Energy Production and C15

What can dolphins teach us about energy production, about our brains working well, and how can dementia and dolphins affect us? I learned from a lot of different things. I learned from environmental medicine people. I learned from farmers. I learned from patients. I learned from reading research articles. Anybody who's really good at their art or good at what they do is constantly learning from people in different walks of life, different fields of expertise. And vets, people kind of joke, oh, you're no better than a vet. Actually, I do have really a lot of super smart vets in the veterinary world. Something they realized was that dolphins actually can get Alzheimer's disease based on their diet. So they kind of take a deep dive into Alzheimer's and dolphins. They found out there's a certain saturated fat called C15, which unfortunately, about 30% of Americans are deficient in. And we can now actually test for C15 in your blood. By the way, the long term for this is pentadecanoic acid. You know, big long word. But this is critical for brain function.
