Welcome to the optimal protein podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina.

Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host Vanessa and I am super excited

for today's episode because we were talking all about energy, how to energize our bodies.

And really, when it comes to having optimal health, it really fundamentally means having

optimal energy levels. I'm sure many of you would agree. And in order to have optimal energy

levels, we have to have optimally functioning mitochondria. So today's episode, we're going to

talk about the six main ways to support your mitochondria and

your mitochondrial health. If we can improve or optimize the number and function of our mitochondria,

we can really, truly optimize our health in so many ways. And especially our energy levels,

because our mitochondria make so much of our energy for us.

They make ATP for us. So we're going to talk about the ways that we can really support them

and six great ways to achieve that. Now before we jump into today's episode, I want to tell you

about a very important nutrient that many of us are deficient in and not even aware of it.

And that nutrient is light and specifically red light. I am so passionate and obsessed with the

incredible amount of science behind red light therapy's ability to support our mitochondrial health.

Now, our mitochondria, as you probably

know, are responsible for helping us to do pretty much everything in our bodies at the cellular level.

Now, when it comes to energy levels, our immunity, our skin health and beauty, and even our metabolic

health and fitness, so much is connected back to our

mitochondria's ability to function optimally now we talk on this podcast all the time about different

strategies from exercise intermittent fasting doing resistance training and getting lots of

autophagy and all the science behind mitochondrial biogenesis or the
