Why energy changes with age and what your cells have to do with it.

In this special episode of Health Uncensored, Dr. Drew takes a deeper look at what really happens to the body as we age, starting at the cellular level. While many people notice changes in energy, recovery, and metabolism over time, few understand the biological drivers behind those shifts.

Through expert conversations and real-world field segments, the episode explores the role of mitochondria and how their function changes with age. Dr. Drew speaks with scientists, medical professionals, and fitness experts to explain why fatigue, slower recovery, and metabolic changes are not personal failures, but biological signals.

The episode also highlights why women often experience these changes more sharply during midlife, as hormonal shifts influence how cells produce and use energy. The takeaway is clear: aging does not have to mean decline. By understanding what’s happening inside the body, people can make more informed choices that support energy, resilience, and long-term vitality.
