Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson is back on the show, and this time, we’re going deep into the science of longevity. In this episode, we unpack the groundbreaking research behind C15:0, the first essential fatty acid discovered in over 90 years, and how it’s shifting everything we thought we knew about saturated fats, aging, and living longer well. We also talk about the launch of her new book, The Longevity Nutrient, and why this unassuming molecule might be the key to unlocking healthier aging, better mitochondrial function, deeper sleep, appetite regulation, and even improved dopamine levels.
We break down:
-
What C15 is (and why it matters)
-
The difference between lifespan and health span
-
Longevity molecules like rapamycin, metformin, and why C15 may outperform both
-
The longevity regulating pathway and what it means for your future
-
The real story behind saturated fats and how cellular fragility may be the result of decades of dietary misinformation
-
Why you might feel calmer, more satiated, and more energized within weeks of taking C15
If you're a biohacker, wellness lover, or just someone who wants to live better for longer—this episode is a must-listen.
