C60 Benefits for Men (with Jessica MacNaughton)

Hey there, Modern Man.

This week’s issue dives into Carbon 60 (C60), the molecule with a superhero-like ability to fight oxidative stress and support healthy testosterone levels. Jessica MacNaughton, CEO of C60 Power, joins me to break down the science in simple terms.

👉 C60 = the “cell sweeper” that clears out toxic waste, amps up your cellular energy, and keeps your body feeling youthful and sharp.

💡 Interesting Fact of the Week 💡

C60 won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1996.

This "miracle molecule" was discovered in 1985 and quickly earned its place as the most powerful antioxidant known. Unlike vitamin C or E, it can reset and reuse itself, which means it keeps fighting free radicals longer.

🔬 Research Spotlight 🔬

C60 supports mitochondrial function and hormone production.

In peer-reviewed research, C60 has been shown to reduce oxidative stress in cells, which in turn can help balance hormones like pregnenolone, critical for testosterone production.

💥 Tip of the Week 💥

Add C60 to your Good Morning Wood Smoothie.

Try adding a teaspoon of C60 in avocado oil to your morning smoothie. Arugula, beets, and berries already support nitric oxide and blood flow. C60 boosts this by sweeping out cellular gunk and making your mitochondria hum.

🤔 Why C60 is Different From Other Antioxidants 🤔

Most antioxidants, like vitamin C or E, do their job once and then get flushed out. C60 works differently. It doesn’t just fight free radicals and call it a day… it resets and keeps going. Think of it as a self-recharging cleaning crew for your cells.

Here’s why it stands out:

🧬 Not toxic at any level
You could take a ton of C60 and still be safe. No side effects, no danger zones. That’s almost unheard of in the supplement world.

🧠 Crosses the blood-brain barrier
This means C60 can directly support brain health and clarity, not just your body.

♻️ Recharges itself = lasts longer
Unlike other antioxidants that get "used up," C60 can neutralize free radicals again and again.

🔧 Supports hormone health, without being a hormone
It helps activate pregnenolone, the “mother hormone” that leads to testosterone and estrogen production.

Hey there, Modern Man.

Discover how Vitamin D3, a humble nutrient most people overlook, can be a game-changer for your blood flow and confidence behind closed doors. Nearly 99.9% of men I treat have low Vitamin D, and the effects are more serious than you think.

🎯 What Every Modern Man Should Know About Vitamin D 🎯

• Vitamin D3 is more effective than D2.
  Studies show that D3 is significantly better at raising and maintaining vitamin D levels in the bloodstream. Most prescriptions are for D2, but what you really want for optimal results is D3. Your body absorbs and utilizes it far more efficiently.

• D3 + K2 = Next-level absorption and protection.

  When combined with vitamin K2, D3 is not only absorbed better, but it also helps ensure calcium is deposited in your bones (where it belongs) instead of your arteries. K2 acts like a traffic cop for calcium, keeping your heart healthy while you boost your energy and mood.

• Low D = low nitric oxide = low energy “down there.”

  Here’s the chain reaction: Low D = higher inflammation → less nitric oxide → reduced blood flow. Nitric oxide is crucial for blood vessel relaxation and circulation, if it’s low, your “lower HQ” isn’t getting the support it needs.

• Get sunshine, but supplement year-round, especially if you’re over 40.

  Yes, your skin makes vitamin D from sunlight, but only under ideal conditions (no sunscreen, no clouds, and midday rays). As we age, our ability to synthesize vitamin D from the sun drops dramatically. That’s why supplementing with high-quality D3+K2 is non-negotiable for most men over 40.

🧪 Lab Test Spotlight 🧪

What’s “Normal” Isn’t Always Optimal

When you get your vitamin D levels checked, your doctor will usually measure something called 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D). That’s the most accurate marker of your vitamin D status.

Here’s how to interpret your results:

✨ Secret Little Hacks ✨

Want better mojo with minimal effort? Try these:

✅ Switch to D3 with K2
It absorbs better and helps the calcium go where it should, not in your arteries.

✅ Go for cholecalciferol (D3)—not ergocalciferol (D2).
D2 is cheaper, but much less effective.

✅ Check your label.
Look for a USP or NSF certification to ensure purity and potency.

✅ Get bloodwork done.
Ask your doctor for a test called Vitamin D25. You want your levels between 45–55 ng/mL.

🧨 Myth Buster 🧨

“If I go out in the sun, I don’t need to worry about Vitamin D.”

Sure, the sun helps your body make vitamin D, but it’s not as simple as stepping outside. Here’s why that assumption can leave you running on empty:

• Time of day matters. Your skin only synthesizes vitamin D efficiently around midday. Morning or late afternoon sun? Not enough UVB.

• Sunscreen blocks it. SPF 15 or higher can reduce vitamin D production by up to 99%.

• Your location plays a role. If you live north of Atlanta (or anywhere with a true winter), your skin makes almost no D for several months a year.

• Skin tone affects synthesis. The more melanin you have, the harder it is for your skin to produce vitamin D from sunlight.

• Aging reduces production. By age 50+, your ability to make vitamin D through sun exposure can drop by over 50%.

❓ Q&A of the Week ❓

Q: Isn’t Vitamin D just for bones and immune health?
A: It’s so much more. Vitamin D is technically a hormone, and it plays a key role in blood vessel relaxation and testosterone support.

Q: Can I get enough from food?
A: Not easily. You’d need 5–7 servings of veggies a day, plus a healthy gut to absorb it all. Spoiler: Most of us don’t.

Q: Can low Vitamin D really affect my response to "performance enhancers"?
A: Yes, and here’s why: Studies have shown that men with low vitamin D levels may not respond as well to PDE-5 inhibitors like Viagra or Cialis. That’s because low D can cause fibrosis (scar tissue) in the blood flow chambers, making it harder for these meds to work properly.

✅ Action Items for the Week ✅

📌 1. Get Tested. Ask your provider for a Vitamin D25 test.

📌 2. Supplement Smart. Take 2,000–10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 + K2 daily.

📌 3. Choose Quality. Not all supplements are created equal.

📌 4. Track Progress. Re-check blood levels every 3–6 months.
