Stronger, Faster, Younger: The Science of Mitochondrial Health with Dr Anurag Singh
Angela talks to Dr. Anurag Singh, Chief Medical Officer at Timeline that develops next generation advanced nutritional and skincare products targeting improvements in mitochondrial and cellular health. Dr Singh discusses the critical topic of mitochondrial health and its profound impact on energy levels and longevity. He explains the role of mitochondria as the energy factories of our cells and discusses how aging affects their function, leading to fatigue and other health issues.
Description
Angela talks to Dr. Anurag Singh, Chief Medical Officer at Timeline that develops next generation advanced nutritional and skincare products targeting improvements in mitochondrial and cellular health. Dr Singh discusses the critical topic of mitochondrial health and its profound impact on energy levels and longevity. He explains the role of mitochondria as the energy factories of our cells and discusses how aging affects their function, leading to fatigue and other health issues.
Together, Angela and Dr Singh look at various factors that can damage mitochondria, including diet, exercise, sleep, and social interactions, emphasising the importance of a holistic approach to health.
Key Takeaways
Mitochondria act as your cells’ battery packs, fueling energy, performance, and cognitive function. Damaged mitochondria lead to fatigue and aging, but promoting mitophagy helps regenerate healthy ones.
Regular exercise, especially endurance and resistance training, alongside calorie restriction or intermittent fasting, significantly enhances mitochondrial function and overall health.
Urolithin A, a postbiotic from certain foods, promotes mitophagy, improving energy, muscle strength, recovery, and even cognitive health, with benefits supported by multiple clinical trials.
Poor mitochondrial health triggers chronic inflammation. Optimizing mitochondria enhances immune response and reduces systemic inflammation.
Early research shows urolithin A may support brain health by addressing mitophagy deficits linked to cognitive decline, sleep disorders, and neuroinflammation.
