THIS EPISODE OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER highlights a unique carbon nano molecule, a C60 fullerene, that potentially may enhance Longevity and promote healthy Aging.  This carbon molecule was so significant that the discovery earned three scientists the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Now it appears that it might play a major role in protecting key antioxidants in the body.

Today’s Featured Expert is scientist and entrepreneur, Chris Burres. Chris has an extensive background in a diverse range of areas including Mechanical Engineering,  Oil and Gas Explosives, Comedy Improv Artist, and Competitive Soccer. In 1991 he founded the first company to deliver carbon nano materials and two years later, he earned his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Houston.Chris is the co-founder of MyVitalC  company. When he realized that one of the chemicals he sold, ESS60, the subject of the aforementioned Chemistry Nobel Prize, had been shown to significantly increase the lifespan of mammals, he struggled with the moral implications of marketing ESS60, as a supplement. So today’s conversation will hopefully range from carbon chemistry, carbon nano materials specifically fullerenes, to the potential human benefits of these antioxidants and ethics of supplement marketing.

Dr. Gillian Lockitch is an international speaker, author of Growing Older, Living Younger: The Science of Aging Gracefully and The Art of Retiring Comfortably, and host of the Growing Older, Living Younger Podcast. As a dual-certified Specialist in Paediatrics and Medical Biochemistry and Professor at the University of British Columbia, her professional career was rooted in science. During her rehabilitation from life-saving emergency spinal surgery, her passion to be able to dance again led her to explore the intersection of medical and epigenetic science with non-Western healing traditions, to understand how to change aging at the cellular level. Within the Growing Older, Living Younger Project, the Change Your Aging Masterplan cycle is a year-long 3 part coaching program to preserve mind and brain, build your best body, and to survive and thrive in your environment. At 70 Dr. Lockitch became a first time entrepreneur, building a global online business with the premiere wellness and beauty company, to help others extend their healthspan, stay vibrant, active, and independent as they age. Now retired from medical practice, Dr. Lockitch is an empathetic coach and mentor but does not diagnose, treat or prescribe for medical diseases.
