Women's Wellness Radio Why You Need to Support Your Mitochondria With Susanne Bennett
Dr. Susanne Bennett is a chiropractic physician and has worked with thousands of clients. She previously worked in chiropractic sports medicine for 5 years until her son was born with a lot of ailments and allergies. She changed her gears and area of practice to find the root causes of his complications. She ended up writing the book “The 7 Day Allergy Makeover”.
5 years ago she had an accident and had traumatic brain injury (TBI). Her pituitary gland was squeezing down her blood flow to the master gland in the brain. She had Panhypopituitarism. She was chronically fatigued and later found out that her mitochondria were damaged.
On this podcast Dr. Bennett will be talking about mitochondria, which are part of every cell of the body. They energize the cells and have a very unique role. They can be damaged in a unique way and repaired in a very unique way as well. A lot of diseases that involve fatigue, autoimmunity, nerves system issues or diseases of aging are associated with damage to the mitochondria.
We talk about:
- What is mitochondria and how they look like
- Functions of mitochondria in the body
- Effects of mitochondria damage including sarcopenia/atrophy
- Acute and chronic inflammation
- How the mitochondria get damaged and causes of impairment
- Foods that impair the mitochondria
- How older women can rejuvenate their eggs
- And so much more
Dr. Susanne Bennett is also the author of a book on mitochondria Mighty Mito: Power Up Your Mitochondria for Boundless Energy, Laser Sharp Mental Focus and a Powerful Vibrant Body.
