Today we’re going deep on mitochondria (your cellular energy engines) and senolytics (tools being studied to clear “senescent” zombie cells that sabotage recovery, inflammation, and performance). No fluff. No vendor ads. Just PubMed-backed science and what the global research is actually pointing to in 2026.
In this episode, we break down:
What mitochondria are, what they do, and why they decline with age
The lifestyle levers that reliably boost mitochondrial function (training, sleep, fasting, heat/cold)
Mitochondria-targeted nutrition + supplements (NR/NMN, CoQ10, PQQ, urolithin A, spermidine, ALA/ALCAR, olive oil polyphenols)
Senescent cells + the SASP: how “zombie cells” poison neighboring tissues
What senolytics are actually supported by human research so far (and what’s still experimental)
Peptides and advanced therapies on the 2026 watch list (MOTS-c, humanin, SS-31/elamipretide, exosomes)
A practical roadmap to apply this safely: foundation first, then targeted tools
