🔹 About This Episode:
What if the real driver behind fatigue, hormone imbalance, brain fog, inflammation, and accelerated aging isn’t your hormones alone—but your mitochondria? Dr. Taz Bhatia joins me to explore why mitochondrial health may be the missing link behind fatigue, hormone imbalance, inflammation, brain fog, and accelerated aging—especially in women. We discuss how stress, lifestyle, and declining cellular energy affect hormones, metabolism, fertility, and overall longevity.
We also dive into the work of Countdown, a nonprofit accelerating mitochondrial science and medicine to improve how we prevent and treat disease. If you’re interested in women’s health, functional medicine, healthy aging, and cellular energy, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
🔹 What you will learn:
* How mitochondria impact hormones, energy, and aging in women
* Why stress and inflammation accelerate cellular decline
* Why cellular health matters before hormone optimization
