What if one of the most fascinating discoveries in longevity research wasn't developed for medicine—but was discovered while scientists were studying carbon?

In this episode of the Health Business Growth Show, Tim sits down with Chris Burres, founder and chief scientist of MyVitalC, to unpack the remarkable story behind ESS60—a Nobel Prize-winning carbon molecule that unexpectedly became the focus of one of the most talked-about longevity studies in history.

Chris explains how a molecule originally researched for industrial applications went on to produce a 90% lifespan extension in a landmark rat study, why researchers believe mitochondria may be at the center of healthy aging, and what the current human research actually shows. Together, they separate hype from science while exploring sleep, oxidative stress, inflammation, and the future of longevity medicine.

Whether you're a functional medicine practitioner, health entrepreneur, biohacker, or simply fascinated by the science of aging, this episode offers an engaging look at one of today's most intriguing emerging health technologies—and the evidence behind it.

You know those moments when someone shares one little thing they did in their business and you're like… whoa, that changes everything? That's exactly what today's episode feels like — and it's actually part 2 of our Mic Drop series. If you caught part 1, you already know these short, sharp stories pack a punch. We're pulling back the curtain on three more behind-the-scenes moments from last year's summit — quick, powerful stories from health pros who've built seriously impactful businesses by doing things a little differently.

Dr. Tabatha Barber opens up about how she turned her own burnout into a movement — growing her Fast to Faith program into a bestselling book, supplement line, and coaching academy that's now helping women all over the world. Dr. Jenn Simmons shares how things shifted when she finally found the words to say exactly who she helps (and how she started packing out her webinars as a result). And Dr. Rob Whitfield? He's showing us what happens when you pair innovation with intention — from launching a practitioner training program to building a YouTube channel that hit half a million subscribers in just 90 days.

Each mic drop offers a fresh look at what's possible in health entrepreneurship when you lean into clarity, strategy, and community.

Memorable Quotes

"You don't want to be who you started out to be. You don't want to be who you were last year. That's not serving anybody." [00:15:14] – Dr. Tabatha Barber

"As it turns out, what we don't need are more meetings because we don't need to learn to be better doctors. We need to learn to be better business people because if they're not coming, you're not helping them." [00:18:15] – Dr. Jenn Simmons

"You can also simply promote a video on YouTube very cheaply. It's the cheapest form of promotion you can do in social media, and you'll get all the analytics from it where the others don't give you." [00:32:29] – Dr. Rob Whitfield
