Feeling like your energy and recovery aren’t what they used to be? Your mitochondria may be part of the conversation. ⚡

Jason and Priscilla break down CoQ10—the naturally occurring coenzyme involved in ATP production, mitochondrial function, antioxidant defense, heart health, exercise recovery, healthy aging, and why it often comes up for people taking statins.

Plus, we’re talking oral vs. injectable CoQ10 and how we use it at Simply You Wellness & IV Hydration.

Feeling tired, sluggish, or like your energy just isn’t what it used to be? B vitamins play a major role in how your body turns food into usable energy—but B-complex is about much more than just B12. Jason and Priscilla break down Olympia’s Vita-Complex, including B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6, and explain how these nutrients support energy production, metabolism, brain and nerve function, muscle recovery, and overall wellness. Plus, find out why B-complex and B12 aren’t actually the same thing.

Amino acids aren’t just for athletes. In this episode of Live Optimized, Jason and Priscilla break down arginine, L-carnitine, lysine, and proline and how they support energy metabolism, circulation, collagen production, tissue repair, and muscle recovery. We also explore why amino-acid and protein status matters during GLP-1 weight loss, after gastric bypass, with inadequate nutrition, and for avid exercisers—plus what people with POTS should know. Learn why losing weight isn’t enough: protecting your muscle and nutritional health matters, too.

What if one antioxidant could support your mitochondria, blood sugar, nerve health, and your body’s own antioxidant defenses? In this episode of Live Optimized, Jason and Priscilla break down alpha-lipoic acid (ALA)—what it is, how it works, and why it’s gaining attention for metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, neuropathy, cellular energy, and healthy aging. Plus, learn who may benefit and when ALA may not be the right choice.

You’ve probably seen taurine in energy drinks—but its potential benefits go far beyond energy. In this episode of Live Optimized, we dive into what taurine actually does in the body and why it’s getting so much attention for longevity and wellness.

We’re talking heart and cardiovascular health, brain and neurological support, liver health, antioxidant protection, exercise performance, muscle recovery, and healthy aging. Plus, we break down what the research actually says, where taurine comes from, and why this overlooked amino acid is becoming such a popular longevity supplement.

If you’re interested in living longer, performing better, and protecting your health as you age, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
