I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Siobhan Mitchell, the Chief Scientific Officer at MitoQ. Dr. Mitchell completed her PhD at SUNY Albany and a postdoctoral fellowship on brain aging at the University of Washington. She has held roles at multinational food companies, leading research on brain nutrition, metabolism, cardiovascular health, and weight loss. She has published clinical research demonstrating the effects of stress on women’s heart health and the importance of nutrients such as polyphenols, omega-3s, probiotics, and amino acids for brain health, authored dozens of clinical studies and more than 80 papers, and given talks on nutritional neuroscience at conferences worldwide. She also holds eight patents for products related to aging, cognition, and mood. In today’s conversation, Dr. Mitchell and I discuss mitochondrial physiology, energy, and dysfunction, exploring the impact of MitoQ and supplementation for supporting health. We examine research on menopause, how estrogen influences mitochondria, the roles of oxidative stress, antioxidants, and zombie cells, highlighting how mitochondria impact our cardiovascular health, the value of MitoQ in supporting vascular function in females, the importance of polyphenols and spices, and signs of mitochondrial dysfunction. This is a truly invaluable conversation- one you’ll likely want to revisit. Stay tuned for today’s informative discussion on supporting our mitochondria and reducing oxidative stress with MitoQ. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How our mitochondrial function changes as we get older, and what those changes might look like How antioxidants protect the mi…","meta_description":"In this episode, we’re featuring MitoQ, a company whose research around antioxidant support for mitochondrial function has been of particular interest to…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4569,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/everyday-wellness-midlife-hormones-menopause-and-science-for-women-35-72097/episodes/bonus-mitochondria-and-cellular-aging-with-dr-siobhan-mitchell-menopause-perimenopause-mitochondrial-health/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/everyday-wellness-midlife-hormones-menopause-and-science-for-women-35-72097/bonus-mitochondria-and-cellular-aging-with-dr-siobhan-mitchell-menopause-perimenopause-mitochondrial-health.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
