Ken Swartz, aka “Ken the Scientist," joins me today to talk about oxidative stress, mitochondrial efficiency, and Carbon 60, also known as C60. Ways in which oxidative stress can damage the body: Rips holes in cell membranes Prevents proteins from folding properly Damages cellular blueprints (DNA and RNA) Ken Swartz Bio: Ken Swartz, aka “Ken the Scientist,” is the founder and Chief Science Officer of C60 Purple Power, a health and wellness company committed to delivering the highest quality Carbon 60 products available. Ken earned a Master of Science degree from the University of Colorado at Denver and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Arizona State University. He spent the early part of his career as a secondary school teacher, and he continues to be passionate about helping and educating people. Ken has run several research science laboratories over the course of his career and discovered C60 while developing the MOXY fusion reactor.  During his research, he became aware of the powerful free radical neutralizing properties of C60. He first began using C60 as a radiation protectant while leading a fusion research project. He noticed, after taking C60 for a couple of months, that not only was it protecting him from radiation, but he discovered that his health was also improving. So, he continued taking it.  About eight months after Ken started taking C60, he was at a routine visit with his optometrist and discovered that his *dry Macular Degeneration was gone. His doctor was dumbfounded and told him that in all his years, he had never seen such an improvement.  Due to this healing experience, Ken decided to dedicate himself to the research, study, and production of C60 Buckminster Fullerenes. In 2016, Ken founded C60 Purple Power which offers 99.99% pure sublimated Carbon 60, (never exposed to solvents), delivered in 100% certified organic oils, made in the USA.  Ken believes that “your health is your responsibility” and he is on a mission to help people feel empowered to take control of their health.  *However, disclaimer here, these statements and products have not been approved by the Food & Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.  In this episode: What C60 is, and what it does for the cells. (5:36) What is oxidative stress? (6:03) The cumulative damage oxidative stress causes over time. (7:06) How C60 reverses symptoms of aging. (8:11) The role mitochondria play in our health. (8:55) Why athletes love C60.
