Episode Summary

Ready to boost your energy and future-proof your health?

In this episode, I’m joined by expert neuroscientist Dr. Siobhan Mitchell, who breaks down why your mitochondria—the tiny powerhouses inside your cells—are the secret to healthy aging. 

She explains how the perimenopause and menopause transition is not just hormonal, but a neuroendocrine shift that impacts your brain, mood, energy, AND vitality. 

And even if you’re doing your best to bring on lifestyle recommendations for optimizing mitochondrial health, odds are you still need more support than just that in midlife. So, that’s where the supplement MitoQ comes into play. 

As MitoQ’s Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Mitchell reveals how this advanced antioxidant works deep inside your cells to enhance mitochondrial function, boosting mental clarity and long-term longevity. 

Tune in and discover how to fuel your energy, elevate your mood, and embrace midlife feeling stronger than ever!

QUOTES

“You get these overactive mitochondria that are also producing energy and oxidative stress at much higher levels, and these oxidative stress mechanisms can also bring on faster aging through inflammation and things like that.”

“[MitoQ] is basically helping protect your mitochondria from excessive oxidative stress. It gets into the mitochondria better than any other supplement on the market because it was especially engineered to have this tag that allows it to get into the mitochondria up to [about] 90%.”

Episode Summary

Have you heard all the hype around Urolithin A? 

In this episode, I sit down with expert integrative and functional nutritionist, Jennifer Scheinman, to dive into one of the most exciting breakthroughs in women’s health and longevity—Urolithin A. 

This little-known yet well-researched natural molecule has been shown in studies to significantly improve muscle strength and function, helping combat the age-related muscle decline so many of us experience in midlife. 

We’ll unpack how Urolithin A supports mitochondrial health—the very core of our energy production—so you can feel more vibrant and strong at every stage. 

Plus, Jennifer shares how topical Urolithin A can even target the internal and external signs of skin aging, giving your skin and cells a rejuvenating boost. 

Ready to feel vibrant, strong, and glow from the inside out? Tune in here to feel truly energized from the cellular level up!

IN THIS EPISODE

  1. What’s happening to women’s mitochondria with age 
  2. How declining hormones play a role in energy and appearance 
  3. Ways to optimize cellular function in midlife 
  4. Supplementing with Urolithin A, and how it helps your body 
  5. Research findings on Urolithin A and muscle health 
  6. Different forms of Urolithin A supplementation for your lifestyle 
  7. How topical application of Urolithin A helps your skin 
  8. Where and how to get your Mitopure (Urolithin A) with 20% off!

QUOTES

“Other things we saw in that study were improvements in things like inflammatory markers, which we know chronic inflammation is a huge issue as we start to get older. We saw specifically C-reactive protein was lowered, and we saw other markers of muscle health that, while they didn’t make statistical significance, they were trending that way.”

“It stays very potent and very localized– a benefit to the skin. So you’re having that same cellular turnover of the mitochondria, basically making the mitochondria in your skin act in a more youthful way.”

“Even just after 2 weeks, we start to see improvements that are visibly noticeable. And then when we take that out to 8 weeks, it’s statistically significant improvements in wrinkle reduction and in wrinkle depth. So, [it’s] really powerful but gentle.”

Episode Summary

Ever feel wired… yet exhausted? Or anxious… yet depleted?

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Dr. Scott Sherr, a visionary physician and expert in cutting-edge mitochondrial and nervous system healing, and he unpacks why so many women in midlife feel overstimulated and underpowered at the same time. 

We dive into the role of GABA, the calming neurotransmitter your body craves, and why it’s often depleted during midlife, contributing to the anxiety, insomnia, and mood dips that leave you feeling unlike yourself. 

Dr. Sherr also explains how mitochondrial dysfunction silently sabotages your energy, sleep, and even your joy—and what you can do to restore it naturally and effectively. 

This conversation is packed with practical, science-backed strategies to help you step out of the cycle of stress and burnout and into a state of calm, clear, vibrant energy.

  4. Supplementation to support the GABA system 
  5. How to support healing and enhance mitochondrial function 
  6. How methylene blue helps support mitochondrial function
  7. About Dr. Scott’s nonprofit: Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe)

QUOTES

“A big thing I’ve seen recently is tons of anxiety, tons of insomnia, tons of depression related to this inability to calm down, to turn our brains off. And some of those hormones that are transitioning as you go through the perimenopausal state are a big part of this.”

If we really want to focus on holistically improving your sleep, relationships, and energy,  the primary focus needs to be downregulating your sympathetic nervous system and increasing your parasympathetic with the GABA enhancement aspect.”

“That’s a really cool way of holistically enhancing the GABA system without causing GABA depletion or GABA deficiency on its own.”

QUOTES

“Healthy longevity means lowering systemic inflammation, and our vital life hormones– estradiol and progesterone– are really critical for that.” 

“When you have unhealthy mitochondria, or dying, damaged mitochondria, the effects are not just that you make less energy, which is huge, but you also don’t control the cell cycle.” 

“If you wanna live that beautiful, high-vitality, high-energized life in your 70s, 80s, and beyond…you talked about not even having issues until you’re in your mid-90s– then we absolutely have to be proactive.”
