Dr. Drew, it's wonderful to be here. Thank you.

Dr. Drew, it's wonderful to be here. Thank you.

Yeah, that's absolutely right. And it's what's really exciting, Dr. Drew, is when we look at longevity and we cover in the book, like the seven must-haves of a longevity nutrient or really any molecule that can effectively slow our aging rate, stem and slow the onset of chronic diseases that kill us. And that's how we can not only live longer, but we can live healthier. So

And that's how we can not only live longer, but we can live healthier. So

We go through some of the top molecules on that longevity leaderboard, including things like rapamycin, metformin, and then how this new discovery of C15, right, this first essential fatty acid discovered in over 90 years that we've talked about, how it really has become not only the leading longevity nutrient, but the leading longevity molecule.

It provides a lot of hope and a lot of excitement in the field of longevity that we really can reverse the aging process. Lots of really smart people working on it and lots of hope.

Yeah, you know, a lot of, if you talk to us fellow longevity scientists, we all have our favorite doomsday reason for aging and what takes us out in the end. But, and agree with you, Dr. Drew, that lipid peroxidation, it's ironic that oxygen, right? This molecule that we can't survive without for three to seven minutes is the same molecule that in the end,

But, and agree with you, Dr. Drew, that lipid peroxidation, it's ironic that oxygen, right? This molecule that we can't survive without for three to seven minutes is the same molecule that in the end,

tacks our molecules in our cell membranes, breaks them down, leads to the aging process, and in the end, kills us. So we need, it's this balance that we have with the Jekyll and Hyde of oxygen. And we now know that the more stable the fatty acids in the cell membrane, especially C15, one of its essential roles is that it keeps our cell membranes stronger and

And we now know that the more stable the fatty acids in the cell membrane, especially C15, one of its essential roles is that it keeps our cell membranes stronger and

protects us against this lipid peroxidation, the attack of oxygen, and that prolongs life. There's actually a really cool theory that comes from A.J. Holbert, where he showed that the more stable and sturdy fatty acids in the cell membranes are, the longer a species lives.

So it's already, you know, nature has already figured this out, exactly what you said of how a human and a dolphin can live 20 to 30 times longer than a mouse. So let's not start by trying to figure out how to help mice live longer. Let's start by understanding how us long-lived species live a long time and then push and optimize that.

And so that's what we've been able to do with the Navy and C-15.

Yeah, that's right. And in fact, there was this discovery of a whole new form of cell death called varroptosis. And this was discovered by Columbia University researchers back in 2012. And that's where they found that when we went to medical school or took our cell biology class, we learned there were three ways our cells die. This group discovered a fourth.
