“ Most longevity scientists talk about these 12 hallmarks of ageing. Mitochondria is the centrepiece that can be a link to all of them” ~ Dr. Anurag Singh
If you’re looking for a way to reverse ageing, live free of disease and increase your lifespan – you need to dial in your mitochondrial health. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells – like batteries, they bring energy and life into our bodies.
Anurag Singh is an expert in mitochondrial and cellular health. As Chief Medical Officer at Timeline, he’s constantly searching for ways to boost mitochondrial function through supplementation. The most promising compound he and his team have discovered is a postbiotic called Urolithin A.
In this episode, Tim and Anurag discuss how mitochondrial function is one of the most important things of all for health and longevity, with an 80% link to some age related conditions. Feeling fatigued, or got brain fog? They also explain what your mitochondria are to blame here. They also tackle the lifestyle factors causing damage to your mitochondria. And they discuss the amazing properties of Urolithin A, which can extend lifespan by an incredible 40%.
