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

And if energy starts to stall, it just feels so uncomfortable.

Huberman Lab

We have to have evolved to feel this.

If something is making your energy stall, like there's not enough oxygen around, you need to get out of there.

And you need to have this instinct, right, to survive.

So what's trying to survive is not, like, the physical body.

Huberman Lab

It's this flow of energy that's, you know, being threatened, right, from lacking oxygen.

Is it a trade-off?

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

I don't think we know exactly, but we did a study recently that points to the fact that there might be trade-offs between different systems.

Sorry, meatheads.

Huberman Lab

No, I'm just kidding.

You know, we tested the hypothesis that if you have more mitochondria in your muscles, you also have more in your brain and in your heart and in your liver and in your skin.

And the result is that's not the case.

Huberman Lab

And, you know, you, Andrew, I think you seem to derive a lot of fulfillment and, you know...

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

You live up to your full potential when you can do all of these things, right?

Huberman Lab

And you're a great communicator.

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

You're a great integrator.

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

You know, the kind of thinking you do is like this beautiful integrative thinking, which might be what has led you to do what you do now, right, with most of your time.

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

Because this really taps into your strengths.

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

It really moves you.

Huberman Lab

I suspect, energetically.
