How to Improve Mitochondria After 40: Zone 2, Sprints, and What Actually Works | Brad Currier, PhD

You're training consistently, eating well, sleeping as best you can and yet the energy isn't there, recovery is taking longer, and something just feels off. 

Brad Currier, one of the leading researchers in mitochondrial science, gets into why mitochondrial decline is the hidden driver behind low energy, slower recovery, and reduced muscle performance in women over 40 and what the latest clinical research shows you can actually do about it. If you want to train hard, recover well, and feel genuinely energetic into your 40s and beyond, this one is worth your full attention. 

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

• Why mitochondria decline with age and what it means for energy and recovery after 40

• What mitophagy is and why most active women in their 40s should know this

• How urolithin A triggers mitophagy and what the clinical data actually shows

• What rep range builds strength and longevity for women in their 40s

• How exercise improves skin health and collagen from the inside out

ABOUT THE GUEST

Brad Currier, PhD, is a Senior Clinical Scientist at Timeline and completed his PhD at McMaster University, where his background as an elite athlete led him into muscle physiology and performance nutrition research. He co-authored the new ACSM resistance training guidelines and leads clinical trials on urolithin A and mitochondrial health. His work sits at the intersection of cellular science and real-world performance, helping active women understand why energy, recovery, and muscle function change after 40 and what the clinical evidence says they can do about it.
