About this episode
Can a molecule discovered in 1985 hold the key to longevity and brain health? In this episode, I have the privilege of speaking with Chris Burres, the Chief Science Officer at MyVitalC, about ESS60, an extraordinary molecule shown to support longevity, brain health, and mitochondrial function. Discovered in 1985 and awarded the Nobel Prize in 1996, ESS60, also known as carbon-60, is now being explored for its potential health benefits, particularly for neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.Chris shares the story behind the discovery of this molecule and why it has generated such excitement across different fields. ESS60 has demonstrated impressive results in animal studies, including a 90% increase in lifespan, and shows promise in reducing oxidative stress and supporting detoxification.We also discuss how ESS60 works in the body, particularly in relation to mitochondria, and why it could be a game-changer for brain health. From its antioxidant properties to its role in detoxification and mitochondrial repair, ESS60 could play a significant role in Alzheimer’s prevention.Don’t miss this deep dive into one of the most fascinating molecules in modern science—one that could shape the future of brain health and longevity.“Interestingly, the molecule (ESS60) is amazing. The reason it won the Nobel Prize is that it performs as well or better than the current best materials in almost every application.” ~ Chris BurresIn this Episode02:40 - The discovery of this amazing molecule03:48 - The longevity experiment: Wistar rats live 90% longer05:47 - ESS60 and why it’s safe for human consumption14:43 - How ESS60 is manufactured: Chris explains its characteristics22:15 - ESS60’s role in mitochondria and brain health29:27 - Safety considerations and dosage recommendations for ESS6036:14 - Testimonials: better sleep, energy, and mental focus with ESS6040:54 - Why olive oil is the ideal carrier for ESS6050:05 - Key takeaways from today’s episode52:00 - How often does Chris consume ESS60?Resources:- Top Supplements for Alzheimer's Guide - https://bit.ly/drjoshguide- Book: Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1501144316- Bulletproof Coffee by Dave Asprey - https://www.bulletproof.com/coffee/
