Is mitochondrial decline the hidden blueprint that decides how fast your body ages?
Josh Trent welcomes Dr. Brad Currier, PhD, Clinical Scientist, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 793, to unpack how mitochondrial health is passed through generations, why modern environments and sedentary living accelerate aging, how mitophagy and Urolithin A restore cellular energy, why gut health blocks or enables longevity, and how exercise plus targeted supplementation can fundamentally shift mood, vitality, and long term health from the inside out.
The first clinically tested Urolithin A supplement
Mitopure® is a highly pure form of Urolithin A, a postbiotic clinically shown to energize cells, increase muscle strength, and improve endurance. And this is just the beginning. New studies continuously explore and prove the incredible potential of Urolithin A.
Few people can get enough Urolithin A from diet alone. Mitopure unlocks 6X the dose of Urolithin A when compared to dietary sources such as pomegranate juice, without the sugar.
Mitochondria, our cellular powerhouses, are constantly renewed to fulfill the vast energy demands of cells. As we age, mitochondrial function declines, starting as early as our 30s. Mitopure stimulates the mitochondrial renewal process to protect cells from age-associated decline.

In This Episode, Dr. Brad Currier, PhD Uncovers:
[01:10] How to Optimize Mitochondrial Health
How our mitochondrial DNA is passed from mothers to children.
The functions of mitochondria in the human body.
How our environment affects our mitochondria.
Why UV radiation from the sun damages proteins in our cells.
How sedentary lifestyle impact mitochondrial health.
Why we have to take supplements to maintain our health.
How the microbiome blocks production of Urolithin A.
Why most people's gut microbiome is damaged.
How our gut microbiome lacks diversity compared.
[24:15] Gut-Brain Axis
How the gut-brain axis is linked to many diseases.
Why mitochondria can impact different systems of the body.
The importance of supplementing Urolithin A.
Why food cannot help us produce more Urolithin A.
How aging affects protein absorption.
[29:35] Activate Mitophagy to Stop Aging
Why Mitopure is the only clinically proven supplement to activate mitophagy.
The three phases of the mitochondria's life cycle.
Why removing cellular residue prevents aging.
How healthy mitochondria can help us live a better life.
Why renewing cellular energy requires consistency.
[36:05] Scientific Data Behind Mitochondrial Health
How mitochondrial health impacts mood and mental health.
Why Timeline Nutrition continues running new clinical studies.
How repeated scientific research proves whether something truly works or not.
Why they publish all of their studies online.
[43:40] The Power of Exercise
Why professional athletes have a higher risk of heart attack.
How exercise is the best tool for health and longevity.
Why combining Mitopure with exercise increases mitochondrial health.
How weightlifting helps us create new cells.
[50:20] The Fundamentals of Health
How Brad takes care of his own health.
Why exercise is the most important tool for him.
The role of a good diet and sleep in our health.
[55:20] Change Is Counter-Intuitive
Why change can feel counterintuitive at first.
The importance of allowing ourselves to feel uncomfortable.
How we can't often know for sure what tools or supplements are best for us.
“Poor quality food and pollutants in our environment ultimately converge on the mitochondria and have an impact on its ability to produce energy. When we have this accumulation of debris in our cells, they don't work as well and they start releasing toxins that impact cells around them. ” —Dr. Brad Currier, PhD
Brad Currier, PhD, is a clinical scientist specializing in mitochondrial health, cellular aging, and metabolic resilience.
With a background in translational research and applied clinical science, Brad focuses on how mitochondria, lifestyle inputs, and environmental stressors influence energy production, longevity, and disease risk.
His work bridges cutting-edge science with real-world application, helping people understand how to protect and optimize their cellular engines for sustained health, performance, and resilience.
Why does the brain associate weight loss with dying, and what happens when you stop fighting your body and flip the brain instead?
Josh Trent welcomes Weight Loss Expert, David Zappasodi, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 792, to reveal why weight gain is often a survival strategy, how subconscious identity and polarity drive compulsive eating, why willpower and restrictive diets fail, what a true Brain Flip does to dissolve fear, mourning, and self sabotage around weight loss, and how allowing transformation instead of forcing change creates sustainable freedom in the body and mind.
In This Episode, David Zappasodi Uncovers:
[01:15] Consciousness Brain Flip
Why losing weight can feel like dying.
How experiencing a heavy body makes people feel alive.
“To the brain, losing weight feels like dying because being heavy has become associated with living. On a daily basis, heavier people are experiencing the physical sensations of heaviness, when they're getting out of bed, when they're getting into the tub, when they're putting shoes on, etc.. At the exact same time, they're experiencing the physical sensations of being alive because they are alive. And when being heavy becomes equated with life, then being light becomes equated with death. ” —David Zappasodi
David Zappasodi is a weight loss expert and creator of the Brain Flip Method, a mindset-based approach that helps people lose weight by changing the way their brain relates to food, cravings, and self-control.
Rather than relying on rigid diets or willpower, David teaches clients how to rewire the subconscious patterns that drive overeating, emotional eating, and self-sabotage. The Brain Flip Method focuses on identity level change, helping people feel calm around food, trust their body again, and lose weight in a way that is sustainable and stress-free.
With a direct, practical teaching style, David is known for helping people break lifelong weight loss cycles by flipping the mental switch that makes healthy choices feel natural instead of forced.
