Urolithin A: The Miracle Compound - Dr. Dominic Denk : 1119

Get ready for this important download on a fascinating biohacking compound you haven’t heard me talk about before: Urolithin A. It’s a postbiotic that supports the mitochondria, and it’s backed by impressive studies on longevity, anti-cancer effects, cognitive function, and muscle strength. In fact, this compound has earned a place in my permanent stack—which you know isn’t easy to pull off.

Today, I chat with Dr. Dominic Denk, who’s done some of the original research on Urolithin A and the company that makes it, Timeline Nutrition powered by Mitopure. Dr. Denk works as a physician in the Department of Internal Medicine at University Hospital Frankfurt.

Dr. Denk breaks down what Urolithin A is and how it impacts aging and cancer prevention—answering questions on when, how, and why to take Mitopure—before we delve into the powers of mitochondria, how to have more energy production in your cells, and the relationship between energy production and cancer.

We also talk T cells, autoimmunity, and inflammation. Plus, we get into the differences in healthcare and pharmaceutical overreach in the U.S. and Germany. Tune in to uncover the latest life-changing compound—and find out what it will do for your heaviest lift in the gym, your cognition before your next big meeting, and to reverse aging over time.
