Inherited Trauma: The Hidden Reason Depression Runs In Your Family

Inherited Trauma: The Hidden Reason Depression Runs In Your Family

Author: Josh Trent January 13, 2026 Duration: 1:05:54

Is mitochondrial decline the hidden blueprint that decides how fast your body ages?

Josh Trent welcomes Dr. Brad Currier, PhD, Clinical Scientist, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 793, to unpack how mitochondrial health is passed through generations, why modern environments and sedentary living accelerate aging, how mitophagy and Urolithin A restore cellular energy, why gut health blocks or enables longevity, and how exercise plus targeted supplementation can fundamentally shift mood, vitality, and long term health from the inside out.

Mitopure® is a highly pure form of Urolithin A, a postbiotic clinically shown to energize cells, increase muscle strength, and improve endurance. And this is just the beginning. New studies continuously explore and prove the incredible potential of Urolithin A.
