Today, I’m delighted to reconnect with Dr. Elizabeth Yurth. Dr. Yurth is a double-board-certified physician in physical medicine and rehabilitation and anti-aging regenerative medicine. With over 30 years of clinical experience, she is at the forefront of orthopedics, cellular and regenerative medicine, and the future of aging. In our discussion today, we explore mitochondrial health as the driver of energy changes in middle age and beyond. We discuss the value of hormone replacement, examine the effects of chronic pain and mitochondrial dysfunction, and discuss specific fuels that benefit the mitochondria. We clarify the importance of starting with energy production and repairing mitochondria, and explain the intricate connection between muscle and mitochondrial health. Dr. Yurth also shares the two specific labs that indicate poor mitochondrial health, and we dive into how peptides support immunity and seasonal cycling. I know you will gain from today’s conversation with Dr. Elizabeth Yurth, which is truly one of my favorite recent conversations. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How immunosenescence accelerates aging- particularly in women How thymic peptides can support and repair immune functioning Why mitochondria are foundational to our overall health How mitochondrial decline can increase insomnia and anxiety The value of seasonal cycling for aligning with natural seasonal changes, optimizing adaptation, and reducing unnecessary stress The benefits of longitudinal tracking How orthorexia and excessive focus on longevity routines can increase anxiety and undermine any health benefits How aging naturally decreases hormones, mitochondrial function, and cellular repair mechanisms Using peptides as a “cheat” to maintain immune and mitochondrial function when daily routines or travel make ideal practices impossible Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website Submit your questions to [email protected].
