194: The Fountain of Youth with Chris Burres

In this informative episode of Meredyth with a Why, I sit down with Chris Burres, co-founder of MyVitalC, to discuss the science behind a revolutionary supplement that’s changing the way we think about aging, health, and longevity. We’re talking about one tiny molecule that might just help with everything from better sleep and energy to clearer skin and longevity—and yes, even possibly slowing the growth of tumors. I KNOW.   Chris has one of the most fascinating backstories—he started out as a carbon materials scientist and ended up in the supplement space after discovering that a molecule once thought to be toxic was actually doing something incredible in lab studies... like extending life and reducing tumors in animals. Yeah, I had questions. We dive into all the juicy stuff, including: How our mitochondria affect aging and chronic disease Why targeted supplements can improve sleep, focus, and recovery The connection between antioxidants, cancer prevention, and chemo support How to combine lifestyle basics like nutrition and exercise with smart supplementation Why MyVitalC uses olive oil, avocado oil, and MCT oil as delivery systems And the glow-up potential of peptides and night serums for skin and hair health If you’re into wellness, love geeking out over science, or you’re just sick of juggling a million pills in the morning, this convo offers a refreshing, simplified approach to feeling better, living longer, and aging like a boss. Ready to rethink your health routine? Tune in for this inspiring and science-backed conversation—with plenty of practical insights and a few laughs along the way. —   00:00 Introducing Chris Burres 02:50 The Nobel Prize-Winning Molecule 07:27 Health Benefits and Testimonials 15:49 Challenges in the Supplement Industry 28:58 Mechanisms of Action and Inflammation 35:19 Understanding Mitochondrial Stress 39:27 Practical Tips for Longevity 42:33 The Importance of Mindset 49:22 Cancer Research and ESS 60 01:02:21 Final Thoughts   —   Ready to dive even deeper?
