Ep. 189 - Anti-Aging the Brain with Dr. Siobhan Mitchell

In this episode of Not Your Mother's Menopause, Dr. Fiona Lovely is joined by Dr. Siobhan Mitchell, a neuroscientist and Chief Scientific Officer at MitoQ, for a profound discussion on the pivotal role of mitochondria in brain health and aging. Dr. Mitchell, whose career was inspired by her grandmother's experience with Alzheimer's, shares her extensive research journey on mitochondrial science, anti-aging the brain and nutritional neuroscience. The conversation illuminates the critical connection between mitochondrial health and the cognitive changes many women experience during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Michell explains how the decline in estrogen can directly impact mitochondrial function in the brain, potentially leading to symptoms like brain fog and fatigue. She provides insightful information on how supporting cellular energy production and protecting against oxidative stress can be a powerful strategy for maintaining cognitive vitality. The discussion also explores the broader implications of mitochondrial health for heart function, immune resilience, and overall longevity, offering a fresh perspective on proactive wellness for women navigating midlife and beyond.
