I used to assume conception began at the first sign of pregnancy — until I learned about Trimester Zero. The 100-day window before conception may be the most powerful period in shaping your baby's lifelong health — and your own. In this minisode, I sit down with Vida Delrahim and Ronit Menashe, co-founders of WeNatal, to unpack what science now calls the pre-pregnancy trimester. We talk about how both women and men can dramatically influence fertility and genetics before conception through nutrition, lifestyle, and the health of one mighty organelle — the mitochondria.This episode features highlights from our full conversation, which premiered August 12th, 2025. Watch the full episode here → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gztCFH603g About the guests:After experiencing miscarriages just a week apart, best friends Vida and Ronit were devastated — and confused. Both were healthy, both on prenatal vitamins, and yet doctors dismissed their losses as “random” or “age-related.” They partnered with leading experts, pored over research, and created a science-backed prenatal system for both women and men. What began as a personal mission has grown into WeNatal — a movement giving couples the knowledge, tools, and products to support conception, pregnancy, and the lifelong health of future generations. *** Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.

Send us a textSummary: I unpack why medicine sometimes reverses course—and how you can tell sound evidence from shiny anecdotes—with physician-author Dr. Adam Cifu of the University of Chicago and co-author of Ending Medical Reversal.Key topics & takeawaysWhy medicine “flips”: Plausible theories + observational data → premature guidelines; true answers require randomized trials. Classic examples: menopausal hormone therapy, early peanut avoidance, and stents for stable angina (LEAP trial, COURAGEOpen-minded skepticism: Ask, “What's the human outcomes evidence?” Cool mechanisms and moving testimonials aren't proof.Hype outside the clinic: Mitochondria “rechargers,” microbiome panaceas, and biological age tests are intriguing—but not ready for prime time.Nutrition sanity:  For supplement evidence summaries, I like Examine.When AI helps (and when it doesn't): Tools can orient you to established topics; they're weaker on breaking studies. Look for linked primary sources.N-of-1 experiments: When evidence is uncertain and the outcome is measurable (sleep, blood pressure, pain), test on yourself—track a baseline, try the change, measure again, and, if possible, stop-start to confirm. Use symptom diaries, validated scales, or wearables.Humility is a signal: Trust sources that sometimes conclude “we don't know.” I often check Cochrane Reviews for balanced syntheses.About my guest Adam Cifu, MD is a professor of medicine at the University of Chicago, author of 140+ peer-reviewed papers, and co-author of Ending Medical Reversal.

In this episode of the Ageless Future Podcast, Cade Archibald explores how white adipose tissue (white fat) can be transformed into metabolically active brown fat to improve energy, fat loss, and overall health. He explains how excess white fat impairs mitochondrial function and nitric oxide production—two keys to aging and vitality. Cade discusses practical strategies like cold exposure, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and mitochondrial-boosting peptides (including MOTS-c, Epitalon, and Adipotide). He also reviews a fascinating animal study showing Adipotide reduced abdominal fat by 27% and improved insulin sensitivity by 50% in just 28 days. Listeners are challenged to try cold showers, HIIT, and energy tracking for better metabolic function and cellular health.www.agelessfuture.comLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/

Mentor Sessions Ep. 037: Michael Morelli on Rock Bottom Addiction Recovery, Building a Bitcoin-Powered Fitness Empire, Parallels to Sound Money & Radical LongevityMichael Morelli's Bitcoin journey mirrors his brutal addiction recovery: from high more than sober for a decade, snorting oxycodone amid bankruptcy and affairs, to a 113-day shred from 25% to 8% body fat—bootstrapping FitScript into a multimillion-dollar data-driven health empire coaching 600+ men with peak biomarkers while stacking BTC as a maxi since 2020. Inspired by Saifedean Ammous' "The Bitcoin Standard," Morelli draws logical parallels between paleo nutrition's ancestral simplicity and Bitcoin's finite, sound money—why it's the only asset that "just seems logical" in a fiat-fueled health and wealth disparity crisis. In this BTC Sessions interview, he busts carnivore myths (labs "fucking wrecked"), unpacks peptides for faster gains, red light therapy hacks, and his no-excuses mantra: if a coke-addicted bankrupt can rebuild to live until 150, stacking sats with low-time preference, Bitcoiners have zero excuses for subpar health.

Send us a textHow mitochondria travel between cells and how this hidden communication shapes metabolism, immunity, and even potential therapies.Episode Summary: Dr. Jon Brestoff talks about mitochondrial dynamics inside cells, their transfer between unrelated cells (distinct from inheritance during division), and its roles in adipose tissue communication, macrophage cleanup, and systemic metabolic signaling; they explore how high-fat diets disrupt this process, potential hormetic benefits, therapeutic mitochondria transplantation for diseases like Leigh syndrome and obesity, and broader immunometabolism crosstalk.About the guest: Jon Brestoff, MD, PhD is an associate professor of pathology and immunology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, where he directs the Initiative for Immunometabolism.Discussion Points:Mitochondria per cell range from ~100-5000; they move via fusion/fission, vertical inheritance (cell division), or horizontal transfer without division.Transfer mechanisms: free release, extracellular vesicles, or tunneling nanotubes using cytoskeleton transport.In healthy fat tissue, adipocytes routinely donate mitochondria to macrophages for degradation (quality control); high-fat (lard-based, long-chain FA) diets block macrophage uptake, diverting mitochondria to other organs.Diverted mitochondria may induce “mito-hormesis” (mild oxidative stress boosting antioxidants) or signal adipocyte metabolic status inter-organ.Mitochondria transplantation shows promise in animal models for ischemia-reperfusion, obesity, and mitochondrial diseases.Immune cells prefer glycolysis but have low mitochondrial biomass; transplanted mitochondria tilt T-cells toward anti-inflammatory regulatory phenotype.Circulating cell-free mitochondria rival immune cell numbers.Obesity inflammation stems from dying oversized adipocytes releasing lipids/mitochondria, forming crown-like structures with pro-inflammatory macrophages.Leigh syndrome from genetic mutations disrupting the electron transport chain.Transfer may be an evolutionary relic of endosymbiosis; cells may selectively use exogenous mitochondria like a “generator” during metabolic crisis.Reference Paper:Study: The power and potential of mitochondria transferRelated Episode:M&M 260: Energy Resistance Principle in Life, Healing & Disease | Martin Picard & Nirosha MuruganSupport 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.

Send us a textA biophysical rethink of life, health, and disease through the lens of the Energy Resistance Principle (ERP).Episode Summary: A reframe of biology as energy flow through resistance rather than mere molecular machinery, introducing the Energy Resistance Principle (ERP): life requires a Goldilocks balance of electron flow from food to oxygen via mitochondria; too much or too little resistance drives aging, disease, and death. Explain mitochondria as energy transformers, link ERP to insulin resistance, psychiatric disorders, and healing, and explore health as a dynamic field-like state optimized by flux modulation.About the guest: Nirosha Murugan, PhD is a biophysicist studying how physical signals pattern biology to decode and reprogram health; Martin Picard, PhD is a mitochondrial psychobiologist at Columbia University, exploring how mitochondrial energy dynamics connect to human experiences, health, and healing. They collaborate on biophotons, light emission, and multi-scale energy signaling.Discussion Points:Mitochondria transform electrons from food into versatile electricity via proton gradients.Energy Resistance Principle: transformation needs resistance; chronic high resistance causes dissipative heat, damage, aging.GDF15 cytokine signals mitochondrial stress to brain, triggering energy conservation/mobilization.Insulin resistance: adaptive defense against electron overload, reversible by fasting/exercise.Psychiatric illness: excess brain energy resistance; exercise, keto, psychedelics redistribute flux.Health: dynamic optimization of energy resistance, not absence of disease.Healing: daily recovery from micro-damage via balanced resistance.Future: energy-based diagnostics/therapies (light, TMS) over molecule-only drugs.*Not medical advice.Reference Paper: The energy resistance principleRelated Episode:M&M 70: Mitochondria, Aging, Cellular Energy, Metabolism, Gray Hair Reversal & Brain-Body Communication | Martin PicardSupport 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.

Creatine's story has been far too small for its biology. Most people still see it as a supplement for strength or cognitive performance, but its most important work happens inside the mitochondria.In this episode, we explore a side of creatine few people talk about: how it may function as mitochondrial medicine. We'll break down 3 distinct ways creatine acts in and supports the mitochondria; roles that could reshape how we think about energy, resilience, and cellular health.  And beyond that, how creatine may be one of the few molecules that can both diagnose and treat mitochondrial dysfunction. 00:00 Understanding Mitochondrial Dysfunction00:43 Introduction to Creatine's Role01:16 Mitochondrial Dysfunction Explained01:56 Creatine as a Theranostic Agent02:57 Mechanisms of Creatine in Mitochondria04:09 Therapeutic Roles of Creatine05:22 Redox Control and Antioxidant Properties06:27 Conclusion: The Unique Power of Creatine PMID: 40948982

Here I explain the lymphatic system, a crucial bodily network for overall health and appearance. I explain how the lymphatic system works to remove cellular waste and fluid from your organs and combat infections. I provide science-based tools that support your lymphatic system for the sake of health and appearance, including: how to reduce fluid retention in your limbs, trunk or face, how to eliminate 'bags' under your eyes and brain fog, and how to improve cardiac health and longevity. Because your lymphatic system lacks a central pump, it needs the mechanical forces generated by specific types of bodily movement, breathing and pressure to circulate your lymph properly, and I explain how you can activate these. I also explain how to support optimal functioning of your glymphatic system, a brain- and spinal cord waste-clearing system active during sleep that is crucial for brain functioning and longevity, including to prevent dementia.

EPOC Explained: The Afterburn Effect That Boosts Metabolism and MitochondriaClick On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!Episode Summary: Boosting Energy and Mitochondria Efficiency with HIT and EPOCIn this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams dives deep into how High-Intensity Training (HIT) and Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) can reignite energy levels, boost metabolism, and increase mitochondrial efficiency—especially important for those of us over 40.After recovering from hernia surgery, Brad shares his experience noticing a drop in calorie burn and energy output on his Whoop tracker. He explains how this decline connected to reduced mitochondrial activity from skipping HIT sessions. Turning to ChatGPT for insights, Brad explores how HIT stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis—the process of creating new mitochondria—by pushing the body to oxygen debt and triggering powerful recovery processes afterward.He breaks down the “afterburn effect” (EPOC), explaining how intense bursts of effort force the body to consume extra oxygen post-workout to restore balance, repair tissue, and boost metabolism for up to 36 hours. Brad also compares Zone 2 cardio (steady-state fat burning) with Zone 5 HIT (maximum heart rate, short bursts) and why both are crucial for longevity and efficiency.Listeners will learn:How HIT drives more calorie burn and mitochondrial density than slower workouts.The science behind EPOC and why it's a key to sustained fat loss.How to structure HIT for maximum efficiency (e.g., 30 seconds all-out, 90 seconds rest).Why adding weights or masks during HIT can actually reduce heart rate and efficiency.The importance of balancing intensity with recovery to avoid cortisol spikes and fatigue.Brad wraps up by sharing his plan to reintroduce weekly HIT sessions—short, bodyweight-based, and focused purely on speed and heart rate—to reignite energy and optimize his mitochondria naturally before turning back to supplements.

In this episode, we explore the connections between Autism and Parkinson's, focusing particularly on the basal ganglia and its substructures, notably the substantia nigra within the midbrain. We discuss how the substantia nigra, known for its high concentration of neuromelanin, plays a critical role in these disorders. The episode examines how neuromelanin, a dark pigment, not only absorbs all frequencies of light but also has antioxidant properties, binds metals, and acts as a neuroprotector. This discussion leads into the broader implications of environmental signals, particularly light, on human biology, touching on how modern changes in light exposure might affect these conditions.We examine the role of tyrosine in the synthesis of neuromelanin and its derivatives like dopamine, which are crucial for neural function. We look at how deficiencies or imbalances in these pathways could lead to the symptoms observed in Autism and Parkinson's, including motor function issues. The conversation also covers the direct and indirect pathways in the basal ganglia, explaining how these pathways facilitate or inhibit movement, respectively, and how their dysfunction can manifest in the characteristic motor symptoms of both disorders. We also touch on the significance of thyroid function, particularly the roles of T3 and T4 hormones, in brain development and neuron health, tying these elements back to the overarching theme of energy loss and transduction in both Autism and Parkinson's.Autism and Parkinson's are a lack of, or a loss of, energy.Biological Energy: Quantum Mechanisms, Water, DHA, and NF-kB: https://youtu.be/2-IA_gunXbwDaylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off athttps://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismChroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount athttps://getchroma.co/?ref=autismCognity AI for Autistic Social Skills, use "autism" for 10% discount athttps://thecognity.com0:00 Autism and Parkinson's; Basal Ganglia; Substantia Nigra; Neuromelanin; Internal Calculators2:15 Tyrosine; Chromophores; Aromatic Amino Acids3:50 Biological Energy; Mitochondria; Environmental Signals; Cytochrome C Oxidase; Autism Research Miss6:20 Deep Brain Stimulation6:48 Neuromelanin9:02 Reverse Engineer ATPase10:48 Tree Examples11:45 Hypoxia and loss of energy & dopamine12:26 Eyes, hair, & skin; RPE; efficiency & power; What is Light?13:58 Light; Information & Energy; electromagnetic; wave-particle duality; sunlight versus artificial light17:08 Thyroid; T3 & T4; Iodine18:31 Roles of T323:00 Loss of energy in the womb & Autism research25:00 Melanin + Water = Electrons26:40 Basal Ganglia; "Motivations" & Movements; Direct Pathway30:55 Indirect Pathway32:52 Go, No-Go; Action selection, learning & habits; fine motor skills34:18 Parkinson's and loss of timing & energy; modulating the two pathways & dopamine37:07 Reviews/Ratings & contact infoX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

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.
