Dr. Tyler LeBaron | Understanding Mitochondria, Aging, and Health #69

Tyler W. LeBaron, MSc., PhD. joins Miesha to break down the science behind molecular hydrogen, mitochondrial health, and why many popular health strategies fail when tested in real humans. Drawing from years of research and clinical studies, Tyler explains how misunderstandings around oxidative stress, antioxidants, and cellular energy have shaped modern health myths—and why real outcomes matter more than theory. They explore how molecular hydrogen works at the cellular level, why mitochondria drive energy and longevity, and what emerging human data reveals about recovery, performance, and survival. If you’re ready to rethink what you’ve been told about health and optimization, this episode will change how you see your body—and how you support it.
