Longevity Nutrient: C15 Part 1 with Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson
Description
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.
Best Food Sources for C15:
- Dairy fat
- Fatty fish (Heads and skin)
