In this eye-opening episode of the College of Glycation, Dr. Paul Reynolds—Professor of Cell Biology and Physiology—unpacks the hidden connection between glycation, mitochondrial damage, and declining cellular energy. He explains how sugar-driven advanced glycation end products (AGEs) sabotage the mitochondria—the body’s energy factories—by damaging key proteins, increasing oxidative stress, and choking off ATP production. The result? Fatigue, brain fog, metabolic inflexibility, and accelerated aging.

Blending cutting-edge research with practical strategies, Dr. Reynolds reveals how to protect and restore your mitochondria through blood sugar control, targeted nutrition, and exercise that sparks mitochondrial renewal. Whether you’re aiming for sharper thinking, higher energy, or healthier aging, this episode offers the science and solutions to keep your cellular engines running strong.
