have enjoyable and trick-or-treating or and that’s all very constructive. However it’s nearly, you already know, it’s a life or loss of life state of affairs. What if one among our youngsters opens up that bag of Skittles and there’s Rainbow fentanyl in there? Which is a really actual subject occurring right this moment. And so I simply really feel prefer it must be emphasised in mother and father.
We’re all so busy and there’s so many stresses in life. And we’re simply attempting to make our youngsters do properly in class and simply be comfortable and have enjoyable on a vacation like Halloween as a result of there may be a lot stress on the earth. And it’s only a time to chill out. However that is severe and our kids are in danger. So we have to discover different options to the place we are able to have a good time the vacation and it may be superb with out risking our youngsters’ well being, not solely from simply extra consumption of sugar on Halloween and post-Halloween right through Christmas, but in addition wanting on the danger of being uncovered to medication that may kill and so, it’s a severe subject.
I used to be some statistics about how a lot cash is spent on Halloween. $2.6 billion are spent within the US on buying sweet simply on Halloween. So it’s an enormous business. And so I’d love to speak about, and I do know you could have loads of options as a result of you could have many youngsters, on what to do, realistically, as a mother. How do you deal with it? Proper? And so I’d like to share a few of my ideas and listen to what yours are as properly.
Katie: Yeah. Nicely, and to your level, sadly, this isn’t simply an remoted day. It will be one factor if it had been really truly solely at some point a 12 months that youngsters had been consuming an insane quantity of sugar. It nonetheless wouldn’t be good for them, however a minimum of it will be an acute factor that their physique may hopefully course of and so they would possibly really feel actually dangerous for a few days, however it will be acute.
And as a substitute, this has develop into so pervasive in our society the place sugar is sort of a continuing with youngsters at birthday events, at college, wherever they sugar hits. And such as you mentioned with the statistics, I didn’t understand it was that prime of three cups of sugar on Halloween, however I do know I’ve seen various statistics of what number of actually lots of of kilos of sugar folks eat, every particular person eats in a given 12 months. And that’s actually staggering, particularly once we’re speaking about our youngsters, as a result of such as you mentioned, moderately, the physique has mechanisms for this the place we are able to deal with carbohydrates, however we now have these hyper-refined substances that didn’t used to exist in our food regimen that do work together with the physique as medication, even when the children hopefully should not encountering the way more harmful variations of medicine which might be hiding in sugar. However sugar by itself has a drug-like interplay with the mind, particularly in youngsters.
And from what I’ve learn, particularly once you mix it with issues like meals dyes, and particularly when it’s in huge quantities, and particularly when it’s in a creating mind, the impression is way, a lot greater. So I’d love to speak about some sensible methods. I do know you could have a daughter as properly and that you just’re in all probability like very cautious of guiding her in nice instructions with this whereas additionally not like iron fist limiting her life such that she creates forbidden issues with meals. And that’s one thing I take into consideration typically as properly. So I’ll share a few of mine additionally, however I’d love to listen to your methods for conserving the enjoyable of celebrations and holidays with out it all the time being targeted on sugar.
Gina: Yeah, properly for Halloween, I used to be speaking to Pedram of City Monk yesterday, and we each have a way of, and also you in all probability do too, the place for my daughter, she’ll deliver all of the sweet residence after which we’ll swap it out, and she or he’ll get to pick one thing actually superior that she needs. And I’m completely okay with that as a result of I do know the long-term impression that simply consuming that sugar that at some point has on her well being and wellbeing and now with the dangers of medicine, and so forth.
So I’ll simply do, we’ll do a swap out, so she’ll get one thing even higher than that bag of sweet. That’s a easy, simple factor. After I’m giving out treats for trick-or-treaters, I’ll simply do like I’ve these little cute pumpkins and so they’ll have little treats in there that aren’t sugar, like little spider rings and tattoos and momentary tattoos and issues like that, which might be enjoyable and I’ll pick some low sugar. There are some fairly good low sugar candies available on the market nowadays. We do stay in a time the place we have now much more choices than mother and father did 50 years in the past. And so I’ll intermix enjoyable toys with low sugar candies as properly.
After which one other factor I’ve been attempting to show my very own daughter and I attempted to show my sufferers to share with their youngsters is after they requested for that Twix sweet bar. Relatively than simply saying, Gabby, my daughter will say, “hey, can I’ve this?” And I’ll say, “properly, I need you to determine”. You understand, you’ve received me as a mother, so sure, you’re fairly properly educated on the impression of sugar and dyes and all of that, however you’re nonetheless a child. And you continue to have all of the affect of everyone else round you consuming this stuff. And so that you’re conscious of what it could do to your physique, however you additionally know moderately, it’s okay. It’s not going, you already know, it’s not that horrible.
And so I’m guiding her to determine for herself. What’s finest for her physique and actually begin to get in contact. She’s 11, so get in contact with what, what does she really feel is finest for her versus asking mother if she will be able to or can’t have it. So I’m placing the accountability again on her as a result of in the end we’re all answerable for our personal well being. And I’m attempting to convey that at a younger age. In order that that develops over time.
Katie: I feel that’s so necessary. Certainly one of my first rules with my youngsters is that they’re every their very own infinite autonomous being. And naturally, after they’re younger, we do need to be very hands-on with taking good care of them and make many selections for them after they’re particularly infants.
However I feel such as you defined so fantastically, at any time when we’re capable of give them the decision-making, to start with, they typically can shock us. As a result of they’re so able to understanding and making good choices and so they’re resilient. So in the event that they’re 90% of the time making nice decisions, it’s really not the tip of the world in the event that they select to eat that sweet from time to time. However I really feel like that mindset of them getting to select from an early age is so necessary as a result of we’re not all the time going to be there. And at some point they will be interacting with the world with out our recommendation and steerage on each resolution. And so the sooner they get to have possession of that call and actually like really feel the consequences and personal it themselves, I really feel like that’s such a wholesome framework for transferring into maturity too.
Gina: Yeah, yeah. I imply, youngsters are accountable. They’re in the end answerable for their, you already know, well being and wellbeing, or a minimum of that’s, you already know, we need to convey that to youngsters in order that ultimately that clicks. And so they do take, you already know, I want extra adults would take, really take accountability for their very own well being, you already know, and do their finest to remain related with their very own our bodies to determine what are the most effective meals to eat, how a lot sugar is okay or not okay for my physique and my mind, you already know, as a result of these issues change over time.
Katie: Yeah. And I feel there’s additionally worth like the way you do and I do as properly in not making something completely forbidden ever apart from in fact the issues we really do need to preserve them secure from. However as a foolish instance of that, I feel again to not being allowed to get my ears pierced till I used to be 13 after which wanting a second piercing and my mother and father wouldn’t let me. And so after I turned 18, I at one level had like 33 piercings as a result of it was a forbidden factor. And after I look again, I’m like, these didn’t even really feel good. It was onerous to sleep for like six months as a result of my ears had been swollen. Like I didn’t truly in all probability need these. They turned engaging as a result of they had been forbidden.
And so I’ve tried with my youngsters by no means to love even paint the image as like good and dangerous or forbidden or you may’t, however to similar to you to teach them about it and belief they are surely so able to understanding at such a younger age. We additionally do the change, which and commerce out for one thing that’s a not processed sugar different on Halloween.
And I feel actually the enjoyable of it typically is the time with buddies, the dressing up, the strolling round, which is definitely an important a part of Halloween in the event that they’re strolling round neighborhoods and getting some motion in. And likewise if it had been in a position in our personal communities to concentrate on these elements, like our neighborhood normally has like somewhat social gathering within the circle on the center of the neighborhood and there’s wholesome treats out like greens, fruits, protein sources, and the children all get to play and there’s music after which they stroll round and trick-or-treat. However the focus is the neighborhood, not the sugar. And I feel anytime we are able to construct that into that’s such a robust technique.
Gina: Yeah, that’s a more healthy strategy to get that prime, proper? Is having neighborhood and feeling related to 1 one other. I imply, that’s going to present you that, a real excessive versus the false excessive of taking in sugar and it electrifying your mind and you’re feeling nice for half-hour and you then crash. And you then’ve received this inflammatory course of occurring, which is what’s occurring, you already know?
And now, I imply, due to COVID, I imply, COVID actually triggered this subject of continual irritation within the physique and I see it on a regular basis in my observe. And I simply really feel like youngsters are much more susceptible to this irritation that’s occurring due to publicity to COVID and stresses in our world right this moment. And with their creating mind, that’s the place we actually do must be extra aware of what are they taking in that may activate a fair larger inflammatory response that may trigger issues like consideration deficit dysfunction, obsessive compulsive dysfunction, addictive behaviors past sugar. So yeah, emphasizing I’m an enormous proponent for encouraging neighborhood and connection, and since that’s what we’re missing nowadays. And actually is, it’s my fact that that actually is a crucial answer to treating a few of the well being situations that we’re seeing. In our nation, in our world.
Katie: I totally agree. And I feel the mind piece is so key as properly, as a result of I noticed one time mind scans of people that had been on loads of sugar, and so they had been similar to individuals who had been on cocaine due to the mind modifications that occurred within the mind. And so I feel actually, once more, the dose makes the poison, however when youngsters are chronically over consuming sugar, it’s affecting their brains.
It’s additionally affecting their livers. And we’re seeing the rise of issues like non-alcoholic fatty liver illness, even in youngsters. We’re in fact seeing continual well being situations on the rise throughout the board in all age teams. And so that is seemingly an more and more necessary downside and one which doesn’t seem to be we have now found out the best way to resolve as of but. So I like that you just’re educating on this and it seems to be such as you need to say one thing else too.
Gina: I’m simply occupied with the packaged meals which might be marketed to youngsters and the quantity of sugar that’s in them. And now we all know there’s, there’s over 264 alternative ways to say sugar on a label. Proper? So it may not simply the label, once you’re looking to buy meals on your youngsters and for your self, you may not see sugar on the label however doesn’t imply that sugar’s not in there. Excessive fructose corn syrup. There’s even issues like agave syrup, it’s nonetheless sugar. Proper. And so simply being conscious of the truth that most processed meals and packaged meals have some sugar in there, even when it’s not labeled as such, otherwise you don’t acknowledge the identify for it.
In order that simply getting, I feel now greater than ever, it’s necessary to get away as a lot as attainable from packaged and processed meals and simply actually get again to fundamentals complete meals, ideally regionally grown, simply transferring again in that path one step at a time. And it’s a kind of issues the place all of us have a lot on our plates nowadays, and it’s price profit evaluation, how value it’s it to place that effort in to assist my baby or youngsters transfer away from a excessive sugar food regimen. And that’s the place I’m saying it truly is value it for now and long run, in order that we have now clear pondering youngsters making choices in our world transferring ahead.
Katie: Completely. And on the mind well being aspect, particularly, I do know that you’ve got executed truly an entire lot of issues within the analysis aspect and the medical aspect and in actually researching not simply how sugar impacts our our bodies, however what number of, many issues do and discovering these cost-effective and cost-benefit evaluation options that may actually assist. And we received to bond as a result of we had been speaking about glutathione at a current occasion. And it looks as if there’s loads of knowledge right here as properly and simply how sugar will be dangerous to the mind. There are issues which might be phenomenal for the mind and for the physique in loads of methods. And I additionally love to focus on the half that even when somebody has had well being points previously or has over consumed sugar, the physique can also be extremely adaptable and resilient. And the wonder is it needs to maneuver towards therapeutic. So even if you happen to’ve skilled these issues, nearly all the time there’s issues you are able to do that may assist the physique then transfer in a constructive path and really feel higher and undo loads of that harm. So all is actually not misplaced, even when youngsters have eaten tons of sugar.
However I’d like to shift the dialog somewhat bit into options on a extra organic stage as properly and delve into a few of the work that you just’ve executed on this. I do know you even have some cool merchandise that give loads of the enjoyable expertise of one thing like a deal with, however with solely advantages. So speak about out of your analysis and your medical expertise, what are a few of the issues that we are able to do which might be supportive as soon as we keep away from the sugar?
Gina: Yeah, so one among my favourite components is glutathione. There are over 100,000 medical analysis research on the ability of glutathione to decrease irritation within the mind, assist with addictive sort behaviors, assist immune operate, detox the liver. You’re speaking about liver well being and sugar, stability hormone ranges. And so glutathione is, it’s thought of the mom of all antioxidants. So it helps to neutralize free radicals, toxins from the environment, from our meals, from consuming an excessive amount of sugar.
And so it’s one among, it’s referred to as a Tripeptide. So it’s only a mixture of three amino acids naturally occurring within the physique. However once we’re uncovered to loads of stress, and irritation and uncovered to viruses and micro organism and mould and all these points which might be up now, glutathione actually helps to counteract these issues in a pure manner and our physique’s demand for glutathione is larger now than ever earlier than.
And one of many issues I actually like about this ingredient is it crosses the blood-brain barrier. And so it has a profound impression on the mind. And the mind could be very delicate to toxins. It’s very delicate to sugar, it’s very delicate to medication, it’s very delicate to most to toxins, and there isn’t a excessive quantity of glutathione within the mind. So when your individual pure sources get depleted, it makes your mind much more susceptible to these toxins. And that’s the place introducing glutathione into your physique can have simply an unbelievable impact.
I’ve been utilizing it in my observe for over 20 years. And so I’m very captivated with this specific ingredient. And I’ve formulated dietary supplements for a really, very very long time. And when folks ask me if I can simply take one factor, I don’t need to take all these different issues, if I may simply take one factor, what would it not be? And that’s after I’ve actually sat down with that. It will be glutathione. That’s the, if I may solely, there’s loads of issues I’d advocate folks take, however it will be crucial.
And when it pertains to issues like Halloween and sugar consumption, glutathione is only a actual highly effective counter to that. And it’s so therapeutic to the physique. So once you’re speaking about how the physique has the flexibility to heal itself, your physique’s amazed. I imply, it’s superb. It’s all the time attempting to get again to a state of homeostasis or stability. And it is rather resilient. And so it doesn’t matter what the assaults have been or what number of unintelligent errors all of us make, proper? On the subject of our personal well being and wellbeing, that’s okay as a result of the physique’s all the time attempting to get again to stability.
So I’m a fan of give the physique what it wants. Give your physique what it wants so it could do its job and get you to the place you need to be. And so glutathione’s a kind of issues that I really feel is critical. To take, I like to recommend every day at a low dose to assist total well being and wellbeing. And simply, I imply, the leads to sufferers, it’s simply superb. It’s a really, very highly effective ingredient.
Katie: Yeah. Nicely, such as you mentioned too, all these issues like sugar, like publicity to toxins, no matter it could be, they’re an assault on the physique that may deplete loads of issues, however amongst them glutathione ranges. And I’ve all the time thought it’s humorous that we assume that like chilly and flu season, it’s similar to all these viruses simply go latent in the summertime after which they only wake again up within the winter. And likewise all of this stuff change in that season of the autumn, like we talked about even simply with sugar, the place we’re not getting as a lot daylight, sleep patterns change. And I’d guess glutathione ranges due to these are additionally down at the moment of 12 months.

They’ve now made a deal on Shark Tank, been featured in Forbes, and are bought at retailers everywhere in the nation. And so they’re most proud to have helped over 500,000 households get extra sleep.

This podcast is sponsored by LMNT. I’ve beloved this firm for hydration and for electrolytes, and that is one thing I eat nearly every single day and likewise give to my highschool youngsters who’re athletes and my youthful youngsters to assist preserve them hydrated within the sizzling local weather that we stay in and with as a lot exercise as we’re doing. And I’m excited to announce that LMNT has made grapefruit one among their everlasting choices! This was a seasonal taste and it was one among my favorites and now it’s out there on a regular basis, anytime of 12 months.
Right here’s the factor, optimum well being and hydration actually rely upon minerals.
Do you know that consuming an excessive amount of plain water with out adequately taking our mineral content material under consideration can truly trigger us to be much less hydrated, even when we’re consuming loads of water? And that’s why I’ve actually delved into the analysis round minerals and have made this a precedence for me. I feel that is extremely necessary for not simply hydration, however for mineral stability, together with sleep, together with train efficiency, together with a lot extra. LMNT has a number of taste choices for this, together with ones that my youngsters love like watermelon and grapefruit, additionally citrus, raspberry. They’ve an entire host of choices that will help you improve your mineral content material and your availability in a scrumptious manner. And you’ll try all of their choices and get a free pattern pack with any order by going to drinklmnt.com/wellnessmama.
And it looks as if a minimum of the research I’ve seen high stage, glutathione performs an enormous key in, in fact, mind well being, but in addition immune system well being. And so this time of 12 months, I really feel like that’s an particularly necessary focus.
I’d like to delve into the nuance of glutathione, as a result of maybe folks have heard about completely different types of glutathione or gotten a glutathione IV or suppose that it needs to be liposomal format. So I’d love so that you can unpack for us somewhat of the completely different types of glutathione and why an oral one will be actually, actually efficient over the long run.
Gina: Yeah, I’ve used all types of glutathione over time in my observe. And so there’s some controversy about the usage of, we’ll begin with IV, essentially the most, the place you’d get the best dose within the shortest period of time. And so with IV glutathione, there may be some controversy or query about once you’re taking that a lot glutathione in at one time, how a lot is really getting absorbed into the bloodstream, into the crimson blood cells, into the muscle tissue, into the mind, as a result of glutathione is below tight homeostatic management. So your physique’s actually sensible and it has these tight laws. If you happen to get an excessive amount of glutathione, your physique’s going to reject it. And if you happen to don’t have sufficient, you don’t have sufficient, you want extra. And so extra isn’t all the time higher. Despite the fact that glutathione is superb, you don’t want an excessive amount of to have an incredible impact on the physique. And so IV glutathione, in sure conditions I can see as beneficial, however not for the plenty and never frequently.
There’s additionally intramuscular injections of glutathione and I do these in my observe as properly. And once more, these are in sure conditions will be extremely efficient and beneficial. Not everyone needs to get a shot. They are often costly and never everyone wants them. And in order that’s one type.
After which with oral glutathione, it’s not all the time secure. So there’s a difficulty about if you happen to take glutathione in a capsule type, a powdered type, a liposomal type, how a lot of it’s actually getting absorbed. And so over time, what I’ve realized is likely one of the finest methods has been liposomal supply automobiles for glutathione. The problem is compliance. I couldn’t get my sufferers to remain on it. I couldn’t preserve taking it as a result of I didn’t, it simply didn’t style good to me. And most sufferers, it simply, the palatability isn’t there. And that’s been the primary subject.
And so throughout COVID, whereas I’m homeschooling and doing all of the issues and attempting to see sufferers and the whole lot, I used to be doing loads of analysis on glutathione and I used to be like, and I do know that glutathione prevents a extreme response to COVID and helps with irritation and all this stuff. And so I put collectively a components and it was nearly like divinely impressed as a result of it was proper off the bat. And I put this components collectively. I used to be working with an organization doing analysis on a specific type of glutathione. That’s an oral type and was confirmed to spice up blood ranges and crimson blood cell ranges, though it was an oral type, however not liposomal. So I took that ingredient, I created a components and the primary pattern got here in and it tasted superb. No sugar, very, very clear components, nevertheless it tastes nice.
And so I made a decision to place that right into a package deal that mimics sweet to counter in order that my very own baby would need to take it and it tastes good. And I do know that she’s getting the glutathione that her physique wants frequently. In order that was the beginning of this complete venture of making this product. I had it in capsule type already, however got here out with a powdered type that tastes actually good. And so right here we’re, launching it on Halloween.
