#87 - Your Cellular Superhero? Glutathione's Secrets to Graceful Aging, Strong Immunity, and Boundless Energy
Want to know about a secret weapon you have to fight aging, disease, and inflammation? There’s an unsung hero quietly working within every last one of your cells.  
It's not just any defender; it's the most powerful antioxidant your body produces, tackling everything from DNA synthesis and immune support to detoxification. Beyond its role in graceful aging, Glutathione emerges as a key player in building immunity and fortifying your body's defenses against external threats. 
The true marvel of Glutathione lies in its potent ability to shield against free radicals. It safeguards cells from oxidative stress, promoting a youthful appearance and helping prevent age-related diseases.
In today's episode of the Pretty Well Podcast, we're shining a spotlight on Glutathione – your body's silent defender against the whirlwind of aging.
Join me as we unlock the wonders of glutathione and find out how to easily tap into your body's natural defenses to fuel your energy, enhance your vitality and help you to embrace a healthier, more vibrant life.

# 86 - Do You Find Yourself Eating Even When You're Not Hungry? Hint: It’s Not Your Willpower. Interview with Ali Shapiro
Why do I overeat when I’m not hungry? Is it willpower or something else? Here’s the tea…it’s something else. 
Deprivation and restriction lead to stress and falling off the wagon. In order to truly be successful with healthy eating and living, it is time to move away from rigid rules and the “all or nothing” mindset. Plus, it’s a lot more fun and freeing!
You can stop letting food control YOU and actually make the choices you really want. 
Join our incredible conversation with my guest, holistic nutritionist and integrated health coach, Ali Shapiro. Ali is the creator of Truce with Food and host of the Insatiable Podcast. 
Her own personal struggle with weight loss, emotional eating, binge eating, IBS, and chronic depression led her to discover functional medicine. She knew that treating the symptoms would not heal her relationship with food - she searched tirelessly and found the root cause. 
In this episode, Ali shares how she broke free from the mindset of deprivation and restriction and found freedom again. She gives amazing tools to get you on the right path - be sure to stay on for her TAIL acronym. You will LOVE this interview!
