Inherited Trauma: The Hidden Reason Depression Runs In Your Family
Wellness + Wisdom Podcast
Cognition Study Hypothesis and Design
Dr. Currier outlines the pre-registered cognition trial testing mitopure in fatigued individuals using validated cognitive scales.
Is mitochondrial decline the hidden blueprint that decides how fast your body ages?
Josh Trent welcomes Dr. Brad Currier, PhD, Clinical Scientist, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 793, to unpack how mitochondrial health is passed through generations, why modern environments and sedentary living accelerate aging, how mitophagy and Urolithin A restore cellular energy, why gut health blocks or enables longevity, and how exercise plus targeted supplementation can fundamentally shift mood, vitality, and long term health from the inside out.
30% Off Mitopure (Timeline Nutrition)The first clinically tested Urolithin A supplement
Mitopure® is a highly pure form of Urolithin A, a postbiotic clinically shown to energize cells, increase muscle strength, and improve endurance. And this is just the beginning. New studies continuously explore and prove the incredible potential of Urolithin A.
Few people can get enough Urolithin A from diet alone. Mitopure unlocks 6X the dose of Urolithin A when compared to dietary sources such as pomegranate juice, without the sugar.
Mitochondria, our cellular powerhouses, are constantly renewed to fulfill the vast energy demands of cells. As we age, mitochondrial function declines, starting as early as our 30s. Mitopure stimulates the mitochondrial renewal process to protect cells from age-associated decline.

"Poor quality food and pollutants in our environment ultimately converge on the mitochondria and have an impact on its ability to produce energy. When we have this accumulation of debris in our cells, they don't work as well and they start releasing toxins that impact cells around them. " — Dr. Brad Currier, PhD
