Let’s Talk Mitochondria ~Powerhouses Behind Women’s Hormones ✨
When we think of hormone balance, we often jump straight to the ovaries, adrenals, or thyroid…
But before hormones can truly respond to treatment, we need to look deeper, right down to the mitochondria.
Mitochondria are the energy generators inside every cell, driving metabolism, cell repair, and even hormone synthesis (yes, they’re where steroidogenesis begins!).
In women’s health, this matters profoundly:
🌸 Oocytes (egg cells) contain more mitochondria than heart cells — they rely on this energy to mature and thrive.
🌿 Mitochondrial health is inherited through the maternal line, passing from grandmother → mother → child. And when mitochondrial function falters, hormones struggle to stay balanced — contributing to fertility issues, cycle irregularities, PCOS, and perimenopausal changes.
Supporting mitochondrial health can transform hormonal outcomes.
One key nutrient here is Ubiquinol (active CoQ10):
• Therapeutic dosing often starts at 12 mg per kg body weight (typically ≥600 mg daily for women).
• It supports fertility (oocyte & s***m quality), stabilises hormone pathways, and becomes even more crucial during HRT, as levels naturally decline.
☀️ Add in morning sunlight + gentle evening firelight to align your mitochondrial rhythms and reduce dysfunction — a simple but powerful daily ritual.
