This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we've got a very special guest!! This conversation could not be more top of mind for us: earlier this week we talked about how much more risk tolerant we USED to be (ex: we once loved helicopters.. now we won't get on one hahaha). Because as new parents, we're focused on one thing: how do we live to 100 (no like actually literally??) so we can spend as much time with our kids as possible?!
Enter Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson: veterinary epidemiologist, healthy aging researcher, and co-founder of fatty15 (a proud TPAP sponsor!). Dr. Stephanie's research with Navy dolphins (yes, the Navy has dolphins?!) led to the discovery of C15:0 as the first essential fatty acid identified in over 90 years, and the origin story is SO fun (bc who doesn’t love dolphins).
We get into the science behind aging well: what healthy aging actually means (preserving the best of who we are for as long as possible!), what a "geroprotector" is and why scientists call it the holy grail, and Dr. Stephanie's top priorities for healthy aging (diet, movement and sleep before ANY supplement). Then her top 3 supplements worth taking, how to get C15:0 naturally through your diet vs. supplementing, and how it impacts all of us: adults, breastfeeding moms, and kids (the whole milk convo was fascinating!!)
And after ALL that science, Dr. Stephanie's #1 rec for parents for healthy aging this week is still: get outside with your kids and run around. Socialization, exercise and better sleep, all in one!!
Hope everyone has a great weekend :-)
LOVE YOU GUYS!
