The Unexpected Dolphin Discovery That May Hold the Key to Longevity | Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson

What if the key to aging well had been hiding in plain sight—inside
our cells, our food, and even… dolphins? That’s exactly what
Stephanie Venn-Watson, DVM, a veterinary epidemiologist, discovered
while studying dolphins in the U.S. Navy’s marine mammal program.
She found that some dolphins were aging significantly slower than
others, leading to the discovery of C15:0—a newly recognized
essential fatty acid that supports cellular health, fights
inflammation, and may even slow the aging process. In this episode
of The Dr. Hyman Show, we dive into: How studying dolphins led to
the discovery of C15:0 as the first essential fatty acid found in
90 years. Why a deficiency in this nutrient could be accelerating
aging and chronic disease. How C15:0 strengthens cell membranes,
reduces inflammation, and promotes longevity. The connection
between diet, metabolic health, and optimal aging. What you can do
to ensure you’re getting enough of this essential fatty acid. This
groundbreaking discovery could change how we think about nutrition
and longevity. View Show Notes From This Episode Get Free Weekly
