Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the science of longevity with seasoned veterinary epidemiologist Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, CEO of Seraphina Therapeutics and founder of Fatty15. With a background spanning the World Health Organization and the U.S. Navy, Dr. Stephanie has dedicated her career to improving human and animal health.

She shares groundbreaking insights on pentadecanoic acid (C15)—a newly recognized essential fatty acid—and its role in supporting long-term wellness. We discuss the best dietary sources of C15, why it meets the seven criteria for a longevity nutrient, and how it impacts metabolic health, chronic disease, and overall aging. Plus, Dr. Stephanie reveals the fascinating research that started it all—studying dolphins!
