Michelle Skaff shares how one "cellular biohack" pulled her out of chronic pain, and why she believes oxidative stress is the quiet root of aging, inflammation, and so many chronic issues.

We talk antioxidant enzymes in plain English, why most supplements don't solve oxidative stress at the source, and how community + purpose can be as health-changing as any protocol.

WE TALK ABOUT:

04:40 - What NRF2 is and how it helps reduce oxidative stress at the cellular level

10:10 - Understanding SOD (superoxide dismutase) and why antioxidant enzymes matter for aging

12:35 - Explaining oxidative stress with the "apple browning" analogy

15:35 - Why the same intervention works differently at 20 vs 80

17:40 - Using the "cellular traffic lights" framework (NRF2, mitochondria, NAD)

20:30 - Connecting oxidative stress to inflammation and aging hallmarks

28:30 - Debunking the "it's just aging" myth behind joint pain

31:35 - Building a simple good/better/best starting stack for inflammation + joints

37:10 - Testing gut health and why Tiny Health stood out

42:35 - Why community and purpose are emerging longevity tools
