LONGEVITY with Nathalie Niddam

Episode #222: Mitochondrial Health, BDNF, Metformin, Paraxanthine, and More with Shawn Wells.


Listen Later

Did you know, the rapid decline of mitochondrial health is one of the root causes of the nation’s major diseases like cancer, PCOS, Alzheimer's, and coronary heart disease? 

 

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I talk with Shawn Wells about mitochondrial health, its effects on our life’s energy, as well as supplements that can help. Berberine, Dihydroberberine, and Metformin all show positive effects on the mitochondria, and we delve into the research and benefits behind each. 

 

We also discuss several other interesting topics like how stoicism and some stress in life are a good thing, the need to continually work on lowering blood sugar levels, and how BEG (brain energy gap) affects mood disorders. 

 

Overall, this episode gives guidance on how to work on improving your life’s energy source to live a fully vibrant life. 

 

Shawn Wells, “The World’s Greatest Formulator”, is a bio-hacktivist who overcame significant obstacles with his own health—weight issues, depression, autoimmune conditions (Epstein-Barr, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), two cervical disc replacements, and a pituitary adenoma, which is a type of brain tumor. His health problems led him down a winding path that required him to find science-based solutions, and they sparked his personal passion for biohacking.
