What if one molecule could help you live longer, think clearer, and recover faster — and it’s backed by a Nobel Prize?

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Dr. Kien Vuu (Doctor V) sits down with Chris Burres, research scientist and founder of MyVitalC, to unpack the science behind Carbon 60 (C60) — a molecule so powerful it increased the lifespan of test rats by 90% in a peer-reviewed study.

Chris breaks down the connection between oxidative stress, aging, and how ESS60 (a purified version of C60) could be the key to unlocking greater human performance, mental clarity, and cellular longevity.

🧪 The science is real. The potential is massive. Tune in to learn why the longevity world is buzzing about this molecule.

In this electrifying episode of the Thrive State Podcast, I sit down with former U.S. Marine, polar explorer, and founder of Fearvana, Akshay Nanavati, to unpack how fear, suffering, and self-transcendence can unlock the life you were meant to live.

Akshay has faced war, addiction, and darkness—literally. He’s spent 17 days in pitch black stillness. Dragged a 420-pound sled across Antarctica. And lived to teach us what it means to truly transform fear into fuel.
