So the same molecule that we need to live, right? We can't live without oxygen is in the end over decades and decades of time ends up being the same molecule that takes us down. Over, you know, with aging. So the whole excitement around the discovery of C15 is that it is a saturated fat, which we typically think of as bad.

Over, you know, with aging. So the whole excitement around the discovery of C15 is that it is a saturated fat, which we typically think of as bad.
But the end of these types of saturated fats called odd chain saturated fatty acids. They have no double bonds and they're, you know, what we're talking about, anti-inflammatory directly. But more importantly, just like you're talking about, Dr. Drew, is with no double bonds, they serve as a sturdy fatty acids that support our cell membrane, protect them from becoming fragile.

And that allows our cells and our cells to To last longer. It's the key to longevity that helps explain how humans and dolphins live longer than mice in the first place. We're just basically protected against this lipid peroxidation complex.

So talk about that a little bit. Yeah, so when our mitochondria aren't working well, which we all are the powerhouses of our cells, They have a Jekyll and Hyde personality. So mitochondria typically are good and they produce energy for our cell. But when they turn bad, they will actually produce reactive oxygen species. These toxic oxygen species that you're talking about, Dr. Drew.

And when that happens, that actually takes down the whole cell. combines lipid peroxidation, and it creates actually an entirely new form of cell death called veroptosis.

So there's like a lot of new science that is coming out that's helping us understand the importance of things like C15 to keep ourselves strong and fight off this syndrome, this nutritional deficiency syndrome, which is causing an entirely new form of cell death that's accelerating our aging.

Well, as you know, the book's chock full of all the different ways that C-15 positively impacts our longevity. Dr. Nick Shork, who's head of NIH's Longevity Consortium, he's been doing that for 15 years. In that position, he's been able to see anything and everything that's been put up as a candidate for longevity. And just like you're saying, Dr. Drew, Nick is saying the same thing.

He's just like he has not seen any other molecule that has the breadth of data to support longevity better than C15. And the nice thing of it is it's just it's an essential nutrient we've been meant to have all along. Every baby gets it at birth. Every baby mammal gets it at birth because it's in milk fat.

And so when we took it out of our diets and we removed whole fat milk, we've actually created deficiencies, which is where the syndrome is believed to be present in as many as one in three of us and why younger and younger people are developing older people diseases. They're getting hypertension, high cholesterol, fatty liver disease, coronary heart disease, specific types of cancers.

You know, we keep hearing in the news, why are younger people getting these diseases?
