When you hear the words Alzheimer's disease, what do you think of? The truth is, the picture most of us have of the disease is incomplete. Alzheimer's disease doesn't start when someone starts to lose their memory. It actually starts years – sometimes decades – earlier.

This week on Mini Mikkipedia, Mikki takes a deep dive into the science of Urolithin A — the “mitochondrial molecule” making waves across the health and longevity world. Is it a genuine breakthrough or just another overhyped supplement? Mikki unpacks the research behind this postbiotic compound, how it supports mitophagy (the clean-up and renewal of mitochondria), and what human studies really show about its impact on strength, endurance, and inflammation. She explores its potential for midlife health, particularly during perimenopause, and weighs it against the proven benefits of exercise, fasting, and a nutrient-dense diet. Expect an evidence-based take on whether it’s worth adding to your stack — or just good marketing dressed in lab coat chic.
Highlights:
- How mitochondrial dysfunction drives aging and fatigue
- What Urolithin A is and how your gut bacteria make it
- Human trials showing modest but measurable benefits
- Why exercise still beats any supplement for mitochondrial health
- Who might actually benefit from Urolithin A supplementation
