Hormones, Mitochondria, and Aging: The Hidden Connection
Aging is not just about wrinkles. Hormones and mitochondria are in constant conversation, shaping how you look, feel, and age. When one declines, the other follows. Learn how to support both so you protect your energy, metabolism, and skin from the inside out.
Now let’s talk about mitochondria. These little organelles live inside your cells and their main job is to turn food and oxygen into energy. That energy fuels every heartbeat, thought, and muscle contraction.
But mitochondria are not just power plants. They are also communication hubs. They help regulate inflammation, cell repair, and even whether a cell survives or dies.
Here is the problem: mitochondrial function naturally declines with age. Less energy means less resilience. It shows up as fatigue, slower recovery, brain fog, and even wrinkles as collagen production takes a hit.
