fried with free radicals. Remember, the free radicals never stop because they're a natural byproduct of ATP. But you previously had this protection that did not cause the damage to occur. So after the age of 40, you do not have... And why 40? And why does it slow down after 30? Well, other things slow down too. Hormones, melatonin. There's lots of things your body stops making by the time of 40.

And the reason is we've been on earth for 2 million years. And biologically, we used to always die at 30. This ability of us to live to 60 and 70 and 80 and 90 is only in the last 150 years. It's a lifestyle change. But our biology has not caught up with our lifestyle. So our body slows down, thinks it's, you know, retirement time. It just slows down just about everything.

Women, estrogen, people don't know this, but estrogen is actually an antioxidant. women, when your estrogen level drops, when you go through perimenopause and menopause, you are losing the protective capability of the estrogen to protect your mitochondria. This is why you get brain fog. This is why you get fatigue. It's because the estrogen drop is causing

Women, estrogen, people don't know this, but estrogen is actually an antioxidant. women, when your estrogen level drops, when you go through perimenopause and menopause, you are losing the protective capability of the estrogen to protect your mitochondria. This is why you get brain fog. This is why you get fatigue. It's because the estrogen drop is causing

the mitochondria to be no longer protected from that antioxidant benefit. The double-edged sword is your mitochondria is also a precursor to creating estrogen. So as the mitochondria get damaged, it's not making as much estrogen. The estrogen drops, which means there's less protection. So you see what happens.

So this is why women in particular, absolutely after 40, must be taking spirulina so we can get back the superoxide dismutase, get your all that free radical damage and turn the lights back on. You literally feel like the lights come back on. And the first place you feel it is in your brain because your brain has the most mitochondria. So that's sort of what's going on and why it's happening.

But I'm going to give you even more science because it's so important to me that you understand this. Because once you understand, it's like cooking. It's a recipe. Or if you're an athlete, you know what you need to do. You have to do legs one day and arms the next day. There's always a routine to follow to achieve your goal.

So I want to go a little bit further so you have even clearer understanding of what's really going on. So back to the mitochondria and that inner membrane, okay? So this ATP production stuff actually occurs on that inner membrane itself. And see how it's all convoluted? And evolutionarily, it was so clever because when it's convoluted, you have more surface. Same with your brain.

Same with your brain.

It's all wrinkles. It's because that gives you more surface. Even in your DNA, there's what's called folded proteins. So there's more surface. So you have this folded surface on the inside. And that surface in the inner membrane is where the actual ATP is produced. So I'm going to show you how it actually happens. So here's the surface, okay, the inner membrane of the mitochondria.

And there's these four little molecules embedded in the surface, okay? And there's a couple of helper molecules. One you've probably heard of called CoQ10. And the other one is cytochrome C, which you've probably never heard of. Think of these molecules embedded in your mitochondria, inner membrane, kind of like runners in a relay race. You've all seen a relay race. You have a runner with a baton.

You've all seen a relay race. You have a runner with a baton.

One runner runs a certain distance, passes the baton to the next runner, who then runs a certain distance, passes it to the next one, and then they hopefully win the race. Well, instead of runners, you have these molecules. And instead of a baton, you have electrons, okay? The goal is ATP production instead of crossing the finish line.
