a pro-inflammatory dysfunctional immune phenotype, meaning somebody who has a dysfunctional immune system just as the result of the damaged mitochondria. And then from there, there are neurological immune cells called glial cells. They will enter something called glial activation and end up with a pro-inflammatory immune subset in the brain.

Brain on fire, exactly. So tired, dysfunctional immune system, brain on fire, strictly from the mitochondrial damage that comes from the viral infection. And of course, in the United States, with all the metabolic dysfunction that exists. You already have mitochondrial issues, right? Massive mitochondrial issues to begin with, right? So that's why we're seeing a bigger problem with it here.

It's clear. So if mitochondria can run either on something called oxidative phosphorylation, sorry for the fancy words, but to- It's burning carbs. Yeah, right. Burning oxygen and carbs, but that's an efficient form of converting food into energy.

Yeah, right? Less fuel, more miles, right? And the more miles you get out of the amount of fuel, the less antioxidants or less oxidative injury is produced by the mitochondria. In metabolic dysfunction like insulin resistance, the mitochondria are not running on diesel. They're running on the least efficient fuel on the planet. So one gallon will get them a mile.

And in doing so, they burn through all of their antioxidant reservoir because the mitochondrial production relies on this continuous balance between producing things that require us to produce antioxidants to neutralize. Otherwise, the mitochondria damages itself, right? So you imagine somebody with insulin resistance running on that very inefficient fuel system.

They're teetering on the edge, barely making it with the antioxidants. All of a sudden, a huge oxidative injury like COVID comes along, tipping point. Now the mitochondria cannot function anymore because you don't have enough antioxidants to meet what it's producing. And essentially what happens is
