Today, I’m joined by neuroscientist and longevity researcher for MitoQ, Dr. Siobhan Mitchell, whose passion for brain health and mitochondrial science runs deep. In this episode, Dr. Mitchell opens up about her personal journey—witnessing her grandmother’s struggle with Alzheimer’s—which inspired her to dedicate her career to understanding and preventing brain aging. Her experience spans some of the world’s largest nutrition and food companies, yet her heart remains focused on innovative ways to protect the brain and body, starting with our cellular engines: the mitochondria.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
