Still exhausted months or even years after treatment? You're not lazy, and it's not in your head. In this solo episode, Jen dives into the tiny power plants inside your cells, your mitochondria, and why they matter so much for energy after cancer.

Then she shares six simple, doable ways to support your mitochondria starting this week, plus what she personally takes every day.

Mitochondria 101: how your cells make energy
