Is it possible to eat your way to a better mood? Can foods really impact how the brain makes you think and feel? The Happy Eating Podcast was created after we couldnt find the information that we needed for ourselves and our families. Join us as we break down the connection between food and mental wellness as we explore how food, diet, supplements, and daily habits can make for truly Happy Eating.

Glutathione and NAC—Worth It or Not?
Episode 375
Thursday, 19 March, 2026

If glutathione keeps popping up in your social feeds lately, you’re not imagining it. Glutathione is having a moment. In fact, one of our listeners wrote in and asked us to do a deep dive on this buzzy supplement. What exactly is glutathione? Do you actually need it—or is this just another wellness trend? And for those of you that have seen the supplement NAC (N-acetyl-cysteine) in your feed, you may be wondering if it’s better to take it to boost your body’s natural glutathione production instead. If you’ve been wondering whether glutathione or NAC deserve a spot in your supplement routine, this episode will help you decide.
