from Boundless Life · host Ben Greenfield

In this mind-blowing episode, you'll get to discover how a Navy dolphin program accidentally cracked open an exciting breakthrough in human health and longevity. I sit down with Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, a veterinary epidemiologist whose fascinating path led her from caring for military dolphins to identifying a completely overlooked fatty acid—C15:0—that's now being recognized as the first essential fatty acid discovered in over 90 years. If you’ve ever been confused about dairy fat, the nuances of saturated fats, or how to truly fuel your body for lasting vitality, this conversation will clear it all up—and give you real, actionable ways to start leveraging this cutting-edge science right away.
