In This Episode:
In this episode, I interview mitochondrial expert Ken Swartz to explore the different facets of mitochondrial health and how one molecule, called C60, could be the key to reversing mitochondrial damage and optimizing energy, brain health and longevity.
Carbon 60 or C60 is one of the biggest buzzes lately in the health world. It is touted as a miracle molecule for anti-aging, energy, skin health, and more. C60 was an exciting find when it was discovered back in 1985.
In fact, the scientists who found it were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1996 for their discovery. You will want to learn more about this amazing compound and what it can do for your health!
If you’re always tired, foggy, or feeling like your body’s aging faster than it should, your mitochondria may be to blame. These tiny energy factories power every cell in your body—but as we age, they break down, leading to inflammation, fatigue, and chronic disease.
The Anti-Aging Secret Hidden in Your Cells
C60 is a powerful antioxidant that works differently than anything else on the market. Instead of disrupting your body’s natural signaling, it targets and neutralizes the most damaging free radicals—superoxide and hydroxyl—while recharging itself. Even more impressive?
It helps eliminate senescent “zombie” cells and promotes stem cell regeneration. Ken shares his personal story of reversing macular degeneration and the science behind C60’s role in increasing telomere length and skin repair.
Not Your Average Antioxidant
While most supplements lose potency or interfere with critical cellular processes, C60 supports your body at the mitochondrial level without side effects. Dr. Jockers and Ken break down how to take it, what to look for in a quality C60 product, and how quickly users report improvements in energy, mental clarity, recovery, and even pain reduction.
Whether you’re biohacking for longevity or just want to feel like yourself again, this episode gives you a new tool to add to your wellness stack.
