Nature’s Rapamycin: Sulforaphane — The Broccoli Sprout Miracle

In this episode we explore sulforaphane — a powerful compound formed when broccoli sprouts or broccoli are chewed — and its discovery and research origins at Johns Hopkins. Learn how glucoraphanin converts to sulforaphane via the enzyme myrosinase and why the right source matters.

The host explains sulforaphane's wide-ranging benefits, including effects similar to the drug rapamycin, potential support for hormonal and prostate health, muscle maintenance through myostatin activation, ovarian and immune advantages, and improvements in skin and hair.

Practical advice focuses on choosing authentic, high-quality sulforaphane products and where to find more information and resources from the host.
