Mitochondrial Dysfunction - The Cell as a City

Mitochondrial dysfunction may be one of the most important topics in the area of personalized and preventative medicine to date. Thousands of articles have been published on the nature of how mitochondria become damaged and what that means for health, longevity, and aging. On today’s podcast, we take a deep dive into the triggers for mitochondrial dysfunction and what clinical conditions are related to damaged mitochondria.

We also discuss how to arm your arsenal with everyday items to help stability, protect, and maintain our mitochondria. We also discuss how other systems within and outside the cell are impacted by these “power plants” within.
