In this episode of Save Yourself, Dr. Amy dive deep into the fascinating world of gut health, longevity, and the science behind Urolithin A with Dr. Singh. Dr. Singh is a renowned expert in internal medicine, trained in India, with further specialization in allergy and immunology from the University of Connecticut. Dr. Singh shares his journey from clinical practice to groundbreaking research, explaining the critical role of Urolithin A, a postbiotic derived from pomegranates, in promoting mitophagy— the cellular cleanup process essential for healthy aging. He discusses how only 30-40% of people naturally produce Urolithin A due to gut microbiome differences and the transformative potential of supplementation.
