If you’ve been feeling like your energy has vanished overnight, you’re not alone! But what if I told you it isn’t due to stress or aging, or even hormones—it’s all happening deep inside your cells?

In this episode,  I’m joined by the brilliant Dr. Felice Gersh to explore the powerful connection between hormone shifts and your mitochondria—the tiny engines that fuel every cell in your body.

We’ll uncover why fatigue, brain fog, and stubborn weight gain aren't “just signs of aging”, but signals your body is craving cellular support. 

Dr. Gersh breaks down how perimenopause and menopause can disrupt your mitochondrial function—and most importantly, what you can do right now to turn things around. 

From lifestyle tweaks to science-backed strategies, this episode is full of insights to help you restore your vitality from the inside out.

Tune in here and uncover Dr. Gersh’s tips to rebuild your energy, balance your hormones, and step into a new season of life with power and confidence!

QUOTES

“Healthy longevity means lowering systemic inflammation, and our vital life hormones– estradiol and progesterone– are really critical for that.” 

“When you have unhealthy mitochondria, or dying, damaged mitochondria, the effects are not just that you make less energy, which is huge, but you also don't control the cell cycle.” 

“If you wanna live that beautiful, high-vitality, high-energized life in your 70s, 80s, and beyond…you talked about not even having issues until you're in your mid-90s– then we absolutely have to be proactive.”
