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.

If you want clarity instead of guesswork, start with the pathway that produces your energy.
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.

Hi Chris -- iron-sulfur clusters seem quite important for functioning of Complexes 1 & 2. With that said, some individuals suffer from sulfur metabolism issues. Do you have any sense of how to manage this catch 22 in which sulfur is so critical for mitochondrial functioning, yet an individual may experience deleterious effects from its intake?
Can you post a transcript of your video please?
