Longevity, really it's more about democratizing longevity of how can we live as healthy for as long as possible.

Welcome to Embody Radio, the premiere podcast for ambitious women ready to elevate their body,

mind, and life to the next level. On this show, we've used high performance, wellness and aesthetics,

about fats on its head. C-15, also known as pentadecanoic acid, is the first essential fatty
