This episode is brought to you by Blokes and Joi, Fatty 15, and Paleovalley. Join us as we explore the groundbreaking benefits of saturated fats, specifically focusing on odd-chain saturated fatty acids like C15. Our guest, military physician and co-founder of Seraphina Therapeutics, Eric Venn-Watson, sheds light on how C15 is essential for cellular health, longevity, and chronic disease prevention. Eric shares his expertise on why decades of avoiding saturated fats might have been misguided and how C15, the first essential fatty acid discovered in over 90 years, can strengthen cell membranes and improve health metrics such as energy, mood, and even sex drive. In this episode, you'll hear about the fascinating discovery that linked dolphin health studies to human metabolic diseases, revealing the crucial role of C15 in healthy aging. Eric explains how changes in agricultural practices and dietary preferences have led to widespread C15 deficiencies in human diets, potentially contributing to various health issues. We also explore the relationship between the endocannabinoid system and C15, highlighting its potential as a superior alternative to omega-3s in activating longevity pathways and promoting healthier aging.
