We have the first episode in our new series of sponsored podcasts, and we are kicking things off with Jessica McNaughton, the CEO and Co-founder of C60 Power. Jessica is a true trailblazer in the world of health innovation. She is renowned for her ability to demystify complex information and challenge conventional wisdom while delivering practical, effective, and accessible wellness solutions fueled by her passion for transformative health. In our discussion, we explore C60, which is considered a super antioxidant, with studies suggesting that it is 100 to 1000 times more powerful than traditional antioxidants like vitamin C or E. We define what C60 is, what antioxidants are, and how they support the body and protect the mitochondria. Jessica explains how C60 gets created in the lab and walks us through the protocols for pairing C60 with fasting or intermittent fasting, looking at its potential for biohacking and how it supports athletic performance, cognitive clarity, mood, and even pet wellness. We also explore the benefits of C60 for women in perimenopause and menopause due to its role in supporting pregnenolone, the precursor molecule for all hormones.
