How Urolithin A Helps Create Super T-Cells & Boosts Immunity

… immunologist Anurag Singh, M.D., Ph.D., MBA, Chief Medical Officer at Amazentis, joins the show to talk about urolithin A’s connection between inflammation, aging and your mitochondria.

Urolithin A activates mitophagy and renews your mitochondria.  “It takes all the cellular garbage that has been accumulating over the aging process,” Dr. Singh explains. “It revs it up, so it recharges. And so now, you’re cleaning your metabolic waste products much more efficiently and they become the building blocks. This is mitochondrial biogenesis, and that means newer, healthy mitochondria coming in.”

This new conversation takes an exciting turn into immunity and your immune system’s two lines of defense: innate and adaptive. You’ll learn:

• how inflammation plus aging (AKA inflammaging) contributes to a weakened immune system and a growing incidence of cancer as you age;
• how inflammaging and cancer are connected to mitochondrial dysfunction specifically during the aging process; and
• how to approach your immune health differently with this new knowledge.

A new study recently published in Immunity looks at how immune cells fight cancer better with a focus on immune modulation, immune cell exhaustion and immune responses.

• The study shows new evidence for the connection between the two known health benefits of Urolithin A: mitophagy activation and immune modulation.
• The study also points to a close link between mitochondrial health and immune function.
