# 75 - Put the Brakes on Aging? There's a New Game in Town, Spermidine

The problem with aging is that you’re not dealing with just one new challenge. It seems that suddenly everything seems to start going in the wrong direction and it’s all at the same time. A little-known supplement that has been gaining in popularity, Spermidine, has been shown to help protect against age-related diseases, including heart disease and dementia. 

Interestingly, it’s also thought to improve autophagy, the process the body uses to clean out damaged cells and regenerate healthy, new cells. To hear more on autophagy, check out last week’s podcast!

Join me today as I unpack this little-known powerhouse and why it’s soaring in popularity.
