Today, I’m joined by neuroscientist and longevity researcher for MitoQ, Dr. Siobhan Mitchell, whose passion for brain health and mitochondrial science runs deep. In this episode, Dr. Mitchell opens up about her personal journey—witnessing her grandmother’s struggle with Alzheimer’s—which inspired her to dedicate her career to understanding and preventing brain aging. Her experience spans some of the world’s largest nutrition and food companies, yet her heart remains focused on innovative ways to protect the brain and body, starting with our cellular engines: the mitochondria.
