Summary
If you're like most people, the last time you thought about mitochondria was probably in high school biology class. However, these tiny cellular powerhouses might be the missing link in understanding how we age and why our energy levels change as we get older.
In this conversation we're diving deep into the world of mitochondrial health, exploring how these cellular powerhouses affect everything from your afternoon energy slump to your skin's aging process. From cutting-edge compounds like Urolithin A to the fascinating connection between mitochondria and hormones, Jennifer Scheinman (not only a registered dietitian but also holds a master's degree in integrative and functional nutrition) breaks down the complex science into practical insights that could help you reclaim your energy and support your body's natural aging process. Whether you're in your thirties and thinking ahead, or already navigating the changes of midlife, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on cellular health that goes way beyond basic biology class.
If you've been feeling like your internal battery isn't charging quite like it used to, this discussion might just illuminate why – and reveal some surprising solutions you haven't considered. Let's dive into what mitochondria actually are and why they matter, especially for those of us in midlife and beyond.
