In Episode 175 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Dr. A talks with neuroscientist and MitoQ Chief Science Officer Dr. Siobhan Mitchell about one of the most powerful — and overlooked — drivers of women's health after 40: mitochondrial function. She shares how her grandmother's Alzheimer's diagnosis inspired her career and why the latest science points to mitochondria, oxidative stress, and “inflammaging” as core players in memory, energy, and healthy aging.You'll learn how exercise, smart intervals, fasting, MCT oils, CoQ10, vitamin C, and mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants like MitoQ can help your cells produce cleaner energy, recover faster, and better protect your brain, heart, and muscles. Dr. Mitchell also breaks down what human studies actually show about MitoQ and other mitochondrial supports like PQQ, NAC, and NAD boosters.If you're a busy mom or midlife woman who wants steady energy, clearer thinking, and stronger training results without burning out your system, this conversation will give you a science-backed roadmap.Key TakeawaysMitochondria = powerhouses and “CEOs” of the cellOxidative stress & “inflammaging” drive faster agingBalance matters: not too much, not too little mitochondrial activityExercise (especially intervals) trains mitochondrial resilienceFasting & ketones trigger autophagy and longevity pathwaysMCTs (especially C8/C10) support ketones and brain functionCoQ10 is essential but poorly delivered into mitochondria via standard supplementsMitoQ = mitochondria-targeted CoQ10 derivative with human dataStudies: better power output, recovery, and less exercise-induced DNA damageVitamin C, magnesium, B12 often need supplement support with ageNAC, PQQ, NAD boosters, and urolithin A: promising but mixed dataNo magic bullets: stack smart supplements on top of fundamentalsMore About MitoQ and Dr. Siobhan MitchellWebsite: https://www.mitoq.com/Use code FITFAMILY at checkout for 10% off your purchaseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MitoQ/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mitoq/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/MitoQHealthX: https://twitter.com/Mito_QTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mitoqPodcast: Cell Me About It https://open.spotify.com/show/2Bbc0Oi5ypbui2voVpnCxf?si=40f849b961d041ffDr. Siobhan Mitchell's Email: smitchell@mitoq.comBiographical Information on Dr. Siobhan MitchellDr. Siobhan Mitchell, PhD is the chief scientific officer of MitoQ with over 25 years of research experience in how nutrition impacts brain aging, metabolic health, and longevity.

Jak PEPSI niemal rozpętała WOJNĘ DOMOWĄ? Śmiertelna PROMOCJA PepsiCo #MrocznaStrona

Prebiotic cola, plant-based (and AI-inspired?) pulled chicken and protein-packed marshmallows. The hosts crack open Pepsi's new prebiotic cola and discuss whether a stevia-sweetened "functional" soda can win over classic cola fans. They also dig into Just Meat's big win at Walmart and what it says about the future of meat analogs, and why protein marshmallows might actually work in your next s'more. Show notes: 0:25: Rotten Roaches. The BevNET Bowls. Cloying & Fibrous. Who's Eating This Stuff? S'More, Please. – Jacqui explains why there is a bright red "biohazard" bag on her desk and the hosts joke about modern marketing tactics. They pivot to a preview of the upcoming NOSH Live, BevNET Live and  Brewbound Live events, highlighting opportunities for founders to meet retailers, investors, and strategic partners. They sample PepsiCo's newly launched Pepsi Prebiotic – a lower-calorie, stevia-sweetened soda that comes in classic cola and cherry vanilla flavors – and opine on the minimalist white cans and whether Pepsi has clearly communicated the benefits. The hosts then discuss JUST Meat's newly launched plant-based pulled chicken, which is now available in four flavors at 3,000 Walmart stores, which sparks a debate about whether mainstream shoppers truly want meat analogs, and how clean-label concerns are shaping the category. Shifting gears, Ray highlights news that BeatBox Beverages – the colorful, party-forward, wine-based cocktail brand – is rumored to be an acquisition target by AB InBev in a deal reportedly worth around $700 million. Ray introduces Primal Sweets' protein marshmallows, which contain 25 grams of protein per bag and no sugar, and Albero D'oro cocktail cherries, before Jacqui presents Flour + Water's artisanal pasta, and Mike praises Hiyo's new pineapple coconut "social tonic."

Did you know that PepsiCo has approximately 70% more packaged beverage SKUs than The Coca-Cola Company…but is generating roughly 15% less retail sales? That was just one of numerous fascinating insights included within the 75-page presentation Elliott Investment Management recently sent to PepsiCo board of directors. After building a $4 billion stake in PepsiCo, the well-known activist investor is urging the CPG giant to evaluate the potential refranchising of its bottling network…while streamlining its portfolio by divesting non-core and underperforming assets. Additionally, Elliott criticized the PepsiCo packaged beverages division for lagging behind principal competitors…despite a consistent flow of flashy (large) M&A deals. And if you're wondering what that means for the recent “trade” between PepsiCo and Celsius Holdings, Elliott “thinks that the sale of the Rockstar Energy brand is a step in the right direction to simplify the portfolio.”

Pepsico has announced "naked Doritos" and other "naked" products without all the color and flavor enhancers that have poisoned people for years. They say the product will taste the same. Instead of celebrating this and giving the a pass, we should instead boycott the company permanently for lying and participating in a public health crisis which is being exported globally. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Americans are currently besotted with protein. It's touted as being good for muscle growth, weight loss, skincare, mental acuity, longevity, and much else besides. It's sold to men, women, children, the elderly— you can even buy protein for your pets. The protein supplement market alone is worth $21 billion and growing—and extra protein is being added to coffee, cereal, pasta, beer, ice cream, and popcorn. But as frenzied as we currently are about protein, this is not the first protein boom—or even the second. Protein has been promoted as a charismatic, cure-all nutrient for nearly two centuries. In this episode, with the help of Samantha King and Gavin Weedon, the authors of Protein: The Making of a Nutritional Superstar, we look closely at all our protein crazes and their associated protein products—from beef tea to whey powder—and see what they can tell us about our current protein mania.  This episode was produced by Max Freedman. Decoder Ring is also produced by Willa Paskin, Katie Shepherd, and Evan Chung, our supervising producer. We had editing support from Josh Levin and fact-checking by Sophie Summergrad.

This week, we're joined by Jon “JMo” Morgenstern, Head of Investment at VaynerMedia, who manages over $1.5B in annual media spend across brands like Oreo/Mondelez, JP Morgan Chase, PepsiCo, and Yeti. JMo breaks down how enterprise advertisers think about channel mix, retail media, and allocating capital across Meta, TikTok, CTV, Amazon, and Walmart and what DTC operators can learn from teams working at that scale.From there, we dive deep into measurement.

Aldair, alias "El Pollo", tenía el talento para llegar a Primera División con el Club América. Desde los 7 años mostró habilidades excepcionales que lo llevaron desde las escuelas de fútbol hasta Segunda División en Coapa. Sin embargo, a los 16 años, una lesión de rodilla y la falta de recursos económicos truncaron su sueño.00:00:00 - 00:02:24 | El deportista tras las rejas / The athlete behind bars00:02:24 - 00:06:13 | Infancia y ascenso en el Club América / Childhood and rise at Club América00:06:13 - 00:08:32 | La lesión que destruyó mi carrera / The injury that destroyed my career00:08:32 - 00:24:36 | Malas amistades y la Santa Muerte / Bad friends and Santa Muerte00:24:36 - 00:29:26 | El robo que me dio 17 años / The robbery that gave me 17 years----------------------Aldair, aka "El Pollo" (The Chicken), had the talent to make it to Mexico's top league with Club América. From age 7, he showed exceptional skills that took him from local soccer schools all the way to América's second division team in Coapa. But at 16, a knee injury and lack of money crushed his dream.--------------La necesidad de dinero lo llevó a jugar por fuera del club, ocultando su situación. Cuando el apoyo institucional disminuyó, comenzó a juntarse con amistades equivocadas que lo introdujeron al consumo de marihuana y alcohol. Esta espiral lo llevó a estar presente en el momento equivocado: lo acusaron de robar una camioneta de PepsiCo junto con otros jóvenes, aunque él asegura que solo buscaban bebidas para cotorrear.Hoy, con 27 años y casi una década en prisión cumpliendo una sentencia de 17 años, El Pollo se ha convertido en el máximo goleador del penal donde viven 5 mil internos. Juega futbol todos los días, ha recibido visitas de futbolistas profesionales como Raúl Jiménez, y sueña con volver a las canchas cuando recupere su libertad. Esta es la historia de un talento desperdiciado por las circunstancias, pero que no ha dejado de patear el balón.-------------------Desperate for money, he started playing for other teams on the side, hiding it from the club. When their support dried up, he fell in with the wrong crowd who got him into weed and drinking. That downward spiral put him in the wrong place at the wrong time: he was accused of stealing a PepsiCo delivery truck with some other guys, though he swears they were just looking to grab some drinks to hang out.Today, at 27 and almost a decade into his 17-year sentence, El Pollo has become the top scorer in a prison with 5,000 inmates. He plays soccer every day, gets visits from pro players like Raúl Jiménez, and dreams of getting back on the field when he gets out.This is the story of wasted talent shaped by circumstances, but a guy who never stopped kicking the ball.--------------------Para ver episodios exclusivos, entra aquí: https://www.patreon.com/Penitencia_mx¿Quieres ver los episodios antes que nadie?

  When a PepsiCo-trained behavioral scientist crashes the studio, things get weird…and wildly useful. In this episode, Will Leach walks us through the emotional math behind why customers buy, why brands plateau, and why most marketers have their goals entirely backward.  We dig into why value ≠ "saving money," how DiGiorno tricked America by anchoring against delivery pizza, why buyers change personalities between Monday and Friday, and the surprising reason your brand matters way less than you think. Come for the spicy takes on Coke vs Pepsi, stay for the "Batman vs Utility Belt" analogy that will permanently change how you write ads. If you've ever wondered why your logical pitches flop, why people buy cowboy hats during burnout, or how to outmaneuver giants without outspending them — this episode is a masterclass in real human behavior, not the stuff your personas pretend.

Can Celsius Holding navigate the hidden energy drinks market risks involving the Alani Nu and PepsiCo DSD distribution swap? Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ: CELH) had quarterly revenue of $725.1 million, which was up 173% YoY. Excluding the Alani Nu acquisition-related financial impact, CELSIUS brand revenue grew 44% YoY. And if you were wondering about Alani Nu, it's second quarter revenue was $332 million…which equates to around 99% YoY growth! According to Circana last 13-week retail sales data, CELSIUS increased by 31% YoY...remaining the third-largest energy drink brand in the category with a dollar share of 11.2%. Alani Nu increased retail sales 114% YoY and is now the dominant fourth player in the U.S. energy drinks market with dollar share of 7.2%. And Rockstar Energy retail sales decreased 9% YoY and is the seventh-largest U.S. energy drink with dollar share of 2.4%. If we look at Celsius Holdings combined brand portfolio, it reached 20.8% of dollar share for the last 13-week period...ranking it third and trailing only Red Bull and the combined Monster Beverage portfolio. Additionally, if you were to consider the last 52-week period ending July 20, 2025…Celsius Holdings retail sales surpassed $5 billion. Celsius Holdings has experienced massive growth in convenience stores, foodservice (e.g. fast food restaurants), mass retailers like Walmart, the club channel in retailers like Costco, and the Amazon marketplace. And international expansion presents significant opportunity for incremental growth over the next three to five years. With the Celsius brand basically at full distribution now…growth will be unlocked through a strategic growth framework that John Fieldly recently branded as “more people,” “more places,” and “more often.” The other major aspect of “Celsius Holdings and PepsiCo strengthening its long-term strategic partnership” comes into play, as Alani Nu will move into the PepsiCo DSD distribution system (officially starting in December). Everyone knew the most obvious decision to optimize for a “short-term reward” was Celsius Holdings transitioning Alani Nu from its piecemealed national (mostly independent) DSD network to the PepsiCo system. However, I can't fault Celsius Holdings for making A LOT of noise by effectively “pulling off the biggest “trade” the U.S. energy drinks market has seen over the past decade.” But it's the question around “timing” that has me fired up! But it's time for Celsius Holdings to prepare…because winter is coming! Firstly, Celsius Holdings efficiently must handle market challenges stemming from swapping Alani Nu distribution rights. Next, Celsius Holdings must successfully catch the Rockstar Energy proverbial falling knife. Then, the shift to zero sugar, functional energy drinks, has essentially fueled one of the fastest-growing segments in beverage…and Celsius Holdings had been unequivocally defining it. Yet, with the addition of Rockstar Energy, Celsius Holdings must now reorient itself top to bottom around being a total energy portfolio…and not a performance-forward and modern energy portfolio that possesses this powerful “challenger mindset.”

Almost two decades after 50 Cent reportedly made around $100 million from the Coca-Cola and Vitaminwater M&A transaction, his “equity instead of traditional endorsement fees” deal structure has become commonplace within today's influencer partnerships involving emerging CPG brands. But one of the greatest success stories in recent years involves the popular influencer Alix Earle and modern soda brand Poppi. And though Alix Earle declined to share the size of her stake, her father/manager confirmed that his daughter chose to work with Poppi on an equity basis (along with investing some of her own capital). Moreover, that equity was converted “at a pretty significant gain” in March 2025 when PepsiCo announced its agreement to acquire Poppi for $1.95 billion. However, and maybe providing an even more lucrative “woulda coulda shoulda” example…that same M&A transaction included Josh Richards, another popular internet personality who stated a handful of years ago that he wanted to be the “first influencer billionaire.” Josh Richards participated in the Poppi August 2021 fundraising round (a few years before Alix Earle) but also signed a “marketing services for equity” type contract in 2020. Though, Josh Richards didn't get paid out from it…and he's reportedly suing Poppi for an alleged breach of contract involving that unpaid portion of vested equity. All I know is Poppi better hope Dave Portnoy doesn't go all scorched earth on them…as he appears to be extremely protective of his former co-hosts on the BFFs podcast.

Tia Newcomer is the CEO of CaringBridge, a nonprofit providing a vital digital platform where families can communicate, receive support, and rally their communities during health journeys. With a career that spans Revlon, PepsiCo., Hewlett-Packard, and multiple health tech ventures, Tia brings a rich background from the for-profit world into the heart of the nonprofit sector, or as she prefers to call it, the for-impact space. In this episode of The Wow Factor, Brad sits down with Tia to unpack her career journey across four pivotal pillars, from consumer goods to tech, healthcare, and now mission-driven leadership. She shares how personal experiences, including her husband's fight with cancer and her own sense of purpose, led her to take a surprising leap into nonprofit leadership. Tia discusses the real-world impact of CaringBridge on hundreds of thousands of families every day, the technology powering it, and how "ministry pace" just won't cut it when the stakes are this high. She also dives deep into why entrepreneurial thinking, business rigor, and cross-sector collaboration are essential in the nonprofit space. "The difference between nonprofit and for-profit is a tax status. The skillset? It's the same." – Tia Newcomer "In moments of crisis, people don't need 'let me know how I can help.' They need tangible action." – Tia Newcomer "If I'm spending the majority of my time working, it better be fulfilling. That's the leap I made." – Tia Newcomer This Week on The Wow Factor: Tia's four career pillars: Consumer Goods, Technology, Women's Health, and Nonprofit Why leaving HP was her wake-up call to find purpose in her work Her perspective on for-impact vs. nonprofit leadership How CaringBridge grew to 300,000 daily users with only 40 employees The real story behind the CaringBridge platform and its founder Why technology for good is more essential than ever The burden of "just let me know how I can help" and what to say instead The power of one person raising their hand to share updates and mobilize care Partnering with GoFundMe to raise over $10M directly for patients and families The role of generosity, from emotional support to meals, transportation, and funds Tia Newcomer's Word of Wisdom: Leadership is about building something that matters and having the courage to follow the nudge, even when it's outside your comfort zone.

What Does Not?; Stress Free for Good: Ten Scientifically Proven Life Skills for Health and Happiness; New Medicine: How to Integrate Conventional and Alternative Medicine for the Safest and Most Effective Treatment and Change Your Genes – Change Your Life: Creating Optimal Health with the New Science ofEpigenetics.Key TakeawaysEpigenetics is a relatively new science, developed in the last 15 years. Epigenetics are all of the influences that determine our health, wellbeing, and life expectancy after the sperm and ovum unite. Epigenetics plays a crucial role in determining health and life expectancy – 95 % of health, illness, and life expectancy are due to factors other than our genes. The role of diet, stress, physical activity and social support significantly influence genetic expression.There are no longitudinal studies for biohacking. Don'tgo into the periphery and engage in questionable practices. Sort hope from hype.Equal criteria for evaluating the outcomes of alternative and conventional medicine must be applied; both should be held to the same rigorous scientific standards to ensure their acceptability and effectiveness.
