Longevity, Biohacking & Menopause: What Actually Holds Up? With Chris Burres

Listen Later

If something claims to extend life by 90%… we need to slow down and ask better questions.

In this episode, Lisa sits down with Chris Burres, founder and chief scientist of MyVitalC, to explore the science behind ESS-60—a molecule linked to one of the longest longevity experiments in mammals.

Together, they unpack:

  • What the research actually says (and doesn’t say)

  • The role of mitochondria in aging

  • The supplement industry’s biggest gaps

  • What this means for women in perimenopause and menopause

    This is a conversation about curiosity, caution, and critical thinking.

    Key Takeaways:

    • The ESS-60 molecule showed lifespan extension in rats—but human data is still emerging

    • Aging is often linked to oxidative stress and inflammation

    • Mitochondria play a central role in energy, hormones, and cellular health

    • There is no single solution for menopause symptoms

    • Lifestyle foundations still matter most: sleep, nutrition, movement, stress

       What We Discuss:

      • The origin of ESS-60 and Nobel Prize research

      • Longevity vs real-life quality of life

      • Supplements: hype vs evidence

      • Menopause, mitochondria, and hormone production

      • Why “one solution fixes all” is a red flag
