How To Reap The Anti-Inflammatory and Longevity Benefits Of Astaxanthin with David M. Watumull

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Mitopure,
Sunlighten, and Thrive Market. As we age, our body’s natural
antioxidant defenses slow down, driving chronic inflammation and
diminishing overall health.  To combat inflammaging,
scientists have been studying compounds that can reduce
inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. One such compound is
astaxanthin, a powerful, naturally occurring antioxidant with
profound anti-inflammatory health benefits. Today on The Doctor’s
Farmacy, I’m excited to talk to David M. Watumull all about
astaxanthin and how it helps to combat some of the key hallmarks of
aging—inflammaging, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell signaling.
David M. Watumull has more than twenty years of experience in
product development, commercialization, and business management
related to astaxanthin—a safe and powerful, naturally-occurring
anti-inflammatory—for human health. He is the co-founder and CEO of
AX3 Life, a consumer longevity company formed to help people be
their best selves longer. AX3 Life targets inflammaging—a core
hallmark of aging—at its source with AX3 bio-pure astaxanthin. He
is also the COO of Cardax, a life sciences business focused on
advancing pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications of
astaxanthin. This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health,
