In this episode of the Soberhead Podcast, Dr. Esra Çavuşoğlu, PhD welcomes Dr. Anurag Singh MD PhD. Dr. Anurag Singh MD PhD, physician scientist, immunologist, and chief medical officer of Timeline Nutrition. In this episode, Dr. Singh explains the science behind urolithin A, the key compound in Timeline Nutrition’s Mitopure, and why it has become such an important molecule in longevity research. He describes urolithin A as a postbiotic produced by the gut microbiome from compounds found in pomegranate, walnuts, and pecans but notes that most people do not produce enough of it naturally. Its main role is to support mitophagy, the process of clearing out damaged “zombie” mitochondria so healthier mitochondria can function more efficiently, improving cellular energy, muscle function, recovery, and potentially inflammation. The conversation focuses heavily on muscle aging, mitochondrial health, immune function, and healthy longevity. Dr. Singh shares that clinical trials have shown benefits in older adults, athletes, and midlife adults, including improvements in muscle endurance, strength, recovery, and inflammatory markers. He also discusses emerging research on the immune system, skin, and brain health, while emphasizing that urolithin A is not a magic pill but a science-backed foundational supplement that may work best alongside exercise, good nutrition, and other core longevity habits.#EsraÇavuşoğlu #AyıkKafa #ElevatingLifeEvolvingHealth #Longevilab #AnuragSinghDr. Anurag Singh, MD, PhD Website: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Anurag-Singh-89 Special thanks to T.C.
