[The LOdown] Mitochondria What? Their Connection to the Thyroid, Fertility & More

You've likely heard the word mitochondria before and maybe wondered what are those things and why do people say they are so important? The truth is they really are that important, especially as it relates to the thyroid, fertility and autoimmunity. In this podcast episode I uncover everything you must know about mitochondrial health, its connection to our endocrine and immune system and ways to support it. We chat about the populations at the greatest risk of mitochondrial dysfunction (hint: I'm looking at you extreme exercisers). Tune in to learn more! 

A few things we chat about in this episode 👇👇👇

• how the thyroid influences mitochondrial function and vice versa
• the role of mitochondria in fertility for both men and women
• the PCOS-mitochondrial connection
• things to limit to improve mitochondrial function
• foods, supplements and lifestyle tools to add to support mitochondrial function
• my thoughts on red light, sauna and exercise for mitochondrial health and how to get the best out of them
