But like I was saying at the beginning, I really think that the simplest explanation for why mitochondrial function declines 1% per year and gets cut in half by age 70 is just this like,

When I was injured, my mitochondria were completely obsessed with healing from that injury and a little bit came out of the account used to repair the home base.

Yeah.

And a lot of people aren't necessarily fully recovered from the injury either.

Oh, many, many aren't.

Yeah.

Many, many aren't.

I talked to a guy once who was – he got injured in marathon running and –

He thought he was recovered.

I thought he wasn't recovered.

And he thought there was some kind of metabolic stuff wrong with him because he's getting sick all the time.

I'm like, bro, you didn't recover yet.

Like, what are you doing going out and doing all that running?

I don't remember.

I forgot the specific injury, but one of the common running injuries.

Yeah.

I mean, the brain is a small part of the body, but it's massively outsized in terms of the energy that it consumes.

And so think about if you're actually healing the ability for it, like if it's just sucking even more disproportionate energy from the body.

And just think about how much the rest of the body works to support the brain, like the liver is working all day long to make the brain get enough energy.

Right.
