The Mitochondrial Fix Perimenopausal Women Are Missing for Energy and Recovery
from High Performance Health · host Angela Foster
In this episode, Angela is joined by Brad Currier from Timeline to explore why mitochondrial health may be a missing piece of the puzzle for women struggling with energy, recovery and performance in perimenopause. They discuss the role of mitophagy, the process of clearing out damaged mitochondria, and how exercise and Urolithin A work to support cellular renewal. The conversation also reviews research showing improvements in muscle power, strength, endurance and recovery with Urolithin A supplementation, alongside Angela's personal experience of noticing a decline in energy when she stopped taking it and improvements when she restarted. Key Takeaways Exercise naturally supports mitochondrial renewal and mitophagy. Mitophagy helps remove damaged mitochondria that can impair energy and recovery. Urolithin A is the only clinically validated supplement currently shown to specifically support mitophagy. Studies have shown improvements in muscle power, strength and endurance with Urolithin A supplementation. Research suggests it may help reduce muscle damage and improve recovery. Benefits develop gradually over weeks and months rather than being felt immediately. Mitochondrial support may be particularly valuable during perimenopause when recovery often becomes slower and energy less reliable.
