119: This Weird Molecule Could Be the Key to Longevity - with Chris Burres
When the bespectacled Chris Burres wears a lab coat, he looks like a mad scientist. But don’t let that fool you! He’s a funny guy fascinated by many things. And like Elon Musk, Chris enjoys finding connections between the different areas he studies. One of his favorite subjects (and something Chris has devoted a lot of his career on) is longevity—precisely, the fantastic life span results surrounding a molecule called Carbon 60 (a.k.a. Buckyballs). When Chris realized a Nobel Prize-Winning chemical tested by NASA had shown to almost double the mammals’ lifespan, he decided to make C60 a household item. Our host Wade Lightheart asks Chris some great questions that will help you wrap your head around C60 - what it is, how its extracted, and the health benefits people report after taking C60.
