"Birthdays are always a moment for reflection, aren't they? We look back at the year that's passed and maybe think about where we are now and even possibly dream about where we're headed. And for me this year, my birthday has really brought into focus something that I've been thinking a lot about, which is change and transition."

In this heartfelt solo episode of The Green Glow Lifestyle, host Kylie Buckner celebrates her birthday with a candid reflection on change, transition, and the mindset challenges that come with growth. Kylie opens up about recent shifts in her own life—including the bittersweet departure of her co-host Lauren—and explores why our brains are wired to resist change, even when it’s for our own good. She shares personal stories, practical tips for embracing new habits, and the importance of self-compassion during times of transition. Listeners will learn how to approach change with curiosity, take small steps toward big shifts, and give themselves permission to rest and reset. Whether you’re navigating a major life change or simply looking to build healthier habits, this episode offers encouragement, wisdom, and a gentle reminder to treat yourself with kindness along the way.

And here’s the big news: Erin and Kylie are teaming up for the Thrive Alive Festival this September! Imagine four days on a gorgeous 250-acre summer camp just outside Kansas City, packed with live music (hello, Mike Love and Paul Izak!), keynote speakers, yoga, kayaking, bonfires, plant-based feasts, and a community of like-minded souls—all in a substance-free, vegan-friendly environment.

Summary:

In this energizing episode of the Green Glow Podcast, host Kylie Buckner is joined by her husband and health science expert, Dr. Cyrus Khambatta, for a deep dive into the fascinating world of mitochondria—the “powerhouses” of our cells. Together, they break down the science behind mitochondrial health, why it’s suddenly trending, and how what you eat (and how you move) can directly impact your cellular energy, longevity, and overall wellness.

Cyrus shares insights from his PhD research in nutritional biochemistry, explaining how mitochondria work, why they matter for everything from energy to disease prevention, and the latest science on how diet and lifestyle choices can help you build new, healthier mitochondria. The duo also explores the best foods for mitochondrial health, the role of antioxidants and polyphenols, the impact of different diets (including Mediterranean, ketogenic, and fasting), and practical tips for optimizing your energy at the cellular level.

Whether you’re a science geek or just want to feel your best, this episode is packed with actionable advice, myth-busting, and a healthy dose of kitchen-table banter. Plus, Kylie and Cyrus brainstorm a “mitochondria-loving salad” recipe you’ll want to try!
