Cellular vitality depends on how well the body manages oxidative stress and supports mitochondria, and today we explore a molecule that shifts both at the deepest level. This episode uncovers how ESS60 interacts with cellular energy systems to influence sleep, focus, recovery, and long-term biological resilience.

In this episode of the C3 Podcast, we sit down with Chris Burres, co-founder and chief scientist of MyVitalC, to uncover how ESS60 works inside the mitochondria to buffer oxidative stress and support healthier cellular function. We break down how this refined form of C60 differs from industrial-grade carbon, why the BOSS model explains its antioxidant selectivity, and how supporting stressed mitochondria can change energy, sleep quality, and daily performance.

We also explore how combining stress reduction tools with mitochondrial support can strengthen the body's natural capacity for repair and resilience.

Chris Burres is a carbon nanotechnology expert and longevity educator whose work with ESS60 spans industrial origins, breakthrough toxicity research, and real-world applications in cellular energy, inflammation, and healthy aging. Through MyVitalC, he is pioneering accessible mitochondrial support solutions that align with the body's innate healing intelligence.
