161: Slowing Down the Aging Process: A Conversation with Dr. Barrie Tan
02/12/23 • 34 min
Natalie Ledwell welcomes Dr. Barrie Tan to the podcast to discuss the topic of self-care and slowing down the aging process. The focus is on Vitamin E, a commonly known nutrient with antioxidant properties. However, Dr. Tan has made a breakthrough discovery of a special type of Vitamin E called Tocotrienol. This form of Vitamin E has three double bonds in its structure and is a faster and more efficient antioxidant compared to the commonly known Tocopherol. Dr. Tan has conducted numerous studies that show that Tocotrienol can effectively slow down the aging process. This special Vitamin E is available for purchase and can be found in the plant Natto, also known as the Lipstick Plant, which is commonly grown in South America. Tocotrienol works by capturing free radicals, the "bad guys" in the body, which are created when oxygen oxidizes fat. This is an important process to slow down aging, as fat oxidation is the first thing to go in a human body and the majority of our cell walls are composed of fat. Don't miss this exciting episode as Dr. Tan provides a simple explanation of how antioxidants work and the benefits of Tocotrienol.
