Summary

In today's episode of The Root Cause Medicine Podcast, Dr. Carrie Jones sits down with a serial entrepreneur, veterinary epidemiologist, and public health scientist, Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, to uncover the groundbreaking discovery of the C15 fatty acid. You'll hear them discuss: 1. The accidental discovery of C15 from Navy dolphins 2. How C15 strengthens cell membranes and fights cellular aging 3. Links to metabolic health, fatty liver disease, and mitochondrial function 4. Why most diets are deficient in C15 and how to fix it Stephanie is a seasoned entrepreneur with a proven track record of innovation in health and science. She is the founder of Epitracker and Seraphina Therapeutics, two clinical research programs within the Department of Defense and non-profit sector. With over 60 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters, Stephanie is also the lead inventor on more than 40 issued and pending patents.

0:00.0	Today on the root cause medicine podcast, our whole body's meat of cells. The deficiency syndrome
0:06.2	affects each and every one of our cells because C-15's whole job is just to keep the membrane
0:13.0	of our cells, which is made up of fatty acids, to keep it strong. C-15 is a super sturdy, strong
0:20.7	fatty acid, resistant to lipid proxidation, reactive oxy,
0:24.4	all these things that happen as we get older. It literally strengthens the integrity of our
0:29.9	cell membrane so that our cells can stay strong and fight off aging-related breakdown. If we
0:36.3	don't have enough C-15, it actually accelerates the aging
0:40.0	process. And this is where we propose that this helps explain why younger and younger people
0:46.0	are getting heart disease, fatty liver disease, certain types of cancers, is because they don't
0:51.7	have that basic brick structure to be able to protect their salts.
0:55.0	Hello, hello. I'm your co-host for today, Dr. Carrie Jones, and I am so excited to have on the Dr. Stephanie Ven Watson, who is a vet, a researcher.
1:06.0	She's going to talk to us all about fatty 15, which is a type of fatty acid known as pentadecinoic acid.
1:15.2	Now what's so fascinating is that she did all this research
1:18.0	with the military on dolphins as they age.
1:21.6	Now she did it in a healthy way,
1:22.7	don't think she was doing like crazy weird animal research,
1:25.8	but she discovered this essential fatty acid and realized
1:28.6	that dolphins who had high levels of this fatty acid live longer and healthier and then found
1:34.7	out humans have it too. There has been a plethora of research on this fatty 15, this pentodecinoic
1:41.6	acid, since discovering this fatty acid, and she's going to talk to us
1:45.6	all about it today.
1:47.2	We discover everything in the research, we go through it all, around cellular fragility
