The Science Behind Better Sleep, More Energy, and Healthy Aging | Chris Burres

Have you ever wondered if living longer could also mean living better?

In this episode, I sit down with Chris Burres, founder and chief scientist at MyVitalC, author of Live Longer and Better, host of the Live Beyond the Norms podcast, patent holder, entrepreneur, and former comedy improv performer.

Chris is the founder and chief scientist at MyVitalC, where he works with ESS60, a Nobel Prize-winning carbon molecule associated with the longest published longevity experiment in mammals, demonstrating a remarkable 90% extension in lifespan. Today, his mission is to help people live longer, healthier, happier, and pain-free lives by making cutting-edge science accessible and understandable.

What makes Chris' story especially inspiring is that he never set out to become a longevity expert. His journey unfolded through curiosity, persistence, and a willingness to follow unexpected opportunities. Together, we explore the science behind mitochondria, oxidative stress, healthy aging, and why living longer only matters if we're also living with purpose.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Chris' entrepreneurial journey and how a college startup became MyVitalC
• The fascinating discovery of ESS60 and why it earned a Nobel Prize
• What oxidative stress is and how it affects the aging process
• The important role mitochondria play in energy, focus, and overall wellness
• Why better sleep may be one of the greatest indicators of long-term health
• What current research is revealing about longevity and inflammation
• The importance of purpose alongside living a longer life
• Chris' books, podcast, and ongoing longevity research
