About this listen

Sawyer Stone and Dr. Bill Andrews demystify the complex relationship between mitochondrial health and the aging process. Dr. Bill breaks down cellular energy, explaining how mitochondria function as the body’s primary power source through ATP production. The discussion moves beyond simple marketing hype to explain how short telomeres act as a "dimmer switch" that can shut down mitochondrial efficiency. From the benefits of Urolithin A and NAD precursors to a surprising revelation featuring Dr. Bill’s personal history with Betty White, this episode provides a comprehensive look at how to maintain cellular resilience and why the future of longevity depends on protecting both our batteries and our genetic hard drives!
