In this episode, I sit down with renowned scientist Dr. Daria Mochly-Rosen to unpack one of the most important (and often overlooked) drivers of health: mitochondria. These microscopic structures inside your cells play a powerful role in your energy levels, brain function, metabolism, resilience, and long-term health span.
Often called the powerhouses of the cell, mitochondria do far more than generate energy. They influence metabolism, cognitive performance, inflammation, aging, and overall health span. When your mitochondria function well, your body produces steady energy, recovers faster, and adapts better to stress. When they don’t, you feel it everywhere.
She breaks down the fascinating truth about how we inherit mitochondria, how lifestyle choices influence cellular health, and why it is never too late to start building stronger, more resilient energy from the inside out.
We cover:
- What are mitochondria?
- How to boost energy?
- Does sleep affect health?
- Best habits for longevity?
- Are mitochondria inherited?
One of the most empowering takeaways from this conversation is that mitochondria are highly adaptable. Even if your energy has been low for years, your cells can still improve with the right inputs. Your body is constantly repairing and regenerating. When you support mitochondrial health, you’re supporting every system in your body, from brain to metabolism to immune function.
Understanding mitochondria changes how you think about health. Instead of chasing trends or quick fixes, you can focus on the foundational habits that truly matter at the cellular level. Tune in to the full episode to learn more!
