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.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Get your free VIP ticket to the Perimenopause Solution event https://hayh.site/pr_bl_ap-snyder_a_snyder Order Mitopure (Urolithin A) at Timeline HERE with discount code ENERGIZED for 20% off your purchase!  https://⁠timeline.com/ENERGIZED Timeline on Instagram Jen Scheinman on Instagram  RELATED EPISODES  663: From Wired and Tired to Calm and Energized: The GABA-Mitochondria Connection + How to Fix It at the Cellular Level with Dr. Scott Sherr #653: Mitochondria, Menopause & Metabolism: The Cellular Secret to More Energy After 40 with Dr. Felice Gersh #623: Red Light Therapy for Upgrading Your Mitochondria, Cellular Energy, Skin and Brain Health with Jonathan Otto 595: How to Master Your Metabolism and Reverse Cellular Aging in Midlife + My Best Tips to Thrive with Dr. Mariza

In this masterclass episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Julie Faitg, Senior Manager of Applied Research and Regulatory Affairs at Timeline, to uncover how mitochondrial science is transforming the future of skin longevity.Dr. Feitge challenges the familiar “powerhouse” analogy, instead calling mitochondria the “CEO of the cell.” Far from passive energy producers, these organelles orchestrate communication, repair, and renewal—directly influencing collagen production, elasticity, and cellular resilience. “If your mitochondria aren't healthy,” she explains, “the entire cascade of cellular function begins to falter.”Through vivid analogies, Dr. Feitge describes how mitochondria behave differently across tissues—fueling endurance in muscles, focus in the brain, and regeneration in the skin. This adaptability, she notes, is what makes them the foundation of both vitality and longevity.The conversation dives into mitochondrial resilience, the skin's ability to repair and recover from stress. Aging begins when this resilience declines, leading to diminished energy, slower renewal, and visible signs of fatigue.Dr. Faitgd highlights Timeline's breakthrough ingredient, Mitopure® (Urolithin A)—a clinically validated compound that triggers mitophagy, the process of recycling damaged mitochondria. In trials, topical Mitopure® improved collagen expression, hydration, and firmness while reducing inflammation and UV-induced stress.Developed in Switzerland under rigorous safety and precision standards, Timeline's skincare line redefines beauty as m—a shift from treating the surface to revitalizing the source.

Send us a textThe biological roots of sleep are tied to mitochondrial metabolism.Episode Summary: Dr. Gero Miesenböck discusses the evolutionary and metabolic basis of sleep, exploring how mitochondrial energy production in neurons, particularly in fruit flies, drives the need for sleep to manage harmful byproducts like reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxides. They discuss how sleep-inducing neurons sense these byproducts, the role of mitochondrial dynamics, and the broader implications for why all animals, from jellyfish to humans, require sleep. The conversation also touches on how body size and metabolism influence sleep needs across species.About the guest: Gero Miesenböck, MD is a professor of physiology at the University of Oxford, renowned for his pioneering work in optogenetics and his research on the neurobiology of sleep using fruit flies and mice.Discussion Points:Sleep is universal across animals, even in jellyfish without centralized brains, suggesting a fundamental metabolic purpose tied to mitochondrial energy production.Mitochondria produce energy efficiently using oxygen but generate reactive oxygen species that can damage cells through lipid peroxidation, necessitating sleep to repair this damage.Sleep-inducing neurons in fruit flies contain sensors that track lipid peroxidation products, acting like a digital memory to signal when sleep is needed.Smaller animals with faster metabolisms, like mice, require more sleep and have shorter lifespans due to higher oxygen consumption and oxidative stress.Mitochondrial diseases in humans often cause intense tiredness, likely due to increased electron leaks in the mitochondrial energy production process.The evolutionary origin of sleep likely stems from the oxygen revolution 2.5 billion years ago, enabling complex life but requiring mechanisms like sleep to manage metabolic side effects.Caloric restriction reduces sleep need by lowering the production of harmful metabolic byproducts, supporting the link between metabolism and sleep.Reference paper:Study: Mitochondrial origins of the pressure to sleepRelated content:M&M 12: Organisms, Cities, Companies & the Science of Scale | Geoffrey West*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

Nick Lane has some pretty wild ideas about the evolution of life.He thinks early life was continuous with the spontaneous chemistry of undersea hydrothermal vents.Nick's story may be wrong, but I find it remarkable that with just that starting point, you can explain so much about why life is the way that it is — the things you're supposed to just take as givens in biology class:* Why are there two sexes? Why sex at all?* Why are bacteria so simple despite being around for 4 billion years? Why is there so much shared structure between all eukaryotic cells despite the enormous morphological variety between animals, plants, fungi, and protists?* Why did the endosymbiosis event that led to eukaryotes happen only once, and in the particular way that it did?* Why is all life powered by proton gradients? Why does all life on Earth share not only the Krebs Cycle, but even the intermediate molecules like Acetyl-CoA?His theory implies that early life is almost chemically inevitable (potentially blooming on hundreds of millions of planets in the Milky Way alone), and that the real bottleneck is the complex eukaryotic cell.Watch on YouTube; listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.Sponsors* Gemini in Sheets lets you turn messy text into structured data.

Molecular-medicine expert Dr. Nathan Bryan explains how nitric oxide (NO) protects the endothelium, drives vasodilation, and influences energy, immunity, hormones, and longevity. He links stubborn hypertension and poor exercise tolerance to the microbiome–NO axis and outlines common NO killers—antiseptic mouthwashes and fluoride overuse, chronic PPIs, ultra-processed diets, and inactivity. We cover practical restores (movement, nutrient-dense food, targeted micronutrients, careful PPI weaning, ditching antiseptic rinses) and preview clinical work on NO-releasing lozenges for ischemic heart disease, approaches to improve cerebral blood flow and insulin signaling in cognitive decline, and topical NO for chronic wounds. Bryan also touches on food quality (glyphosate, soil health), hormone synergy with NO, and NO-based skincare that supports perfusion and collagen. Bottom line: rebuild NO, and the body's own repair systems can finally do their job.(Educational only; not personal medical advice.)Guest BioNathan S. Bryan, PhD is a molecular medicine researcher and leading authority on nitric oxide (NO) biochemistry. Over two decades, he has mapped how the body generates and uses NO—and what happens when it doesn't—publishing widely, authoring multiple books, and translating discoveries into products and late-stage drug trials. His work spans cardiovascular health, metabolism, neurocognition, wound healing, and skin biology, with a focus on restoring NO as a foundation for repair. Dr. Bryan speaks globally on NO and leads development of NO-based therapeutics targeting ischemic heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and non-healing ulcers. GET SOCIAL WITH US!

In this Thyroid Answers Shorts episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage explores the critical role your mitochondria—the true powerhouses of your cells—play in thyroid health and recovery. Too often, thyroid care focuses solely on optimizing lab values like TSH, Free T4, or Free T3. But true recovery isn't about chasing numbers. It's about understanding what happens inside your cells. Dr. Balcavage explains how cellular stress impacts mitochondrial function, how this stress disrupts thyroid hormone conversion, and why patients can still feel hypothyroid even when their labs look “normal.” In this episode, you'll learn: Why mitochondria are the missing link in thyroid recovery. How cellular stress shifts thyroid physiology away from homeostasis. Why simply adding more T4 or T3 may provide temporary relief but rarely leads to lasting recovery. Practical ways to support mitochondrial health and improve thyroid function. Whether you're on thyroid medication, exploring functional medicine, or still searching for answers, this episode will help you understand why addressing mitochondrial health is essential for lasting thyroid recovery.

Send us a textHow nutrition and medications impact mitochondrial health.Wide release date: October 1, 2025.Episode Summary: Dr. Chris Masterjohn talks about the intricate relationships between nutrition, prescription drugs, and mitochondrial health, discussing how molecules like acetaminophen and SSRIs affect the body beyond their intended purposes, particularly impacting inflammation and energy metabolism. The discussion gets into the broader implications of serotonin outside the brain, the side effects of commonly used medications, and the importance of personalized nutritional strategies to optimize mitochondrial function.About the guest: Chris Masterjohn, PhD holds a doctorate in nutritional sciences and is a co-founder of Mitome, a company focused on mitochondrial testing to optimize cellular energy production.Discussion Points:Acetaminophen & Inflammation: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) may contribute to chronic low-grade inflammation by blocking both the initiation and resolution of inflammation, potentially linked to health issues like autism when used during pregnancy.Serotonin's Role Beyond the Brain: Approximately 95% of serotonin is found in the gut, regulating motility, with SSRIs causing side effects like nausea due to increased extracellular serotonin.SSRIs & Mitochondrial Function: SSRIs disrupt serotonin uptake into cells, reducing mitochondrial melatonin production, which impairs the body's ability to handle hypoxic stress and produce ATP efficiently.Statins & Mitochondrial Impact: Statins, used to lower cholesterol, inhibit the mevalonate pathway, affecting not just cholesterol but also CoQ10 and vitamin K2, crucial for mitochondrial function, potentially leading to side effects like myopathy.Mitochondrial Testing with Mitome: Masterjohn's company, Mitome, uses cheek swab tests to measure mitochondrial respiratory chain activity, providing personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations to optimize cellular energy production.Nutrition & Mental Health: Masterjohn shares his personal experience of severe mental health issues on a vegan diet, which improved dramatically with a nutrient-dense diet rich in organ meats, highlighting individual nutritional needs.Energy Metabolism's Universal Role: Mitochondrial ATP production governs everything from daily energy levels to long-term health, with personalized testing helping identify and address specific bottlenecks.*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

What if the secret to treating age-related diseases and extending healthy lifespan lies within tiny cellular structures that evolved from ancient bacteria? In this mind-expanding conversation, biochemist Dr. Natalie Yivgi-Ohana reveals how mitochondria—far more than mere cellular powerhouses—control everything from hormone production to programmed cell death.Dr. Yivgi-Ohana, founder of Minovia Therapeutics, takes us on a fascinating journey through mitochondrial science, explaining how these organelles became integrated into our cells over evolutionary history. "Mitochondria used to be bacteria that entered into the cell and formed this symbiosis," she explains, describing how this evolutionary leap enabled life to thrive in oxygen-rich environments. This bacterial heritage gives mitochondria unique properties, including their own DNA separate from our nuclear genome, which makes them both vulnerable to damage and potentially replaceable.The revolutionary approach Minovia has pioneered involves harvesting a patient's own stem cells, enriching them with young, healthy mitochondria from donor sources like placentas, and returning these energized cells to the patient. Unlike direct mitochondrial infusions, which pose risks of immune rejection, this method has shown remarkable safety and efficacy in clinical trials for both rare pediatric diseases and age-related conditions. "Seeing a child six and a half years old in a baby stroller and then two months later he's running in a shopping mall—it's unbelievable to see the impact," Dr. Yivgi-Ohana shares.Perhaps most surprising is the current lack of clinical testing for mitochondrial function, despite its crucial role in health. "The strongest signal for health is how well mitochondria are doing," Dr. Yivgi-Ohana emphasizes, predicting that within a decade, mitochondrial function testing will become as routine as checking hemoglobin levels. This could transform preventive medicine by identifying mitochondrial dysfunction before symptoms appear.Explore this frontier of cellular medicine that targets both mitochondrial and immune dysfunction—two major hallmarks of aging—simultaneously. Could rejuvenating our cellular batteries be the key to extending healthy lifespan? Listen now to discover how mitochondrial science is revolutionizing our understanding of aging and disease.https://minoviatx.com/Lies I Taught In Medical School : Free sample chapter- https://www.robertlufkinmd.com/lies/Complete Metabolic Heart Scan (LUFKIN20 for 20% off) https://www.innerscopic.com/Fasting Mimicking Diet (20% off) https://prolonlife.com/Lufkin At home blood testing (20% off) https://siphoxhealth.com/lufkinMimio Health (LUFKIN for 15% off) https://mimiohealth.sjv.io/c/5810114/2745519/30611 Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/X: https://x.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/robertLufkinmdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertlufkinmd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertlufkinmd/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@robertlufkinThreads: https://www.threads.net/@robertlufkinmdFacebook: ...

Dr Christabelle Yeoh, integrative medicine physician, joins Lisa Costa-Bir for a deep dive into mitochondria — the organelles influencing nearly every tissue and process in the body. Moving beyond the outdated “powerhouse of the cell” view, Dr Yeoh explains how mitochondria act as processors of energy and evolutionary sentinels of immunity, redox balance, and cellular plasticity. This episode explores how dysfunction manifests clinically — from fatigue and brain fog to autonomic dysregulation, poor vitamin D supplementation uptake, and maternal-line inheritance patterns. Dr Yeoh also shares practical “biophysics prescriptions”: exposure to sunrise and sunset, blocking blue light, eating only in daylight hours, grounding in nature, and regular movement to support mitochondrial quality control. Warm, engaging, and invested in her subject, Dr Yeoh empowers practitioners with insights that place mitochondrial health as the foundation for patient care — and shows why aligning with natural rhythms is essential for resilience and recovery.

In this special masterclass of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with Jamie Holmes, Chief Brand Officer of Timeline, to rethink skincare through the lens of longevity. Instead of chasing “anti-aging,” Timeline centers skin health span—keeping skin energetic, resilient, and vibrant for as long as possible. Holmes frames aging as a privilege and makes the case for supporting biology, not hiding it.At the heart of the conversation is Urolithin A, the postbiotic behind Timeline's proprietary MitoPure®. You'll hear how this molecule triggers mitophagy—the cellular cleanup that renews tired mitochondria—so skin can generate more energy and recover from stressors faster. After a decade of research in nutrition, Timeline translated the clinically precise dose into topicals, creating a tight edit of formulas that show measurable gains in hydration and elasticity in as little as 15 days.Jamie opens the lab door on formulation philosophy: no label dusting, just actives at proven concentrations, iterated for texture, absorption, and real-world performance. Even the details matter—the sustainable glass and aluminum, hygienic pumps, and that buttery-yellow hue that reflects MitoPure's natural color—turning daily care into a gender-inclusive ritual. The lineup is intentionally minimalist, designed to slip into any routine and serve both biohackers and skincare newcomers who want evidence over hype.If you're curious about mitochondria as the next frontier in beauty—or you're simply ready to trade quick fixes for cellular results—this episode is your guided tour.

In this highly requested follow-up, Dr. Arny Ferrando returns to the Optimal Protein Podcast to go even deeper into the science of preserving muscle and optimizing body composition. Dr. Ferrando is one of the world's leading researchers in muscle protein metabolism, with over 35 years of groundbreaking work on essential amino acids, anabolic resistance, and nutrition-exercise interactions. We kick things off with his perspective on Protein-Sparing Modified Fasts (PSMF) versus water fasting, and the implications each has for fat loss and lean mass preservation. Dr. Ferrando also shares his positive take on collagen supplementation, including how it can support connective tissue health, and weighs in on the potential risks of GLP-1 medications to muscle tissue during rapid weight loss. NEW! Support your strength and muscle goals with PUORI Creatine+ — a clean, effective creatine monohydrate supplement enhanced with magnesium and vitamin B12. Get 20% off at puori.com/VANESSA We kick things off with his perspective on Protein-Sparing Modified Fasts (PSMF) versus water fasting, and the implications each has for fat loss and lean mass preservation. Dr. Ferrando also shares his positive take on collagen supplementation, including how it can support connective tissue health, and weighs in on the potential risks of GLP-1 medications to muscle tissue during rapid weight loss. The heart of this episode dives into anabolic resistance during menopause. Dr. Ferrando explains why it may not just be about hormones, but also about impaired nutrient delivery to muscle. He describes amino acids as the “signal” and blood flow as the “delivery truck”—a powerful analogy that reveals why exercise is so critical to overcoming anabolic resistance. We explore practical strategies for women to preserve muscle and improve body composition during midlife and beyond, including: Why blood flow and nutrient delivery may matter as much as hormones. How red light therapy and blood flow restriction training (BFR) could enhance amino acid delivery and muscle responsiveness. His recommendations for EAA dosing, timing, and frequency in peri- and postmenopausal women. The role of microvascular health and endothelial function in muscle retention. Why free-form EAAs are more efficient than intact protein under calorie restriction. This conversation is packed with actionable science and myth-busting insights that will help you understand how to protect your muscle, burn fat, and stay strong at every stage of life.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 9: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Of course Trump’s not dead. On the other hand, how could you really TELL? But this much is clear: He’s never voluntarily STFU for five days before in his effing life. And how could his own White House have possibly made it look MORE like he was dead! Or is desperately ill. Or had surgery. Or is having surgery. Or… what? They maximized the ways that conspiracy theories could build – including that 3-1/2 hour Cabinet Meeting/Comedy Roast/Dear Leader Circle Jerk last week. If that didn’t look like a farewell event I don’t know what could. I don't know what's really going on and YOU don't know what's really going on and America doesn't know what's really going on (except that the media has completely dropped the ball, not even covering the rumors let alone providing solid information). But there are lots of provable facts in the last five days of Trump MIA that might explain what's going on at a White House that couldn't manage radio silence. PLUS: Trump's desire to boast about the Covid vaccine, the hallucinations of Kristi Noem and Bobby "What Kind of Mitochondria Are You Wearing" Kennedy, the solution to baseball's Tommy John Surgery crisis that isn't a crisis, and a farewell to the beloved Mrs. Weiner. B-Block (32:50) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: As soon as the staff of Vanity Fair threatened to walk off if they put Melania Trump on the cover, she leaked a story to the NY Post that she didn't have time to be on their stupid cover anyway (she was on it in 2017). Candace Owens is back and now blaming the Minnesota school shooting on the government bid to take away your guns. So Trump is trying to take away your guns? And expanding kinda late into 9/11 trutherism, nitwit fascist Tucker Carlson gets the YEAR that 9/11 happened, wrong. C-Block (43:20) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL/SPORTSBALL CENTER: So another all-star baseball pitcher, Randy Rodriguez, needs Tommy John Surgery. So baseball is back with preposterous solutions to the "crisis" of too many such surgeries. I'll offer two rules changes that would really do the job, but more importantly I would suggest that Tommy John Surgery is one of the most positive improvements in baseball in the last 60 years. The same percentage of pitchers get injured as they did in 1965, only in 1965 there was nothing to do when they tore up their elbow, shoulder, or anything else.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alzheimer's is not inevitable—and it may even be optional. In this groundbreaking episode, you'll learn how to prevent, slow, and in some cases reverse cognitive decline using strategies that also enhance brain optimization, metabolism, and longevity. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey is joined by Dr. Dale Bredesen, a world-renowned neurologist and leading Alzheimer's researcher who has published over 240 peer-reviewed papers. Dr. Bredesen has spent decades proving that Alzheimer's is not a one-pathway disease but a network failure driven by inflammation, toxins, and mitochondrial dysfunction. His protocol has helped thousands of patients regain memory, extend healthspan, and reclaim brain performance. Together, they unpack how biohacking tools like fasting, ketosis, supplements, sleep optimization, cold therapy, and functional medicine can rewire neuroplasticity, protect mitochondria, and keep the brain in “connection mode” instead of decline. You'll hear why the pharmaceutical industry resists these solutions, how toxins like Paraquat and mold fuel cognitive decline, and what young people can do right now to bulletproof their brains for life. This episode is essential listening if you care about hacking human performance, upgrading metabolism, or extending longevity. You'll walk away with practical strategies you can use today—whether that means optimizing your mitochondria with nootropics, strengthening resilience with smarter not harder recovery, or fueling your brain with Danger Coffee. You'll Learn: • Why Alzheimer's can begin as early as your 20s and what biomarkers to track • The seven major drivers of Alzheimer's and how to reverse them with biohacking strategies • How APOE4 genetics, toxins, and inflammation accelerate brain aging—and what to do about it • The role of mitochondria, ketosis, and fasting in restoring brain optimization and neuroplasticity • Why prevention is exponentially easier than reversal and the top three actions you should start in your 20s • How to avoid “learned helplessness” in medicine and reclaim control over your brain span and longevity Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.
