How to keep your mitochondria healthy for better energy
Dr Ruscio is a Doctor of Natural Medicine, Doctor of Chiropractic, clinical researcher and author. His podcast, Dr Ruscio Radio presents cutting edge information in health, nutrition and functional medicine distilled into practical advice that can be used to improve our health.
2023
Abstract
Dr Ruscio chats to Ari Whitten to unpack mitochondrial health, introducing the concept that mitochondria are not just energy producers but are also involved in cellular defence, protecting the body by dialling down energy production if they feel threatened. Subsequently, intervening upstream with implementation of diet and lifestyle changes may help shut off this defence response so that mitochondria can focus on energy production. They review the myriad of connections between nutrition, lifestyle factors and mitochondrial function, including body composition/fat, gut health, blood sugar regulation, and sleep (particularly circadian rhythm and melatonin). Mitochondrial testing and supplementation are discussed, as well as fasting to support mitochondrial health, and ways to potentially mitigate mitochondrial loss with ageing via hormetic stress.

Abstract
Dr Hyman and Dr Wentz discuss everything that you need to know about adrenal health and the types of psychological and physiological stressors that can lead to altered cortisol output and adrenal dysfunction. Importantly they touch upon the term ‘adrenal fatigue’ and refute its scientific accuracy. They take a deep dive into how adrenal/HPA axis dysfunction manifests itself in the body, and thoroughly review really practical interventions that can help to support the adrenals exploring diet, supplements such as adaptogens, and lifestyle factors such as circadian rhythm alignment and sleep hygiene. Identifying stress triggers and creating a toolkit to respond to these is a key component of Izabella’s adrenal transformation protocol, as is creating joy in everyday life. A really fascinating listen.
