No Such Thing with Krysta Huber THE FYX 171: The Nutritional Deficiency You Don’t Know You Have & Why it’s Linked to Insulin Resistance, Type 2 Diabetes & Fatty Liver Disease with Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson
We all know about vitamin deficiencies like Vitamin C and Vitamin D, but there's a new one in town: and it's something we should all be paying attention to if we're concerned with our health--it's a fatty acid called C15, and its deficiency is linked to insulin resistance, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and type 2 diabetes. Our latest guest, Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson is an epidemiologist behind the discovery of this nutritional deficiency, and creator of fatty15, the C15 supplement you'll be sure to add to your routine after listening to this episode.
Dr. Stephanie is the CEO of Seraphina Therapeutics. A seasoned veterinary epidemiologist and public health scientist, Stephanie previously served at the World Health Organization and U.S. Navy. With a life-long mission of helping people (and our fellow animals) age better, Stephanie’s award-winning approach to improving human and animal health has been featured on NPR, BBC, CBS, and National Geographic. In her time as CEO, Seraphina Therapeutics has been recognized for its extensive research and education on pentadecanoic acid (C15:0)
Stephanie received her B.S. in Animal Physiology and Neuroscience from UC San Diego, D.V.M. from Tufts University, M.P.H. from Emory University, and was a National Research Council Associate with the Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center. She is an Albert Schweitzer Fellow for Life.
Fatty15 is a science-backed and award-winning C15:0 supplement to support our long-term health and wellness. A newly discovered essential fatty acid, C15:0 has 3-times more cellular benefits than omega-3s, critical to keeping our bodies healthy as we age. Two out of three customers report feeling benefits within 6 weeks, including healthier metabolism, lower anxiety and deeper sleep.
In this episode, Coach Krysta and Stephanie discuss:
- How and why C15 became a deficiency in our diets: specifically due to concerns around saturated fats and the widespread transition to low fat diets, and reduced dairy consumption in our diets
- Why C15 is more important than omega-3 fatty acids and the role they play in protecting our bodies against cellular fragility
- Understanding blue zones and how higher levels of C15 lower the risk for heart disease, as evidence by the Sardinian population
- Why adding more dairy back into your diet will not be enough to improve your C15 levels naturally
- How our food supply and food quality is to blame for our lowered levels of C15
- What the ideal levels of C15 are for us
