MitoQ NAD Booster formulation and purpose

Today I’m joined by neuroscientist and mitochondrial health expert Siobhan Mitchell to cut through the noise around mitochondria, inflammation, NAD, and what actually matters for energy, recovery, and brain health in midlife

We unpack why mitochondria are not just “battery packs”, they are a master regulator of oxidative stress, immune signalling, and cellular aging. Siobhan explains the difference between hormetic stress that upgrades your system (like training) versus chronic stress that drains it

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

• What mitochondria actually do, beyond “energy production”
 • Mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis, and why both decline with age
 • The difference between hormetic stress (exercise) and chronic stress (modern life)
 • Why mitochondrial dysfunction can drive inflammation and immune overactivation
 • How brain energy demand and oestrogen loss intersect in menopause symptoms
 • CD38, inflammation, and why staying lean matters for NAD preservation
 • Why NAD precursors can be wasted, and what supports conversion inside the cell
 • The practical take on timing, training, and recovery support
