In the dynamic world of human biology, there's a microscopic hero that holds the reins of our energy levels and overall vitality: mitochondria.
These powerhouse structures, often hailed as the "energy factories of the cell," work tirelessly to transform the calories we consume from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into usable energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
But here's the fascinating part – a significant chunk of these cellular powerhouses resides in our muscles.
Unlocking peak wellness in midlife can be challenging.
Finding a simple approach to nutrition is confusing. What should you eat to lose weight, boost your energy levels and increase your health and longevity?

Protein recommendations can vary based on individual factors such as age, sex, weight, activity level, health and fitness goals, and overall health.
Sometimes, we make the mistake of thinking we need to eat less as we age.
