Mitochondria or- Today is mitochondria therapy day. So every cell in our body has mitochondria. Tim, you know that, right? Yeah, it's the powerhouse of the cell. Powerhouse of the cell, exactly. And it's a little organelle.

Okay, Freeburg. And then there were three. You know what? Now I'm motivated to do Science Corner as a standalone show. And we're going to launch it in the next month.

So mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, as Tim just told us, educated us, right? So every cell has hundreds of mitochondria. Mitochondria are what are called organelles. They have their own DNA. In fact, evolutionarily, mitochondria were bacteria that basically ended up in the symbiotic relationship with what became our cells.

So we each have mitochondria, hundreds of them in each one of our cells. Each mitochondria has its own nucleus and has its own DNA. And the mitochondria make the energy that the rest of the cell uses. That energy is called ATP. And it eats up glucose or it eats up ketones if you're in ketosis. And it uses that to make the ATP.

So every cell in our body gets its energy, which is what it uses to function from the mitochondria.

And so there's been a lot of research into the relationship between mitochondria and aging and that dysfunctional mitochondria as they start to break down and stop working and have damage may actually be a key driver for many diseases that we experience as humans, including many cancers, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, features of autism, muscle tissues being weak, et cetera.
