63. The Powerhouses of Longevity: Mitochondrial Optimization with Dr. Elizabeth Yurth

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, but their role in longevity and overall health goes far beyond energy production. When mitochondrial function declines, it contributes to aging, inflammation, and chronic disease. In this episode, I am excited to welcome back Dr. Elizabeth Yurth to break down why mitochondria are at the root of longevity, how to optimize mitochondrial function, and the best peptides, supplements, and lifestyle strategies to support cellular health.

Dr. Elizabeth Yurth, MD, is a board-certified specialist in longevity, regenerative medicine, and orthopedics, as well as the co-founder and medical director of the Boulder Longevity Institute. She’s a leading expert in peptide therapy, cellular medicine, and age-related disease prevention.- Intro (00:00 - 00:57)- Dr. Elizabeth Yurth’s recent work in cellular medicine (00:57 - 04:34)- Why mitochondria are essential for energy and longevity (04:34 - 07:05)- Mitochondria and hormone production: The overlooked connection (07:05 - 08:20)- Mitochondrial dysfunction: The root cause of chronic disease (08:20 - 11:24)- How mitochondrial dysfunction leads to inflammation & oxidative stress (11:24 - 17:33)- Top signs & symptoms of mitochondrial dysfunction (17:33 - 24:31)- Environmental factors that damage mitochondria (toxins, stress, diet, etc.) (24:31 - 31:31)- Can we test for mitochondrial health? Biomarkers & lab tests (31:31 - 39:00)- How lifestyle impacts mitochondria: Fasting, exercise, red light therapy (39:00 - 45:15)- Best supplements for mitochondria: NAD, CoQ10, 1-MNA, creatine - and are NAD precursors like NMN & NR actually beneficial? (45:15 - 48:39)- Ketones & creatine: The ultimate mitochondrial enhancers (48:39 - 55:33)- Mitochondrial peptides: SS-31, Humanin, 5-Amino-1MQ & more (55:33 - 01:01:56)- How SS-31 repairs mitochondrial membranes & boosts energy (01:01:56 - 01:09:53)- The future of mitochondrial medicine: Mitochondrial uncouplers & new peptides (01:09:53 - 01:14:48)- Dr. Yurth’s biggest lesson on longevity & cellular medicine (01:14:48 - 01:18:08)- Where to find Dr. Yurth & learn more about mitochondrial health (01:18:08 - 01:18:30)🌐 Learn More:
