Ep. 49 Douglas Mulhall: How Elastin Could Be the Key to Longevity, Heart Health, and Vision


Listen Later

Elastin might be the most important protein you've never heard of.

In this episode, bestselling author and health innovator Douglas Mulhall joins Uncommonly Remarkable to explain how this flexible, long-lasting fiber impacts everything from cardiovascular disease to glaucoma. You'll learn how elastin degradation contributes to aging, how hidden stressors like heavy metals and infections affect it, and what groundbreaking therapies are finally addressing it.

We dive into:

  • The immune response cascade triggered by elastin loss
  • The impact of elastin on optic nerves and intraocular pressure
  • Why current glaucoma treatments are only treating symptoms
  • Emerging therapies aimed at reversing artery calcification
  • How to find out if you're at risk
