In today's episode with Dr. Molly Maloof, you’ll hear us take a deep dive into:

1. Dr Maloof’s book “The Spark Factor”
   
2. The basics of mitochondria and how they help your body
   
3. The necessity of active living
   
4. How Mitochondria can help during Perimenopause

If you’ve ever had questions about Mitochondria, you’re in the right place!

Join Dr. Carrie Jones and Dr. Molly Maloof for an exciting conversation about Mitochondria and its wide-reaching impact on our mental state and the health of our bodies.
Dr. Maloof talks us through her insights of how lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, can have an effect on our Mitochondria - and how those effects can then, in turn, affect us. The conversation also covers the Mitochondrial impact on perimenopause and fitness as female bodies get older, and how blood sugar levels also play a part.
