Shownotes Transcript

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)
