Wei's Longevity Notes

How Mitochondria, Insulin, and Sleep Control the Pace of Aging


Listen Later

Many people think aging is mainly about genetics, but the real drivers often lie in everyday biology - mitochondrial energy, insulin regulation, sleep quality, and hormone balance. In this episode, experts share research and clinical insights on how metabolic health, brain fuel, and cellular repair systems shape the aging process. We explore practical habits and emerging therapies that may help maintain energy, cognitive resilience, and metabolic health over the long term.


We listen to a wide range of health and longevity podcasts every week and highlight practical insights - supported by personal stories and clinical studies - so you know where to explore further.
