Save the dolphins. Save the world. | Stephanie Venn-Watson, DVM, MPH | TEDxSanDiego

As humans, we have the unique ability to combine compassion and innovation to improve life not just for ourselves, but for other species, too. Learn what helping older dolphins live the longest, healthiest lives possible is teaching us about healthy aging - and how a good fat, present in their fish diets and our butter, may improve health for all. Stephanie is a serial entrepreneur who successfully launched Epitracker, Seraphina Therapeutics, two clinical research programs within the Department of Defense and non-profit sector, and founded public health education programs in the community and at the CDC. She has over 60 peer-reviewed scientific publications and book chapters and is the lead inventor on over 40 issued and pending patents. For her entrepreneurial work in the health industry, Stephanie was awarded the Department of Human and Human Services Secretary's Award for Innovations in Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.

    What a find, thanks to all who were on to it, especially to you Dr. Venn-Watson for getting it out to the public eye. I’ve been on it for a few weeks because I believe it as much as I believe you. Tired of being skeptical about all the products that are junk out there. I bought this with no worries.

    Wow. I feel this video could use a different title, so that people will find it. This is about a discovery of a nutrient, more than it is about dolphins.

    If this C15 fatty acid is the real reason why omega-3 is anti-inflammatory, this video deserves way more than sub-10k views.

    Not neccesarily. We already knew Omega 3s were healthy there's 1000 studies on it. So them selling something new isn't groundbreaking. More people just need to take Omegas 3s.

    @@JesusChrist2000BC Not so. Omega 3s are a chemically different type of fatty acid from C:15. Unlike single-bonded C:15, double-binded Omega 3s are a double-edged sword because they are susceptible to oxidation. Per Fatty15’s website: “Omega-3 and omega-6 are polyunsaturated fatty acids that contain multiple double bonds. These double bonds are why omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are oils which are particularly susceptible to oxidation. While omega-3 fatty acids have had many proposed health benefits, studies have had mixed outcomes. In comparison, C15:0 (also called pentadecanoic acid) is an odd-chain saturated fatty acid with no double bonds in the main chain. This makes C15:0 sturdy and resistant to oxidation. Studies have recently linked C15:0 to better long-term health, including better heart, metabolic, immune and liver health.”

    They’re not the same. C15:0 is a more recently discovered essential fatty acid (the first one since Omega-3 was discovered nearly a century ago). It’s more effective and safer than Omega-3, which is what makes this interesting.

    Dr Guidry states Guernsey milk is much healthier than regular milk. I drink goats milk and butter. The French thrive on butter, wine etc.

    A much stronger cause for the metabolic dysfunction of the industrialized population is the dramatic increase in glucose and fructose ingestion. Sugar is added to processed food, drinks are sugary, and snacks are all high in simple carbohydrates.

    I ordered fatty15 a few weeks ago. Already noticing much better, deeper sleep. Dream recall is phenomenal. Reduced cravings and feel full much faster when eating a meal. Less snacking. Won't know the truth impacts until follow up appointments and bloodwork in a couple of months.

    Tell me your blood results it's been 2 months I now have started this suppliement so I guess in 6 months time ask me for my latest blood results and il tell you then the difference in results as I have been doing a lot of blood and urine tests at the hospital and doctor over the last year and recently and in 6 months I will do more

    Lots of questions come to mind that would be asked in a real science talk rather than this TED talk. I’d be very skeptical of trying to pin the major diseases she mentioned on just a single food ingredient. One wonders to start with what level of pentadecanoic acid is sufficient if it is an essential fatty acid. Perhaps just using butter along with EVOO is enough to cover the bases. If you are eating foods with both odd and even hydrocarbon chain length saturated fatty acids, wouldn’t the good and the bad counter each other making it a wash ? Other questions get raised.

    I assume navy dolphins are just what we call captive dolphins. Firstly, this lady is saying that when dolphins are released into the open ocean, they go back to their facilities, that they choose to do so, bu t they do that because they´ve been trained to do so and being captive, they know no other ways of surviving in the natural environment. Secondly, longevity in captive dolphins, according to research, is less in captivity. And in any case, living longer doesn´t necessarily mean they have a happy and stress-free life. So it would be great if you, a person with suppossedly lot of knowledge, didn´t give misleading information. For a start, is sad that you even took part in such research, having dolphins in captivity is precisely what humans do, where is the compassion you are so proudly talking about in humans? give me a break.

    Just because they are trained, doesn’t mean they’re captive. Wild born Dolphins are intelligent enough to take advantage of ‘payment’ in food/treats for what is probably some really menial and simple tasks for them, but really helpful to navy scientists…measuring things with sensors for example…sending a dolphin out with a sensor on their back is much more simple and cost effective than sending a boat out, just logically. They certainly aren’t mistreated if they are released daily and return on their own.
