Episode 006 – Mitochondria: More Than Just the Powerhouse

Tired, foggy, wired-but-exhausted? You’ve probably been told it’s stress, hormones, or motivation. But what if it’s none of those?

What if your mitochondria—your body’s energy regulators—are stuck in defense mode?

In this episode, we unpack the real reason so many people feel drained, inflamed, and unable to recover—even with a clean diet and a solid routine. Because your mitochondria don’t just make energy… they decide whether your body is safe enough to make it at all.

You’ll learn:

Why fatigue is often a mitochondrial signaling problem, not a fuel problem

  • What the mitochondria–inflammation loop is—and how to break it
  • How mitochondrial dysfunction hides in plain sight as cravings, brain fog, and emotional volatility
  • What it means to restore energy flexibility—and how it transforms your metabolism
  • 7 real-world signs your mitochondria are struggling (and what to do about them)
  • What actually works to rebuild mitochondrial health—including rhythm, resilience inputs, and gut–mitochondria signals like butyrate

🎯 If your energy feels inconsistent, your recovery is slow, and you’re tired of blaming willpower—this episode is your blueprint for metabolic momentum.
