Mitochondria: Why They Control Everything in Human Health

Mitochondria govern everything. Watch this with the slides here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mED1_L3wZbc Mitochondria convert your food to usable energy in the form of ATP, which is used to produce, maintain, repair, distribute, and organize everything in your body. Abundant health right now, and preserving your health throughout the lifespan toward your longevity, all depends on your mitochondria. In fact the best explanation for aging is that its a vicious cycle of declining mitochondrial function. We should always be thinking of mitochondria first. SSRIs, acne treatments, and statins are given as examples. Targeting mitochondria without proper testing has its own set of problems. This video covers the top things we should all be doing for our mitochondria and how to figure out our own mitochondria's unique needs. This is not medical advice and is for educational purposes only. 1:20 Mitochondria govern everything because they convert food into usable energy 7:25 Mitochondrial dysfunction drives aging 10:43 Depression starts with your mitochondria 17:26 The problem with SSRIs 21:59 Acne should start with vitamin A, zinc, B5, and mitochondrial function 28:00 Cardiovascular disease starts with mitochondrial dysfunction 40:26 Statins are mitochondrial toxins 54:00 Targeting mitochondria without testing can be dangerous: three examples. 59:45 CoQ10: no one dose and no one supplement for everyone. 1:04:30 Methylene blue can make your mitochondria worse if you don't need it. 1:07:48 The power of mitochondrial testing: three examples 1:15:14 Mitochondrial biology 1:17:32 Your mitochondria are pointless if you don't have creatine 1:18:20 What Mitome is testing 1:20:42 What Mitome reports look like 1:21:57 Energetic bottlenecks are like traffic jams 1:25:01 Organic acid testing of mitochondrial function 1:26:53 Other mitochondrial tests 1:27:44 Five things everyone should do for their mitochondria right now. 1:40:48 We all have unique mitochondrial needs Do You Have Hidden Mitochondrial Dysfunction? Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the earliest signs of aging and chronic disease—and most people don't know they have it. Mitome is the first at-home test that measures your cellular energy directly and gives you a personalized roadmap to optimize energy, slow aging, and protect against disease. Find it at mito.me
