Mitochondrial Peptides 101: Energy, Hormones & Peptides — What Actually Works

Why are you tired, foggy, and not bouncing back the way you used to? It's not just "getting older" — it's your mitochondria. In this free training, I break down the real science behind cellular energy production, how estrogen and hormones directly regulate mitochondrial function, and why metabolic health, immune health, and longevity are all connected through this one organelle. I also walk through my Five Pillars framework for mitochondrial health (Inputs, Structure, Redox, Signal, Turnover) and exactly where peptides like NAD+, MOTS-c, Glutathione, GLP-1s, TA-1, and Selank fit — not as a magic fix, but as targeted support layered on top of the foundation. In this video, you'll learn: ✔️ What mitochondria actually do (beyond "powerhouse of the cell") ✔️ How estrogen and mitochondrial health are directly connected ✔️ Why fatigue and brain fog in your 40s and 50s aren't just "in your head" ✔️ My Five Pillars framework for supporting mitochondrial health ✔️ How NAD+, MOTS-c, Glutathione, GLP-1s, TA-1, and Selank each support different parts of the system ✔️ Why sleep, exercise, nutrition, and stress management matter more than any single peptide Timestamps (update once your final video is edited — placeholders based on your slide order) 0:00 Intro 0:59 What is a peptide? 2:19 What is a mitochondria? 3:34 Estrogen's role in mitochondrial health 4:24 The big picture: metabolic, immune & longevity connections 5:32 Why energy declines in midlife 8:10 The four foundations (sleep, exercise, nutrition, stress) 10:47 Hormone therapy through EllieMD 12:24 The Five Pillars framework 18:17 Glutathione, MOTS-c, NAD+, GLP-1s, TA-1, Selank Resources & Links: 🔗 Explore hormone therapy & peptides: elliemd.com/drkristi 🔗 Join my private women's longevity & peptide community: https://women-s-optimized-wellness.mn.co/share/bJwieXaaxM3Aa0qI?utm_source=manual 🔗 Instagram: @drkristi.sawicki 🔗 More educational content: www.longevitywithkristi.com Disclaimer: I'm a scientist, educator, and coach — not a medical provider.
