The Mitochondrial Link to Mental Illness | Ana Andreazza, PhD | The Metabolic Link Ep.63

Mitochondria do more than power our cells—they may hold the key to understanding and treating mental illness. In this episode of The Metabolic Link, Dr. Dominic D’Agostino sits down with Dr. Ana Andreazza, a leading expert in mitochondrial health at the University of Toronto. Dr. Andreazza has pioneered research linking mitochondrial dysfunction to psychiatric disorders like bipolar disorder, utilizing groundbreaking 3D brain organoid models to study neurotransmission. She also leads research on mitochondrial transplantation, a potential game-changer in regenerative medicine. Join us as we explore how mitochondria influence mood, metabolism, and overall health—and why optimizing mitochondrial function may be the future of medicine.
