Mitochondria are often referred to as the “powerhouses of the cell” because they are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). These tiny organelles play a crucial role in metabolism, fueling every function in the body, from muscle contraction to brain function and detoxification. However, when mitochondrial function declines—due to aging,

Cortisol, often referred to as the “stress hormone,” plays a critical role in blood sugar regulation and metabolic function. While cortisol is essential for survival—helping the body respond to stress, regulate blood pressure, and manage inflammation—chronic cortisol elevation can contribute to insulin resistance, blood sugar imbalances, and metabolic dysfunction. In today’s fast-paced world, chronic stress,
