Beyond Mitochondrial Health: Can Urolithin A Slow Down Aging?

Beyond Mitochondrial Health: Can Urolithin A Slow Down Aging?

Author: Dr. Kara Fitzgerald November 16, 2023 Duration: 53:53
When it comes to mitochondrial health, few nutrients have burst onto the bioenergetics stage with quite the impressive force as the postbiotic rock star Urolithin A (UA). On this New Frontiers episode Dr. Chris Rinsch, co-founder of Amazentis / Timeline, shares the incredible scientific journey of UA's discovery and subsequent unfolding of its many benefits, as confirmed by multiple clinical studies. Together, we explore UA's mechanisms of action, including the role of the microbiome, and exciting preliminary research on UA's potential to reverse immune aging. Of course, our conversation wouldn't be complete without discussing the possible role UA may play in slowing down biological aging and extending healthspan - after all mitochondrial decline is one of the hallmarks of aging. Tune in and please leave us a review wherever you listen to New Frontiers. - DrKF Check out the Shownotes for the episode at https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/,
