Fiber plays a role in digestion, but it isn’t fuel. This article explains what actually powers the body and brain, where fiber and butyrate fit, and what to prioritize eating for steadier energy and metabolic stability.

Mitochondria, often called the “powerhouses” of cells, play a crucial role in brain energy and mental health. When mitochondria fail to meet energy demands, neurons may struggle to communicate effectively, potentially contributing to depression and other mood disorders. Research links mitochondrial dysfunction and stress to DNA leakage, inflammation, and worsening depressive symptoms. Studies show that elevated mitochondrial DNA levels in the blood are tied to stress responses and treatment-resistant depression. This growing evidence suggests mitochondria may be a key factor connecting stress, inflammation, and mood, offering new insights into understanding and treating depression.

Mitochondria, the “powerhouses of the cell,” are essential for energy, brain health, and longevity. When they malfunction, they contribute to stress, aging, and chronic illness. This blog explores how mitochondria work, what happens when they break down, and practical ways to protect them—through diet, exercise, sleep, fasting, and toxin reduction. By caring for these tiny engines of life, we can boost energy, support resilience, and build a stronger foundation for lifelong health.

Emotional resilience is something that you can build upon throughout the course of your life. Integrate these helpful tips into your routine and you may begin to notice some positive changes in your life.

Emotional resilience is a powerful thing and necessary for navigating life, but what is it, really? How can someone cultivate it? New research suggests that resilience is a combination of genetic, psychological, biological, social, and spiritual influences. While some of these factors are beyond our control, others, thankfully, can be improved.

Recent research shows that 80% of our daily thoughts are negative and we have difficulty trusting people if we are trying to navigate negative emotions, even if they are unrelated to the person we are trying to get to know. Neural pathways are partly responsible, but we can push back with introspection and proper communication.
