<p>In this episode, Melissa sits down with Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, founder of Fatty15, to explore the keys to longevity, the importance of essential nutrients, and how to live a vibrant, purpose-driven life. Stephanie shares the fascinating story of how she accidentally discovered C15:0—the first essential fatty acid identified in over 90 years—through her groundbreaking work with Navy dolphins. Together, they dive into the science behind Fatty15, its powerful benefits (especially for those avoiding dairy), and how optimizing this nutrient can help restore our healthspan and give us more time and energy for the things we love most. The conversation goes beyond supplements, touching on the importance of letting go of rigid wellness labels, embracing moderation, and making healthy living more accessible and sustainable. Stephanie also unpacks why many common supplements—like gummies—may not be as effective as we think, and shares insights from her new book, <em>The Longevity Nutrient</em>, which simplifies complex science into actionable, everyday tools. If you're curious about cutting-edge health discoveries or looking to create a fuller, longer life without the overwhelm, this episode is a must-listen.</p><br><p>You can get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to <a href="http://fatty15.com/MWH15" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fatty15.com/MWH15</a> and using code MWH15 at checkout.</p><br><p>Follow us on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melissawoodtepperberg/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@melissawoodtepperberg</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melissawoodhealth/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@melissawoodhealth</a></p><br><p>Limited Time Offer: Use code movewithheart when you sign up for a monthly membership to get your first month FREE on <a href="http://melissawoodhealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">melissawoodhealth.com</a>.</p><hr><p> Hosted on Acast.
