Summary
The ancient fruit sitting in your grocery store right now outperforms rapamycin, rivals caloric restriction, and triggers a cellular cleanup process that most longevity scientists did not even know existed until a lab changed everything 18 years ago. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Go to timeline.com/Dave or just use code ‘Dave’ to get 20% off your next order. Host Dave Asprey sits down with Chris Rinsch, co-founder and President of Timeline Longevity and a PhD cell biologist who has spent nearly two decades doing pharmaceutical quality clinical research on one of the most underrated longevity molecules on earth. Before founding Timeline in 2007, Rinsch worked in venture capital investing in pioneering life sciences companies and in biotechnology developing cell-based therapies at Swiss biotech company ISOTIS SA. He has authored original publications in Nature Medicine, Nature Metabolism, JAMA Open, and Cell Reports Medicine, and holds internationally filed and granted patents on urolithin A. This is the first time a Timeline co-founder has appeared on the show. Together, Dave and Chris break down the full science of urolithin A, the postbiotic compound unlocked from pomegranate by gut bacteria, and why it triggers mitophagy to clear out damaged mitochondria and replace them with high-functioning ones. They cover why only 30 to 40 percent of people can produce urolithin A from food alone, how one month of supplementation measurably improved immune cell populations in people aged 50 to 70, and why Dave has stacked this into his daily longevity protocol alongside NAD precursors and nootropics for years.
