The role of mitochondria in energy, ageing, and health

Send us Fan Mail Free taster course 'Foundations Of Nutrition & Culinary Medicine: In this episode we explore one of the most important — yet often overlooked — aspects of human health: how your body actually produces energy at a cellular level. When people talk about “low energy”, it’s usually framed in very general terms. But beneath the surface, there are highly specialised systems working constantly to keep you functioning — and when those systems aren’t operating efficiently, the effects can be felt in ways that go far beyond simple tiredness. This episode takes a closer look at what’s really happening inside the body, and why this process plays such a central role in everything from daily energy levels to long-term health. If you’ve ever felt like your energy isn’t quite where it should be, or you’re interested in understanding how nutrition influences the body at a deeper level, this is one to listen to.
