Have you ever wondered why so many of us feel like we’re running on empty—despite eating clean, exercising, and prioritizing our wellness? It’s that frustrating gap between doing "all the right things" and still feeling off, with brain fog, low energy, or restless sleep creeping in.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, a veterinary epidemiologist and co-founder of Fatty15, to explore a groundbreaking discovery that’s reshaping how we think about fats and cellular health. What if one specific nutrient—C15:0—could strengthen our cells, slow down aging, and restore balance in ways we never imagined? And here’s the wild part: this research started with dolphins and led to one of the most exciting longevity breakthroughs in decades.
We’ll unpack how C15:0 became known as the "missing piece" in modern nutrition, why it’s essential for everything from gut health to brain function, and how small shifts—like adding the right type of fat back into your routine—can have a huge impact on how you feel.
If you’ve been feeling stuck in the cycle of fatigue and “quick-fix” health trends, this conversation is your invitation to break free, simplify, and tune into what your body really needs.
Let’s dive in!
