211: Discovery of the Longevity Nutrient: C15 Part 1 with Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson

I am thrilled to have Stephanie Venn-Watson, a veterinary epidemiologist for the Navy, joining me for a delightful two-part series. I have always loved dolphins, and as it turns out, they have taught us a great deal about aging! Today, in Part 1, Dr. Venn-Watson introduces longevity molecules known as geroprotectors. She shares how she discovered C15 while studying Navy dolphins and explains why those with higher C15 levels have a longer health span than those with lower levels. This interview has convinced me that I needed to take C15, which is available in a supplement called Fatty15.
