Improve Energy & Longevity by Optimizing Mitochondria | Dr. Martin Picard

we flow as energetic processes, right?

Huberman Lab

To your point, like we are transformative processes.

Huberman Lab

Like we transform, we flow, we are the energy that flows.

Huberman Lab

And the more you direct energy to one area, right?

If you go to the gym and you do bicep curls, like you're resisting the flow of energy while you're contracting,

And then you do this a few times, and then when you go, you get blood flow, energy flow through the system.

Huberman Lab

And we know exercise training is a beautiful example.

If you're trained to run a marathon, for example, you can double the number of mitochondria in your muscles.

double.

Huberman Lab

And my understanding of this is as energy flows through the existing mitochondria, you're basically bringing energy into that system.

And then the biochemical energy gets transformed into molecules, into metabolites, and then eventually into proteins.

And then structure gets created as energy flows.

Huberman Lab

So it's the flow of energy.

Huberman Lab

First, you resist it,

Huberman Lab
Improve Energy & Longevity by Optimizing Mitochondria | Dr. Martin Picard

We call this energy resistance.

Huberman Lab

And then when you let go of the resistance, that's when we build.

Huberman Lab
Improve Energy & Longevity by Optimizing Mitochondria | Dr. Martin Picard

That's when we grow.

Huberman Lab

That's when Arnold Schwarzenegger said, muscles are torn in the gym.

Huberman Lab

They're fed in the kitchen and are...

Grown in bed, I think.
