Episode Details

If something claims to extend life by 90%… we need to slow down and ask better questions.

In this episode, Lisa sits down with Chris Burres, founder and chief scientist of MyVitalC, to explore the science behind ESS-60—a molecule linked to one of the longest longevity experiments in mammals.

Together, they unpack:

• What the research actually says (and doesn’t say)

• The role of mitochondria in aging

• The supplement industry’s biggest gaps

• What this means for women in perimenopause and menopause

This is a conversation about curiosity, caution, and critical thinking.

Key Takeaways:

• The ESS-60 molecule showed lifespan extension in rats—but human data is still emerging

• Aging is often linked to oxidative stress and inflammation

• Mitochondria play a central role in energy, hormones, and cellular health

• There is no single solution for menopause symptoms

• Lifestyle foundations still matter most: sleep, nutrition, movement, stress

   What We Discuss:

• The origin of ESS-60 and Nobel Prize research

• Longevity vs real-life quality of life

• Supplements: hype vs evidence

• Menopause, mitochondria, and hormone production

• Why “one solution fixes all” is a red flag

   Important Context:
