Your mitochondria, they're not doing the same thing all the time.

So if we did this experiment, 24 hours looking at mitochondria.

And if you look at what mitochondria are doing over 24 hours, it's shifting.

It's not the same even over a three-hour period.

It's shifting.

And so the proteins that we have in different parts of mitochondria are changing in concentration radically.

It's a very, very active area.

So if you're doing research on mitochondria and you're not taking account of time a day, you may have a problem.

But the mornings are very, very special.

In the morning, there are lots of things changing in your body.

Your hormone levels are very, very different.

Your blood sugars tend to be picking up.

You've been asleep.

a predator may have been watching you.

You need to wake up and you need to be ready on the road.

You can't be like a lizard that's got to wait for the sun to rise and to get themselves into a position where you can get your body temperature up.

So the morning is very important.

You're making more ATP, this petrol that mitochondria make, in the morning than at any other time.

Now, I can improve function across a wide range of issues

in the morning.
