Episode Description

Welcome to this week’s Midlife Minute episode.

Today, I respond to a complex question from my free Facebook group. 

Stay tuned as I explore the root cause of Melinda’s persistent knee inflammation, from protein needs and recovery to mitochondrial support, and why eating “clean” does not always reduce inflammation.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

  • How persistent swelling and discomfort after 40 could reflect mitochondrial decline

  • Why 20 to 25 grams of protein at a meal may not be enough to trigger muscle protein synthesis

  • Why eating “really clean” while doing heavy exercise could create a relative energy deficiency

  • Mitochondrial support supplements that are commonly used for repair and boosting mitophagy

  • The benefits of the flavonoid, apigenin

  • The value of CoQ10, especially for those on statin therapy

  • Why melatonin is more than just a sleep hormone

  • How BPC 157 differs from the experimental peptides available online
