Episode description

Have we finally discovered the key to youthful energy, longevity, and cellular health?

In this episode, Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Anurag Singh, Chief Medical Officer at Timeline Nutrition and a leading expert on mitochondrial health, cellular regeneration, and anti-aging science. With over 20 years of research, 50 clinical trials, and 15 patents under his belt, Dr. Singh unpacks the groundbreaking science behind Urolithin A, a revolutionary postbiotic that boosts mitochondrial function, enhances immune system resilience, and combats chronic inflammation.

This episode goes beyond cutting-edge science. Dr. Singh reveals practical, real-world strategies to combat “inflammaging”—the chronic, low-grade inflammation that accelerates aging. Learn how fasting, gut health, and mitochondrial boosters like Urolithin A can rejuvenate your cells, fight fatigue, and supercharge your energy, vitality, and longevity.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• What Urolithin A is and its role in mitochondrial health and cellular energy production

• How to reverse “inflammaging” and reduce inflammation through nutrition, fasting, and biohacking

• The connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and immune system aging

• Real-life benefits of Urolithin A for energy levels, athletic recovery, skin health, and longevity

• Why mitochondrial support is critical for combating aging and improving overall performance

Monitor CD8 T cells to predict longevity and health

The quantity of your CD8 T cells, the elite forces of your immune system, is a key predictor of your longevity and health.

Supplement Urolithin A for optimal health benefits

As few as 10-20% of people in the US have the right gut microbiome to naturally produce Urolithin A from food, making direct supplementation necessary for most.

Enhance mitochondrial function with Urolithin A for efficient ketone use

Enhancing mitochondrial function with Urolithin A may lead to lower blood ketone levels because your cells become more efficient at pulling ketones from the blood to use as fuel.

Utilize urolithin A to enhance nutrient absorption

Urolithin A can be thought of as a 'cellular health glue or lubricant' that improves your body's ability to absorb and utilize other nutrients like Omega-3 and magnesium.

Apply Urolithin A to halt collagen-degrading enzymes and reduce wrinkles

Topically applied Urolithin A can reduce wrinkles by stopping the activity of collagen-degrading enzymes known as MMPs, which increase with age.

Utilize urolithin A to enhance exercise recovery

Urolithin A blunts exercise-induced inflammation and muscle damage without suppressing the positive training adaptations, unlike some antioxidants.

Implement fasting to reverse immune aging

Fasting is considered the number one intervention for reversing many aspects of immune system decline, including bringing back youthful CD8 T cells.

Address chronic inflammation as key to aging health

Out of 12 biological hallmarks of aging, chronic inflammation is the foundational pillar upon which all others, like mitochondrial dysfunction, converge.
