"Mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells, and if we don’t keep them in check, we risk losing the energy, strength, and vitality that allow us to age powerfully." - Dr. Anurag Singh

In this energizing episode of the Well Beyond 40 podcast, I sit down with Dr. Anurag Singh, a pioneering expert in mitochondrial health, to dive deep into the science that can help us all age with power. As the Chief Medical Officer at Timeline, Dr. Singh has spearheaded over 50 clinical trials, focusing on groundbreaking ways to keep our cellular engines—the mitochondria—running optimally well beyond our 40s.

We explore the fascinating compound Urolithin A, which I call “exercise in a bottle.” Urolithin A is derived from foods like pomegranates and walnuts, and plays a critical role in maintaining muscle health, boosting energy levels, and even improving skin quality as we age. Dr. Singh sheds light on the alarming statistics of muscle loss starting in our 30s and how it accelerates into our 60s and 70s. He offers actionable strategies that go beyond just increasing protein intake and resistance training, emphasizing the importance of using every tool available, including Urolithin A, to combat the decline.

For those navigating the world of GLP-1 agonists for weight loss, Dr. Singh provides essential insights into how these medications impact muscle mass and mitochondria. His advice is clear: while these drugs can be effective, they must be coupled with proper nutrition, exercise, and mitochondrial support to prevent long-term muscle loss and metabolic issues.

Tune in to discover how you can harness the power of your mitochondria to not only live longer but to live stronger, with more energy and resilience, well into your later years. Don't miss this chance to learn how to integrate cutting-edge science into your daily routine for a healthier, more vibrant you!
