Summary

Cool Facts are quick hits of new human and world science curated into short bursts of information just for you. This fun compilation publishes one Friday a month.

  • GlyNAC (glycine and N-acetylcysteine) can correct glutathione deficiency, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and mitophagy abnormalities to help you live longer.
  • Moms and dads think — and react — differently to newborn baby smells.
  • Clock and Cycle factors control circadian rhythm and protect your eyes as you age. 
  • Oleic acid produced in the brain helps regulate memory, learning, and mood; promotes neurogenesis; and increases cell proliferation.


EPISODE SPONSOR: The Eng3 NanoVi device helps repair oxidative stress damage and support the body’s natural repair mechanisms. https://eng3corp.com/DAVE/. Learn more: The Anti-Aging Science Behind the NanoVi Device – Rowena Gates & Hans Eng – #416.

Welcome to another edition of Cool Facts.

Cool Fact Number 1 Scientists have found yet another way to possibly extend human life

0:13.0

in this time by fixing bulti mitochondria.

0:16.2

And if you've read my book on anti-aging, you know that mitochondria is one of the seven

0:21.9

pillars of aging and I'd argue the most important because if you can't make enough energy, none

0:26.1

of the other repair processes that your body can do are possible.

0:30.8

So I think of this as foundational.

0:33.6

And since a lot of scientists now agree that mitochondria are involved or are a primary

0:38.6

cause of aging, if we can hack that, we're going to live longer.

0:41.7

This new research out of Baylor College of Medicine may have an antidote for some of the

0:47.2

faults in mitochondria and it's by oxidative protection.

0:50.9

And you might have heard of antioxidants.

0:52.6

Well, this is kind of how they work except that your mitochondria have to do oxidation

0:57.8

because that's how they make electrons.

0:59.5

The deal is what happens if they leak inflammation because they don't do a good job of making

1:05.0

electrons without a lot of waste.

1:07.2

So healthy creatures of all forms that have mitochondria, if they can be very efficient

1:11.9

at converting air and food into electrons.

1:15.6

Magically they live longer and they perform better and that's what we're all about.

1:20.4

This new supplement is called Glynaq and it is a mix of glycine, the predominant amino

1:27.0

acid in collagen.

1:28.5

And if you're a long time follower, you know that I turned collagen into a billion dollar
