Brad Currier, PhD: Your Mitochondria Are Dying: How to Trigger "Cellular Recycling"


Listen Later

Is your body running on broken engines?

We often obsess over what we eat, but we rarely think about how our cells process that fuel. If your mitochondria (the engines of your cells) are dysfunctional, it doesn't matter how perfect your diet is—you will feel tired, you will recover slowly, and you will age faster.

In this episode, we sit down with Brad Currier, a PhD in muscle physiology and scientist at Timeline, to discuss Urolithin A—the breakthrough molecule that acts as a "recycling program" for your cells. Brad reveals why natural food sources are virtually impossible to rely on (you’d need to drink 1.5 liters of juice daily), how this molecule compares to fasting for longevity, and the shocking data coming out of studies with Olympic athletes.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • The "Junkyard" Theory: Why mitochondrial dysfunction is the root cause of low energy and poor recovery.
  • Mitophagy Explained: How to trigger the selective breakdown of "zombie" mitochondria to build fresh, healthy ones.
  • The Pomegranate Reality Check: Why you can't eat your way to therapeutic levels of Urolithin A (and the sugar cost of trying).
  • Fasting vs. MitoPure: The difference between "global" starvation (fasting) and "surgical" cellular repair.
  • Olympic Secrets: How elite runners are using this specific protocol to lower perceived exertion and muscle damage.
  • The Future of Longevity: How this impacts not just muscle, but skin, immune health, and cognitive function.
