🔋 MITOPHAGY: THE CELLULAR RESET YOUR BODY NEEDS Why it matters: • Clears damaged mitochondria → improves energy, reduces oxidative stress • Supports immune health metabolic flexibility • Linked to better outcomes in aging and cancer models  🔥How I activate it: 1. Fasting: 16:8 or 18:6 time-restricted eating 2. Exercise: HIIT strength training to stimulate mitochondrial turnover 3. Nutrition: High in omega-3s, polyphenols, low sugar, ketogenic or low-glycemic where appropriate 4. Detox habits:

Mechanisms Underlying PINK1-linked Parkinson’s Disease --- The protein PINK1 regulates two key energy generation processes: the mitochondrial electron transport chain and mitophagy. Mutations in this protein are also linked to early onset Parkinson’s disease through incompletely characterized mechanisms. Previous work showed that lipids aggregate in the brains of Parkinson’s disease patients. A new study examined the relationship between lipid aggregation and energy generation in PINK1-linked Pa
