So why don't more chiropractors practice whole body remedies?The rising tide of centuries-old remedies is here to stay, and there should be a therapy on every corner of every streetHow alcohol consumption is on the decline, which is good news for our health, but now people need a new experience to go have funRESOURCES:https://www.remedyplace.com/@remedyplace************************************************Big news: I wrote a book!

81. Longevity Lessons From Dolphins + Pecorino cheese, with Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson (00:57:47)
Is removing dairy fat from our diets the culprit behind why we are now living sicker than we were in the 1990s? And what do dolphins have to do with human longevity? Fair questions.A new supplement called Fatty15 may have been on your radar recently, there's a good reason to pay attention. It’s a groundbreaking product of pure C15:0, the first essential fatty acid to be found in almost 100 years, and said to be the key nutrient for longevity. And my guest today discovered it!Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson is a veterinary epidemiologist with over 80 peer-reviewed scientific publications and 70 patents. She discovered the health benefits of C15:0 while working for the US Navy to continually improve the long-term health of Navy bottlenose dolphins. While seeking to understand why some dolphins were aging at healthier and slower rates than others, she was able to identify which molecules predicted the healthiest aging dolphins, and discovered C15:0 as a healthy saturated fatty acid, the first essential fatty acid to be found in almost 100 years and the key to human longevity, which she details in her new book, The Longevity Nutrient.We Discuss:The humanitarian role of dolphins in the US.
