## Resource

Today, I'm joined by David Roberts and Dr. John Gildea , two passionate researchers whose work sits at the cutting edge of environmental health and longevity science. In this episode, we dive deep into the catalyst for developing a stabilized sulforaphane supplement—something born out of both necessity and relentless curiosity. David opens up about how environmental toxicity stopped being theoretical for him, and Dr. Gildea brings a wealth of clinical insight into why supporting our detox pathways could be a game-changer for chronic disease prevention.
