It all started by a book review called Lifespan: Why We Age – and Why We Don’t Have To, which lead to the topic of Sirtuins on our weekly Zoom Recovery & Regeneration Coaching & Therapists group call.

Sirtuins are a family of signaling proteins involved in metabolic regulation. You’ve probably heard of resveratrol, found in food include the skin of grapes, blueberries, raspberries, and mulberries. As well as on the shelf of your supplements store.
