Summary
In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, I’ve invited two experts who know a lot about plants and how plants interact with our cell biology. We discuss the exciting new discovery of a molecule called Urolithin A that’s a breakthrough in mitochondrial health. Urolithin A promotes mitochondrial function, muscle strength and longevity.
Navindra Seeram, Ph.D., is professor and chair of the Department of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Rhode Island and is one of the most highly cited scientists in Agricultural Sciences.
With a background in cell and molecular biology, biomedical engineering and engineering, Chris Rinsch, Ph.D., has been immersed in the biotech and life sciences industry for more than two decades.
Our conversation centers on Mitopure™, the first clinically tested Urolithin A available through Timeline Nutrition.
One of the most important things Urolithin A does is revitalize the energy factories inside our cells. Each of our cells contain mitochondria, and the cell has an innate process of cleaning up the damaged mitochondria and recycling them. This process is called mitophagy. Urolithin A supports cellular health by stimulating mitophagy to keep cells fit and running efficiently.
“It's really important to keep your mitochondria at its peak performance,” Chris says, “no matter what your general health conditions are.”
Urolithin A is generated by the gut microflora as a natural food metabolite of ellagitannins, a class of compounds found in the pomegranate and other fruits, nuts and tea. Their studies have shown some pretty amazing results.
“We saw that when we started incubating and feeding worms with Urolithin A they were increasing their lifespan by about 50 percent,” Chris says. “And when the studies moved to mice, they ran 40 percent further and longer after taking the Urolithin A.”
Listen on to find out more about how Urolithin A is such a breakthrough for mitochondrial health and how it’s a game changer for cellular nutrition.

| 0:00.0 | For more than 10 years, I have been looking at ketones and mitochondria, and it's very clear that ketones can give your mitochondria superpowers. |
| 0:08.8 | In fact, I've written about it in a couple of my books. It's in the bulletproof diet. It's in fast this way, and actually the other ones too. |
| 0:16.0 | You don't always have to be in ketosis, but when you turn on your ketones, especially at high levels for brief periods, magic can happen. |
| 0:23.0 | We're talking better energy, better focus, better endurance, even better hydration. |
| 0:28.0 | I've been working with a company called HealthVia Modern Nutrition, or HVMN, that created ketone IQ, a daily ketone supplement drink. |
| 0:37.0 | Does have any sugar or stimulants? It's just clean energy for better physical and cognitive performance. |
| 0:43.0 | I feel the difference if I'm meditating, if I'm doing neurofeedback, if I'm working out, or just what I need extra energy to do something really intense. |

| 1:04.0 | Bulletproof radio, a state of high performance. |
| 1:09.0 | You're listening to Bulletproof radio with Dave Asprey. |
| 1:13.0 | Today is going to be a really fun show, because we're going to talk about EuroLith and A. |
| 1:18.0 | Okay, maybe you don't think it'll be fun, but trust me, it will. |
| 1:22.0 | Because there is a huge amount of new knowledge from two experts who know a lot about plants and how plants interact with our cell biology. |
| 1:31.0 | The first of the two has a background in cell and molecular biology, biomedical engineering. His name is Chris Rinch. He's a PhD. |
| 1:40.0 | 20 years of experience. |
| 1:41.0 | His original publications that have been published in science journals about EuroLith and A. This stuff affects muscle function, cells, and mitochondria. |
| 1:51.0 | And you guys know I'm kind of a mitochondria here. |
| 1:54.0 | And our second guest is Nivindra Seeram, a PhD who's a professor in chair of the biomedical and pharmaceutical science institute or department at the University of Rhode Island. |
| 2:06.0 | And he runs the bioactive botanical research laboratory, figuring out what medicinal plants and their natural compounds can do against chronic human disease. |
| 2:17.0 | Welcome to the show, Nivindra and Chris. |
| 2:20.0 | Hey, thanks for having us. Thanks Dave. |
| 2:22.0 | I want to start, Nivindra. It's really interesting that there's a whole university department about this. |
