The Mito Call Protocol
New research reveals that mitochondrial health isn’t uniform across the body. Building muscle after 40 or 50 may redirect mitochondrial energy away from organs like the brain. Here’s how colostrum, royal jelly, and targeted strategies can restore mitochondrial balance.

I recently reviewed a new open-access study titled Brain–body mitochondrial distribution patterns lack coherence and point to tissue-specific regulatory mechanisms. One finding stood out: gaining muscle in your 40s and 50s could potentially divert mitochondrial resources, reducing ATP production capacity in other organs. In other words, increasing mitochondrial density in skeletal muscle might come at a cost to other tissues like the brain or liver. While researchers have long understood that mitochondria behave differently across organs, this idea is still new to most outside the field. It challenges the assumption of a unified “mitochondrial health” and forces us to rethink how we approach mitochondrial support and regeneration as we age.
The first part of this report explains the report. The second part discusses a potential solution. And the third part provides a protocol for slowing age-related deficiencies that could lead to mitochondrial dysfunction or performance imbalance.
