#239 Dr. Ash Kapoor — Root Cause Longevity: Fasting, Trauma Healing, Detox & Reversing Chronic Disease

What if aging, fatigue, and chronic disease all shared the same root cause?In this episode, Dr. Ash Kapoor, physician and expert in precision and longevity medicine, reveals why mitochondrial dysfunction sits at the center of metabolic breakdown, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and accelerated aging. Rather than focusing on symptoms, Dr. Kapoor explains how cellular energy production determines how well we heal, perform, and age.We explore why calorie counting misses the mark, how modern lifestyles damage mitochondrial function, and why restoring metabolic flexibility is one of the most powerful levers for longevity. This conversation reframes health from surface-level metrics to what’s happening deep inside the cell.We explore: Why mitochondria drive energy, inflammation & agingThe link between metabolic dysfunction and chronic diseaseHow precision diagnostics reveal early dysfunctionWhy weight is a poor proxy for metabolic healthWhat actually restores cellular energy & resilienceThis episode offers a clear, science-based roadmap for rebuilding energy and extending healthspan—starting at the cellular level.
