Today, I have the honor of connecting with Dave Watumull, the Co-founder and CEO of AX3 Life, a consumer health company dedicated to astraxanthin products, education, and community. Dave is on a mission to introduce the world to astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is a marine-derived super-nutrient that supports whole-body health and longevity, a pursuit that has inspired Dave for over 25 years of research, development, and commercialization. In our discussion, Dave explains what astraxanthin is, its functions, and its key properties. We explore specific studies where astraxanthin has been particularly beneficial for lipids, particularly oxidized LDL. We discuss the impact of nutrition and examine the results of astraxanthin research on sarcopenia, cognition, and joints, liver, skin, and eye health. We also cover the dose-dependent effects of astraxanthin, and Dave answers a series of rapid-fire questions. Astaxanthin is truly a supplement worth considering. I’ll be taking it to see if it helps reduce my Lp(a). My husband and one of my children also have high Lp(a), so we will all try it as a family experiment, and I will share the results. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Astaxanthin’s origins and mechanisms The ideal dosing range for starting astaxanthin, and how the benefits appear even at lower doses What a dose-dependent effect actually means The importance of fundamentals like consistent sleep, a balanced, nutrient-dense diet, and daily physical activity How astaxanthin forms a protective antioxidant network The value of astaxanthin for supporting brain and ocular health How astaxanthin reduces inflammation without suppressing immunity The importance of taking astaxanthin with a meal to maximize absorption Why AX3 Astaxanthin surpasses other astaxanthin supplements If you are interested in checking out this supplement, they offered my community 20% off with code Cynthia20 ⁠ https://ax3.life/products/ax3-60-ct-premium-astaxanthin⁠ Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community: The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow  Cynthia’s Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!
