In this episode of The Optimal Protein Podcast, we dive into two fascinating new studies that explore how diet, supplementation, and exercise impact biological aging and body composition.

📌 Study 1: How omega-3s, vitamin D, and exercise work together to slow down biological aging—and why the combination may be more powerful than any of these interventions alone.

📌 Study 2: A systematic review and meta-analysis on ketogenic and low-carb diets, breaking down their impact on body weight, BMI, and fat mass.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✅ A new study shows how combining omega-3s with vitamin D and exercise may have a major impact on biological aging.

✅ A deeper look at why omega-3s are crucial for longevity and how I personally get mine from marine algae, like ENERGYbits®, a plant-based source of ALA, EPA, and DHA.

✅ What the latest ketogenic diet research tells us about fat loss and body composition—and what it didn’t show.

✅ Why stacking multiple lifestyle interventions together may be the key to long-term health and longevity.

🎧 Tune in now to hear all the details and practical takeaways from these two exciting new studies!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina.
0:05.5	Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host Vanessa and I am fired up for
0:11.2	today's episode. We are breaking down two brand new hot off the presses studies. One of them is
0:18.8	all about ketogenic diets and fat loss. And the other one is all about
0:24.5	a recent clinical trial examining the effects of omega-3 supplementation on reducing our
0:32.4	biological age. So I am super pumped to break down both of these studies in today's episode. They are both
0:39.3	newly out for March of 2025, which is in the future because today is the last day of February.
0:47.7	But both of these studies are being published in the March issues of two scientific journals. So I can't wait to get into both
0:57.2	of these studies and breaking them down in today's episode for you all. We will jump right in
1:02.3	after this quick break. Friends, I have to share with you an incredible anti-aging secret that I
1:09.2	have now become obsessed with.
1:11.4	Now, you've probably heard that aging is actually caused by free radical damage.
1:16.2	Now, this damage is a byproduct of creating cellular energy inside our cells at the mitochondrial level.
1:23.5	So by providing our mitochondria with antioxidants, we can actually prevent a lot of that damage from happening in the first place.
1:31.4	There are only four antioxidants that can actually get inside the inner membrane of the mitochondria,
1:38.0	and that includes glutathione, chlorella, and something called superoxide dismutase, as well as melatonin. Now after the age of 30,
1:48.3	the levels that our bodies make for us fall off a cliff. And this is why aging accelerates
1:54.2	and health issues start to pop up. Now, algae itself has all of these mitochondrial antioxidants
2:00.8	that are mitochondria specifically need.
2:04.1	And again, that's glutathione, chlorella, and superoxide dismutateate.
2:08.4	They help to protect our mitochondria from all that oxidative stress that is created when we make cellular energy in the form of ATP.
2:17.4	I've been able to replace taking
