Improve Your Mitochondria

To improve your mitochondria requires you focus a little more than on just “exercise” or “anything is better than nothing.”

First, though, let’s talk about why you want to. Now, if you want a deeper conversation, I’ve got a couple resources for you. There are prior Flipping 50 episodes I’ll link to and if you love to geek out and would love 2 hour long explanations you may want to listen to Peter Attia podcasts on the topic or Rhonda Patrick episodes. They both host longer shows that for the most part many of you express you don’t have time (or patience) for but that are very deep dive.

Counter to some of the “bros” in science, I also don’t agree with Zone 2 training being the best thing for women to improve mitochondria and VO2 max, at least without understanding it.

Practices for Optimal Mitochondrial Performance:

- Regular physical activity:
  Base building, strength training, HIIT
- Intermittent fasting or two meals a day
  Times without eating
- Reduce stress
  Overall, stress has a negative impact on mitochondria production because it’s not an “essential” to keep you alive
- Prioritize sleep
  Sleep is regenerating at it’s best
- Nutritional supplementation

Secret Weapons to Improve Your Mitochondria

Mitopure / Urolithin A – Results seen in about 2 months of supplementation 500 mg a day
NAD or CoQ10 – support energy production again, But ignores the need to to clear out poor mitochondria for the inactive (take out the trash) – which is what Urolithin A does. Improves the quality and the quantity of mitochondria. Greater resistance to fatigue, then you walk and move more spontaneously during the day, total energy expenditure increases and blood sugar improves… It’s a positive domino effect.
C60 – longevity agent, educes inflammation from oxidation and free radical damage, degeneration of cartilage, boosts immunity, hair growth, libido, hormones function better
