E294: The Real Cause of Afternoon Fatigue: Circulation, Mitochondria, and Cellular Energy with Dr. Luke Bucci

[upbeat music] Welcome to Wellness Your Way.

I'm your host, Dr. Megan Lyons, and I've helped tens of thousands of people find their own way to wellness through the functional nutrition services offered at the Lyons Share Wellness.

Wellness Your Way is an extension of that work, aimed to help you find your unique path to feeling your very best.

Each week, we'll go through tactical strategies you can use to improve your health, happiness, and quality of life.

So grab a mug of tea or lace up your walking shoes.

We're about to dive in.

[upbeat music] Welcome back to episode 294 of Wellness Your Way.

This episode is for you if you are worried about circulation and blood flow, and if you're like, "Mm, no, I'm not really worried about circulation and blood flow," well, think about what happens if you don't have circulation and blood flow.

It is not a good story, as we'll discuss.

So we- we'll talk all about how to naturally increase circulation, blood flow, how to, uh, restore the health of our mitochondria and keep our mitochondria very healthy and high-functioning.

We'll talk about that afternoon slump that many people feel.

We will talk about nitric oxide and what that is and why it's getting popular in supplements these days.

We'll talk a little bit about all of this.

If you are someone with a body, you have circulation and blood flow, and it is worth thinking about it.

Frankly, I'm surprised that we haven't yet dedicated an episode of Wellness Your Way to this topic, so it is a perfect time.

And I have a guest here to talk about circulation and blood flow and energy and mitochondria and all of that with me.
