In this episode, we explore the science of longevity with seasoned veterinary epidemiologist Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, CEO of Seraphina Therapeutics and founder of Fatty15. With a background spanning the World Health Organization and the U.S. Navy, Dr. Stephanie has dedicated her career to improving human and animal health.

We discuss the best dietary sources of C15, why it meets the seven criteria for a longevity nutrient, and how it impacts metabolic health, chronic disease, and overall aging.
