What happens when childhood health challenges become the foundation for a lifelong commitment to wellness? John Solleder's remarkable journey from wearing leg braces as a child to undergoing spinal surgery at 17 set him on an unexpected path toward becoming a health advocate, entrepreneur, and glutathione expert.
The turning point in John's story came when his mother received a cancer diagnosis in 1996. While seeking complementary approaches to support her treatment, he discovered a glutathione precursor with impressive scientific credentials - research that began in 1975 and eventually attracted the attention of Nobel Prize winner Dr. Luc Montagnier and Max Planck fellow Dr. Wolf Droge. This product, now backed by 91 patents, became the foundation of John's health business and a cornerstone of his personal wellness regimen.
But John's health journey extends far beyond supplements. After reaching over 300 pounds, a chance viewing of the documentary "Forks Over Knives" inspired him to experiment with plant-based eating. The immediate improvement he felt after just one day without meat products led him to gradually transition to a primarily raw vegan diet. An accidental fall into his cold pool during winter introduced him to the benefits of cold therapy, which he hasn't missed a day of practicing in five years.
Throughout our conversation, John emphasizes that evidence-based approaches to health don't need to be complicated or expensive. From resistance training with discarded cinder blocks to "micro-exercising" throughout the day, he advocates for accessible practices anyone can implement. His philosophy echoes Jack LaLane's wisdom: "Diet is king, exercise queen. Put them together, you build a kingdom."
Whether you're struggling with health challenges, looking to optimize your wellness routine, or simply curious about evidence-based approaches to longevity, John's story offers practical wisdom and inspiration for your own health journey. The information is out there - now it's up to you to use it.
