Dr. Brandon Crawford is joined by Samuel Shepherd, a former Department of Defense biochemical engineer who used his expertise in weapons development to reverse-engineer a cure for his own “incurable” bone cancer. They deep-dive into the science of oxidative stress, the hierarchy of antioxidants, and the specific molecule that allows animals like naked mole rats and sharks to resist cancer and aging. Samuel recounts his 2003 diagnosis of polycythemia vera, where his blood pressure reached levels that “pegged” medical monitors at 300 mmHg. After years of grueling phlebotomies, Sam used a screening algorithm to find a commonality among cancer-resistant species. That common thread was Astaxanthin. However, he didn’t just find a supplement; he discovered a way to modify the molecule into a glucosidic form that bypasses the body’s digestive barriers to target disease at the atomic level.
