108. Dr. Melissa Cano: Spermidine Benefits in Foods Supplements + The Science You Need to Know


Listen Later

What if the brain fog, restless nights, creeping weight changes, or that tired-all-the-time feeling weren’t just “getting older”, but a clue your body’s clean-up system isn’t working as well as it should?

In this episode of The Well Drop, I sit down with Dr. Melissa Cano, Director of Science at spermidineLIFE®, to discuss one of the most fascinating discoveries in longevity: spermidine. We explore how this natural compound, found abundantly in wheat germ extract, works as your body’s spring cleaning crew by activating the cellular clean-up process that keeps energy, hormones, and metabolism humming.

We also break down why spermidine supplementation becomes more important in midlife, how it supports women through mid-life, and what to look for in a quality product. You’ll also learn how to stack this simple daily habit with daily practices and why it’s a powerful tool for true healthy aging.

Dr. Melissa Cano, Ph.D., is the Director of Science at spermidineLIFE® by Longevity Labs. With a background in molecular biology and biochemistry, her published research spans photosynthesis, gene editing, and cellular longevity.
