    C15:0 A Remarkable Fatty Acid | With Fatty15 Co-Founder Dr.Steph

    Dr Goel interviews Dr Steph about this remarkable C:15 fatty acid called Fatty 15 To get your 20% discount on Fatty15 click here In this fascinating conversation with Dr. Steph, we delve into the discovery of an essential fatty acid, C15:0 pentadecanoic acid, and its profound impact on health and aging! Dr. Steph shares about her journey in creating Fatty15, and how her research in the navy dolphin’s health led to the revelation that dolphins with higher levels of C15:0 experienced healthier aging, similar to humans. This odd-chain saturated fat, once overlooked due to a bias against all saturated fats, has shown to be crucial in preventing chronic inflammation, fatty liver disease, and potentially Alzheimer's disease. While the primary source of C15:0 for humans is whole dairy fat, the conversation also touches on the implications for vegans and the need for supplementation. Furthermore, C15:0's role in cellular integrity and its potential to combat various diseases, including cancer, is discussed. The interview also explores the upcoming availability of at-home C15:0 tests and the importance of maintaining adequate levels for overall health. Dr. Steph highlights the ongoing research into C15:0's benefits for brain health and its potential applications in canine longevity. The discussion concludes with an emphasis on the importance of this fatty acid, not just for humans but for our mammalian counterparts as well.
