Inside most of our cells, as well as plants, fungi, and animals, are the mitochondria, or power plants of cells. These little organelles make chemical energy, called ATP, or Adenosine Triphosphate, which is our body’s energy currency. About hair growth, for example, the cells that make up our hair follicles need a lot of energy to grow hair. About our skin cells, if we don’t have healthy mitochondria making enough ATP, we won’t have healthy, youthful-looking skin. This is true for our kidneys, liver, heart, brain, and muscle cells. They all need optimal amounts of healthy mitochondria to produce optimal amounts of ATP. You can see how this topic is a priority when thinking about your longevity plan.It’s important to know this information and understand how you can pivot your lifestyle in a direction that supports mitochondrial health, especially as you age. As women age, and go through menopause, their mitochondrial function is less optimal in both quantity and quality, and they become damaged, thus, they can’t take care of business.My guest today, Jennifer Scheinman, is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a master’s degree in integrative and functional nutrition.
