693: Tired All the Time? It Might Be Hidden Problems With Your Mitochondria with Siobhan Mitchell
Energized with Dr. Mariza
Perimenopause Symptoms and Cellular Energy
Dr. Mariza outlines common perimenopause symptoms and links them to declining cellular and mitochondrial energy.
Ready to boost your energy and future-proof your health?
In this episode, I’m joined by expert neuroscientist Dr. Siobhan Mitchell, who breaks down why your mitochondria—the tiny powerhouses inside your cells—are the secret to healthy aging.
She explains how the perimenopause and menopause transition is not just hormonal, but a neuroendocrine shift that impacts your brain, mood, energy, AND vitality.
And even if you’re doing your best to bring on lifestyle recommendations for optimizing mitochondrial health, odds are you still need more support than just that in midlife. So, that’s where the supplement MitoQ comes into play.
As MitoQ’s Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Mitchell reveals how this advanced antioxidant works deep inside your cells to enhance mitochondrial function, boosting mental clarity and long-term longevity.
Tune in and discover how to fuel your energy, elevate your mood, and embrace midlife feeling stronger than ever!

QUOTES
“You get these overactive mitochondria that are also producing energy and oxidative stress at much higher levels, and these oxidative stress mechanisms can also bring on faster aging through inflammation and things like that.”
“[MitoQ] is basically helping protect your mitochondria from excessive oxidative stress. It gets into the mitochondria better than any other supplement on the market because it was especially engineered to have this tag that allows it to get into the mitochondria up to [about] 90%.”
