Boosting strength, stamina and skin health

As healthy aging science evolves, researchers are able to focus on the lifestyle interventions that have the biggest impact on our lives.  A good, balanced diet and consistent exercise top of the list of daily must-dos, but paying attention to our cellular health is also essential.  It is a pillar of healthy longevity that has emerged as central to our ability to stave off disease and remain physically strong. Dr. Anurag Singh, Chief Medical Officer at the Swiss life science company, Timeline Nutrition, studies the role of the gut metabolite, Urolithin A, which recent research has shown to have wide benefits, including muscle strength, skin health and a potential to protect our immune systems.  For this interview, LLAMA host Peter Bowes met Dr. Singh at his office in Lausanne, Switzerland, to learn more about his quest to understand how Urolithin A impacts human health.Timeline make Mitopure, which is a highly pure form of Urolithin A.
