In this episode, we break down the real story behind ESS60, the refined, “Nobel-linked” carbon molecule gaining attention in biohacking and longevity circles. Chris Burres joins to explain how a strange space discovery led to one of the most unusual molecules ever studied, why ESS60 differs from industrial C60, and what shocked researchers during a landmark toxicity study that unexpectedly extended rat lifespan.
We dive into the hype, the hesitation, and the human data emerging from doctors, athletes, and early adopters. From inflammation markers and HS-CRP shifts to sleep, recovery, and mitochondrial performance, we explore what ESS60 may actually be doing — and what it definitely isn’t.
Plus: the fundamentals of real longevity, the “BOSS Theory” of oxidative stress, and why lifestyle still beats every supplement.
