S2E9: Mitochondria, Microbes and Meaning-Thriving from Inside Out
About this episode
Your mitochondria and microbes are ancient communities that mirror how we live, connect, and find purpose. We keep turning to the outside to learn from others, instead of tapping into this profound inner wisdom. In this episode, I explore what these inner networks teach us about resilience, loneliness, purpose, and thriving from the inside out.
You'll learn:
- Mitochondria origin story
- Lessons we can learn from mitochondria and microbial behaviors
- How Survival fo the Fittest has led us astray
- How mitochondria and microbes communicate with the brain
- The loneliness myth and what might matter more than social connection
