Why This Orthopedic Surgeon Recommends Resveratrol
Hi, Dr. Meredith Warner here:
Let me give a quick introduction before we dive into Resveratrol. I am an orthopedic surgeon, Air Force veteran, and founder of Well Theory.
The supplements I make for Well Theory are the same supplements I’ve recommended to my patients for years. I want them, and now you, to experience the functional and lifestyle improvements that come with the right diet, exercise and supplemented nutrition.
With every Well Theory product I create, I’m able to share these solutions with more people, and not just my patients.
Resveratrol
I’ve added the antioxidant-rich supplement Resveratrol to my Well Theory line-up because it’s been shown to lower inflammation, improve pain caused by inflammation, and improve energy levels at the cellular level. Resveratrol can be found in the skin of grapes (as well as red wine), but not in large concentrations. You’d have to eat a lot of grapes or drink an unhealthy amount of wine to consume the same amount found in my supplements.
Resveratrol and Healthy Aging
Studies show that Resveratrol can slow down the effects of aging through Sirtuin and AMPK activation. Resveratrol is packed with ways to help improve your longevity and day-to-day function.
"Resveratrol is shown to upregulate Sirtuin-1 and to increase longevity that way. It improves cognition, reduces episodes of cognitive decline, reduces deposition of abnormal proteins in the body and the brain, and more."

Reduces Inflammation in Joints
One of the primary ways resveratrol supports joint health is by reducing chronic inflammation. Inflammation is a major contributor to joint pain, stiffness, and conditions like osteoarthritis. Resveratrol has been shown to inhibit pro-inflammatory enzymes, such as COX-2, which are responsible for triggering joint inflammation. By blocking these pathways, resveratrol helps alleviate pain and improve mobility.
Powerful Antioxidant Protection
Joint deterioration is often accelerated by oxidative stress, a condition where harmful free radicals damage cells, including those in your joints. Resveratrol’s potent antioxidant properties help neutralize these free radicals, protecting joint tissues from oxidative damage. Resveratrol also works to protect cartilage by inhibiting the activity of specific enzymes—such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)—that break down cartilage.

One Simple Ingredient To Slow Down Aging
Our daily Resveratrol Supplement can help you slow down the natural aging process and improve your overall health and wellness.
HEALTH GOAL #1
HEALTH GOAL #1
COMBAT AGING
Resveratrol increases AMPK activation, which has been proven to reduce the effects of aging on the body’s cells. AMPK acts as a cellular energy sensor. When activated AMPK restores energy homeostasis.
HEALTH GOAL #2
HEALTH GOAL #2
REVITALIZE CELLS
Resveratrol activates Sirtuin protein activity which powers mitochondrial biogenesis, increases insulin sensitivity, lowers blood glucose levels, and improves cellular energy production.
HEALTH GOAL #3
HEALTH GOAL #3
IMPROVE METABOLIC HEALTH
Resveratrol reduces inflammation throughout the body, lowers LDL, and raises HDL cholesterol levels reducing the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Combat Aging + Revitalize Cells + Improve Heart Health
I’m always on the lookout for ways to improve the quality and longevity (HOW WELL & HEALTHY YOU AGE) of my patients’ lives (that includes you). Resveratrol is a piece of that puzzle.
When someone takes a Resveratrol supplement, they’re helping their body in a number of ways. The first is through AMPK activation.
AMPK senses energy levels within the cell, which in turn helps your cells achieve an optimal energy balance. AMPK is also shown to slow down aging at the cellular level, along with Sirtuin proteins – also activated by Resveratrol. Sirtuins are proteins that regulate the body as well, in a number of ways that include your stress response, metabolism and aging.
It also works to increase insulin sensitivity, therefore lowering blood glucose levels. This can contribute to your metabolic health, as well as overall heart health.
It can reduce inflammation and lower “bad” cholesterol levels while improving levels of “good” cholesterol – making it a supplement worth taking to heart.
Powerful Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Chronic inflammation is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease. Resveratrol acts as a natural anti-inflammatory, helping to reduce inflammation in blood vessels and the heart, which may lower the risk of developing heart-related conditions like atherosclerosis and heart attacks.
Rich in Antioxidants for Heart Protection
The antioxidant properties of resveratrol help combat oxidative stress, a major cause of cellular damage in the cardiovascular system. By neutralizing harmful free radicals, resveratrol protects the heart and blood vessels from damage, promoting longevity and vitality.
"Resveratrol revitalizes cells, so you can feel revitalized as well."

How The Antioxidant Properties Of Resveratrol Reduces Inflammation
“My goal is to help people age better, age fitter, and enjoy their old age. We’re all going to get old. You can’t stop that.”
Meredith Warner, MD
Resveratrol is also an antioxidant supplement. This means it’s able to neutralize free radicals that can lead to chronic inflammation and oxidative stress.
When the body’s levels of free radicals, produced by foods and pollutants, outnumber the body’s available antioxidants, you enter what’s referred to as oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress can lead to cell damage or even death. This triggers the body’s inflammatory response, which can lead to painful diseases like arthritis, cancer, heart disease and other noncommunicable diseases.
Taking Resveratrol not only provides antioxidants, but it also encourages the body to produce more of its own antioxidants over time. The body doesn’t produce as many antioxidants as you get older, which makes supplementing with antioxidants all the more necessary in maintaining longevity.
How to get results with natural medicine
1. Have a mindset of wellness over time: Don’t Expect It To Feel Like A Synthetic Drug. The timeline for better health with natural medicine is longer than with synthetic pharmaceuticals.
2. Addressing Root Cause: Natural remedies attempt to address the root causes, or the cellular beginnings of a given problem, pain, or inflammation. Naturally, this will take a bit longer and be less noticeable initially. But the results are wonderful.
3. Few Known Side Effects: My Well Theory products are formulated with higher doses of plant-based ingredients to deliver steady results over time – without the harmful side effects found in traditional pharmaceutical applications.
4. Get Blood Work Done: There are inflammatory markers you can check to determine your progress.
5. I Take Everything We Make: I wholeheartedly believe in the power of natural supplements.
