Summary

What if aging wasn’t something that just happens to us, but something we could actively influence at the cellular level? In this eye-opening episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi sits down with Chris Burres, co-founder of MyVitalC, to explore the breakthrough science behind ESS-60, a powerful molecule that may help slow aging and boost mitochondrial energy. Chris shares the fascinating story of how this compound came out of Nobel Prize-winning research and how it is now changing lives with improvements in sleep, inflammation, energy, brain clarity, and overall vitality. Together, Ben and Chris break down the research behind oxidative stress, HRV, inflammation markers like HS-CRP, and the surprising week-by-week results users are experiencing. This conversation is a deep dive into longevity science, metabolic resilience, and what is possible when we support our mitochondria — the tiny engines fueling every cell in the body. You will walk away inspired to rethink what aging means, support your body at the cellular level, and take steps toward living younger, longer. 🔗 Links and Resources 👉 Try MyVitalC (exclusive discount for Metabolic Freedom listeners): https://www.myvitalc.com/BenAzadi MyVitalC+1 Use code FREEDOM 🎧 Listen to Beyond The Norms Podcast with Chris Burris 📺 Watch the full interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/KetoKamp YouTube 📘 Book by Chris Burres: Live Longer & Better (available via MyVitalC site) Link to book mention: https://amzn.to/41pDF3R 🔎 Find all of the Metabolic Freedom Sponsorship deals and coupon codes here: ⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals

0:00.0	Just like any power source that you're familiar with, there's a negative byproduct, right?
0:04.7	You think about your car going down the road, it's got exhaust.
0:07.7	You think about a power plant, it's got smoke.
0:10.0	In the case of mitochondria, it's got reactive oxygen species.
0:13.2	The way I picture these are like little bumper cars.
0:15.9	If you left them to their own devices, they're smashing into things, causing rust,
0:20.4	oxidative stress, oxidative stress,
0:21.5	oxidative damage, and kind of ultimately inflamaging, right, that confluence of aging and inflammation.
0:26.8	So internal to the mitochondria, you have antioxidants to manage those reactive oxygen species.
0:32.5	Includothion and melatonin are the two main ones, and they manage those reactive oxygen species.
0:38.3	But what happens when you stress a mitochondria?
0:41.3	First off, how do you stress a mitochondria?
0:43.3	I like to point out, you're alive in this modern society.
0:46.3	You're stressed in it.
0:48.3	Whether it's with a hit workout or smoke, smog, tough emails.
0:52.3	Even things like artificial lights, yeah, everything. Things like artificial lights. Yeah. Everything.
0:54.5	Everything is stressing it.
0:55.5	Yeah.
1:09.1	The Greek definition for metabolism is to transform.
1:12.6	Your metabolism is designed to take food and to transform it into energy so you feel good and burn fat.
1:20.6	We are determined to deliver the science and art of metabolism to you.
1:24.6	We bring on the thought leaders in this space to have life-changing conversations
