518. How To Protect Muscle and Improve Skin As We Age

April 25, 2025·46m

Let's break down the secrets to aging vibrantly with registered dietitian and cellular health expert Jennifer Scheinman! We’re getting real about why you should actually care about your mitochondria (yes, those “powerhouses of the cell” from high school biology) and how showing a little love to those tiny energy factories can have a massive impact on your skin, muscle preservation, energy, and even your long-term weight and metabolism. Not only do we demystify Urolithin A—a buzzy biohacking supplement making waves in the anti-aging world—but we dig into exactly how it can help you look and feel younger, heal faster, and hold onto that all-important muscle as the years roll by. Jennifer dishes out the practical science behind Urolithin A in Mitopure (a Timeline Supplement), sharing both clinical and juicy anecdotal results (hello, accelerated healing after laser treatments and less muscle loss as we age, even for our parents!). We cover the truth about improving skin from both the inside and outside, how to actually “muscle bank” for longevity, and why protecting your mitochondria could be the missing fix in your perimenopause or thyroid health journey. If you’ve ever wondered what’s really working behind the scenes for glowing skin, fierce energy, and strong muscle through perimenopause and menopause, this episode is your goldmine.
