Ep. 25: Is Mikhail Shchepinov "Breaking The Chains of Aging"?

About this episode

Dr. Mikhail Shchepinov discusses his research on lipid peroxidation and aging, focusing on his book 'Breaking the Chains of Aging'.

Introduction It's well-known that lipid peroxidation is involved in aging and longevity. But what can we do about it? Dr. Shchepinov has been researching using deuterium to 'shore up' the PUFAs like those in seed oils to prevent them become toxic metabolites. He's had some interesting successes, and we discuss at length his new book: "Breaking the Chains of Aging".
