David Roberts holds a MPH from Johns Hopkins, a masters in BME from the UVA, and a bachelors in EE and BME from Duke. David has more than 20 years of public health experience on three continents. In 2014, David co-founded the gut supplement RESTORE, now ION. He is currently managing partner at Mara Labs, makers of BrocElite. BrocElite is the only broccoli supplement on the market that has stabilized sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is great for inflammation, detox, and brain health. Mara Labs' mission is to pioneer and cultivate lifestyles of wellness for generations to thrive.

In today's episode, we explore the science behind a handful of unique molecules and substances that are crucial to health and longevity but aren't as well-known as what’s likely already in your supplement stack. Get ready to learn all about sulforaphane, quercetin, berberine, resveratrol, and curcumin.

David Roberts is not just any run-of-the-mill expert; he holds a Master of Public Health from Johns Hopkins, a Master's in Biomedical Engineering from UVA, and a Bachelor's in Electrical and Biomedical Engineering from Duke. His 20 years of public health experience spans three continents; he's a true pioneer in the field.

In 2014, David co-founded the gut supplement RESTORE, now known as ION, and he's currently a managing partner at Mara Labs, the creators of BrocElite. Mara Labs is all about cultivating a lifestyle of wellness for generations, and that's a mission I can get behind. Now, what's unique about BrocElite? It's the only broccoli supplement with stabilized sulforaphane – a game changing compound for inflammation, detox, and brain health. 

David and his team at Mara Labs have an incredible knack for zeroing in on some of the most interesting compounds – like the aforementioned sulforaphane, quercetin, berberine, resveratrol, and curcumin – and making them more bioavailable. It's all about understanding the lesser-known, yet powerful compounds derived from food, which is David's area of expertise – finding what's effective and bioavailable so you're not just wasting your money on buzzwords and marketing.

We also cover the link between glyphosate and detox pathways, and how conventional wheat farming is impacting our gut health. Plus, we geek out on the latest compounds and molecules supporting anti-aging and share some top-notch tips for getting better sleep.

So, if you're as excited as I am about discovering unique and innovative health products that really move the needle, this episode is for you. And don't forget, head over to mara-labs.com/lukestorey for up to a 28% discount on these groundbreaking products.
