Welcome to my Bobby's podcast!

This episode is brought to you by Timeline Nutrition.

0:07.6

We've all heard of probiotics and probably also prebiotics, but have you heard of postbiotics?

0:13.2

Thanks to emerging research, I've been getting to experiment with these.

0:16.5

We know that maintaining muscle mass as we get older is critically important to longevity

and to enduring good health.

0:21.9

In fact, it is one of the biggest predictors of longevity and one of the reasons I lift

weights regularly and keep an eye on metrics like grip strength.

Postbiotics are the active nutrients that your body makes during digestion and they're

One major reason is that certain postbiotics support my topology or the flushing out

0:40.7

of old damaged mitochondria, which is really critical in the aging equation.

0:45.1

The best compound I found to support this is called uralithin A, and I was super intrigued

0:50.6

It's derived from pomegranate, but it's very hard, practically impossible, to eat or drink

0:55.2

But uralithin A is one of the first probiotics that we found to have major health benefits

1:02.8

and it's become available to all of us.

1:04.8

It upgrades your body's cellular power grid, giving your body the energy it needs to optimize,

1:09.7

and clinical studies have shown that 500 milligrams of uralithin A alone significantly increase

1:14.8

muscle strength and endurance with no other change in lifestyle.
