Dr. Scott Sherr: why chronic stress disrupts mitochondria and accelerates visible skin aging

Chronic stress isn’t just a mental or emotional burden. It creates a biological cascade that disrupts mitochondrial function, accelerates inflammation, and shows up visibly in the skin long before deeper symptoms appear.

We dive deeper into this in the Biohacking Beauty Podcast with Dr. Scott Sherr. We also talk about the sympathetic spiral of doom, why skin reflects mitochondrial decline before other symptoms appear, and why sequencing interventions matter more than intensity.

Dr. Scott Sherr is a board-certified internal medicine physician certified in Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) and a specialist in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. He is the COO of Troscriptions and focuses clinically on mitochondrial health, stress physiology, and advanced recovery protocols.
