Summary

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Mitopure, Sunlighten, and Thrive Market. As we age, our body’s natural antioxidant defenses slow down, driving chronic inflammation and diminishing overall health.  To combat inflammaging, scientists have been studying compounds that can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. One such compound is astaxanthin, a powerful, naturally occurring antioxidant with profound anti-inflammatory health benefits. Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to talk to David M. Watumull all about astaxanthin and how it helps to combat some of the key hallmarks of aging—inflammaging, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell signaling. David M. Watumull has more than twenty years of experience in product development, commercialization, and business management related to astaxanthin—a safe and powerful, naturally-occurring anti-inflammatory—for human health. He is the co-founder and CEO of AX3 Life, a consumer longevity company formed to help people be their best selves longer. AX3 Life targets inflammaging—a core hallmark of aging—at its source with AX3 bio-pure astaxanthin. He is also the COO of Cardax, a life sciences business focused on advancing pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications of astaxanthin.
