Could the secret to a longer, healthier life be hidden in simple foods like shiitake mushrooms and wheat germ?   In this solo episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, we compare synthetic and food-derived spermidine, discussing the potential health implications of each. I share insights into how spermidine supports cellular renewal and DNA repair, and why centenarians with higher levels of this compound might just be onto something.    From the impact on mitochondrial biogenesis in aging heart muscle cells to the protection and stimulation of DNA repair, the benefits of spermidine are as promising as they are diverse.
