Welcome to the Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, where I believe a healthy world is based on transparent conversations.

In this episode, I interview Chris Rinch, and he's co-founder and CEO of Amazantus.

Now, it's very unusual for me to bring in a CEO or founder of a company unless I am deeply

invested and believe in the work that they are doing.

And that's exactly why I brought Chris on.

He has for more than two decades been an innovator in the life science areas.

And before founding Amazentis in 2007, he worked in venture capital investing in pioneering

life science companies in the nutrition space and in biotechnology developing cell-based therapies at the Swiss

biotech company.

Rinch has authored several original publications in leading scientific journals, including

nature medicine, nature metabolism, JAMA Open, cell reports medicine, and others. And what he has researched is this compound

called urolithin A. And urolithin A is being shown to have a significant impact on mitochondrial

health, muscle function, and joint health. This is exactly why I had him on. I absolutely believe in the

science that he's doing, and I wanted to hear it, quite frankly, from the horse's mouth.

In this episode, we talk all about urolithin A. We talk about what it takes to maintain healthy muscle,

what are some of the compounds and influences to really impact mitochondria,

and what we can learn from urolithin A and how it has the potential as it relates to health

and longevity and overall aging?

This episode is brought to you by eight sleep.

Do you struggle to fall asleep, wake up in the middle night, or argue with your partner over the

thermostat? Well, I personally do because my husband likes it 45 degrees in the room. And for me,

I like it a little bit warmer. We've really had this thing in our relationship where he likes to sleep
