Your mitochondria do far more than power your cells. They’re a core part of your antiviral immune system.

New research shows that the mitochondrial peptide MOTS-c may help strengthen MAVS signaling, improves mitochondrial fusion, and helps reduce viral replication.

When your mitochondria work better, your immunity works better, especially during winter when viral pressure rises.

Want to support mitochondrial and immune health this season? Schedule a complimentary intro call with a member of the Raden team to learn more.

Heard about CGMs but have no idea what it is and if it’s right for you?

A Continuous Glucose Monitor tracks your blood sugar in real time, offering a clearer picture of your metabolic health than any one-time lab draw and helping you make informed, data-driven choices to enhance your wellness. CGM allows you to see how different foods, activities, and habits impact your blood sugar levels, empowering you with new data to take control of your health.

Jordan sat down with Dr. Mara Raden and Karen Raden to explain why CGMs aren’t just for diabetes.

They’re one of the most powerful tools for personalized nutrition, helping you see exactly how different foods impact your glucose, energy, cravings, and weight.

CGM allows you to see how different foods, activities, and habits impact your blood sugar levels, empowering you with new data to take control of your health.

With the guidance of our expert dietitian, Karen Raden, you’ll be able to analyze glucose patterns, tailor your diet, and make adjustments that support your energy, metabolism, and overall well-being.

Ultra-processed foods aren’t just “less healthy”, they fundamentally disrupt how your body is designed to function.

A new Lancet series is raising global concern, linking high UPF intake to inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, disrupted hunger signals, accelerated aging, and higher risk for chronic disease.

The issue isn’t just calories. It’s the additives, altered textures, engineered flavors, and chemical load your biology was never meant to process.

The good news? You have more control than you think. Small shifts toward real, whole foods create dramatic improvements in energy, cravings, digestion, hormone balance, and long-term health.

At Raden, we help you understand exactly how your nutrition is impacting your biology through advanced biomarker testing and personalized protocols.

Your body is designed for real food. Your future health depends on it.

Creatine isn’t just for athletes.

New clinical research is revealing its potential to support women through one of the most significant physiological transitions of their lives: perimenopause and menopause.

In the first randomized controlled trial of its kind, creatine supplementation was shown to increase brain energy, sharpen cognitive processing, support metabolic markers, and improve mood and fatigue, without contributing to weight gain. These findings offer a new lens on women’s health at midlife and highlight creatine’s role far beyond muscle performance.

Creatine fuels ATP production, the primary energy source every cell relies on. As hormonal changes affect cognition, metabolism, and overall vitality, maintaining adequate creatine stores may help sustain clarity, steadiness, and resilience.

At Raden Wellness, our third-party tested Creatine Powder is formulated for purity, accuracy, and clinical efficacy, helping you support brain function, metabolic stability, and long-term health from the cellular level up.

Most people assume probiotics are always good for gut health, but that isn’t always true.

Karen Raden explains: if you’re dealing with gas, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea, a probiotic may actually make things worse, especially if the root cause is SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth).

Up to 60–70% of IBS is actually SIBO, and the only way to know is with a simple at-home breath test. If SIBO is the cause, you need a targeted plan, not random supplements.

At Raden Wellness, we specialize in gut health, testing, and personalized treatment plans to get to the root cause.

New research has officially linked lupus to a virus that nearly all of us carry: the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV).

For decades, lupus has been one of the most complex autoimmune conditions to understand. This new study finally explains how EBV can trigger an autoimmune cascade by infecting the very cells that are prone to attacking the body.

This finding could completely reshape how we diagnose, treat, and even prevent autoimmune diseases.

At Raden Wellness, we’re committed to uncovering root causes, understanding immune patterns, and empowering patients with answers.

Creatine isn’t just for gym bros, and if you’re a woman, especially in perimenopause or menopause, it might be one of the most impactful supplements you’re not taking.

Creatine naturally fuels your muscles and your brain by powering ATP, your body’s energy currency. With over 1,000 peer-reviewed studies, it’s one of the most researched, safest, and most effective supplements on the planet.

For women, creatine has been shown to:
✅ Preserve muscle during hormonal shifts
✅ Support cognition & memory
✅ Improve mitochondrial function
✅ Protect bone density
✅ Support mood and energy

And the myths?
🚫 No, it doesn’t cause bloating.
🚫 No, it doesn’t damage the kidneys.
Those claims have been thoroughly debunked.

If you care about your muscle, mood, and mitochondria, creatine isn’t optional, it’s foundational.

At Raden Wellness, you’re not a diagnosis. You’re a human with extraordinary potential. And if supporting you in living not just longer, but extraordinarily well, has created any inconvenience, we’ll try to do it again.

What are three things you can start doing today that make a long-lasting impact on your health without overhauling your entire routine?

Functional Medicine Nutritionist Karen Raden, MS, RDN, LDN breaks it down into simple, sustainable habits:

1️⃣ Stop eating after dinner. Give your body time to rest, digest, and keep blood sugar balanced overnight.

2️⃣ Prioritize fiber, fat and protein in the morning. Think MCT oil or coconut milk in your morning beverage, a handful of nuts, or a protein-forward breakfast. This keeps insulin steady and prevents the spike-and-crash cycle.

3️⃣ Don’t let yourself get overly hungry. When blood sugar dips too low, cravings hit hard (and it’s never for broccoli).

Plan ahead. Carry snacks. Keep your energy stable throughout the day.

These three habits support metabolic health, balanced blood sugar, sustained energy, and better decision-making throughout your day.
