Most chronic diseases– if not all– stem from mitochondrial dysfunction in our cells.  So how can we address this metabolic crisis to prevent disease?  Metabolic diseases emerge when mitochondrial energy capacity declines past 50%, which is the threshold for insufficient energy availability. Without enough energy, the body loses its ability to maintain its normal and healthy state.  But it’s hard to understand exactly what goes on at this cellular level– and what we can do to change it.  That's why I invited Dr. Molly Maloof on the show today to discuss how women can optimize their mitochondrial health with the use of biohacking tools, nutrition, and a deep connection to change their health outcomes and health span. Because at the end of the day, the goal is to live as young as possible for as long as possible.  In this podcast, we dive deep into how blood sugar monitoring can be a powerful biohacking tool that provides real-time insight into your metabolic health. We also learn that prioritizing relationships is key to vitality and longevity. We’ll talk about this… and SO much more as Dr. Molly helps us uncover the secrets to supercharging our connections and our energy. She’ll educate us on the factors that contribute to the women’s health crisis, and all we can do for our bodies to help overcome this.  Plus, Dr. Molly opens up immensely about her journey and struggles through her own health battles and finding her path as a doctor. She’s incredibly knowledgeable in her field, and recently published a book called The Spark Factor, which dives more into optimizing mitochondrial health to become our best selves.  If you want to develop personal growth, overcome fears, and discover the power of love and connection, this podcast is for you.  This episode empowers women to take control of their health, and I can’t wait for you to join in.  So listen now!  DR.
