But that involves a min-max problem, which is a big part of what we're going to talk about today.

So that's how I think about the triangle.

Yeah, so it's really funny because I've noticed some amazing memes on Instagram where you basically have people that are making fun of anybody that uses the word mitochondria.

So somehow, because I don't really pay attention to the wellness influencer health space, apparently the word mitochondria is now just one of those buzzwords that you should throw around as much as possible.

And so if you're playing sort of wellness influencer bingo,

You're going to get a lot of points for mitochondria.

Can't remember some of the other awesome words that are just basically pathognomonic for buffoonery.

Have you seen any of these memes?

They're amazing.

It's like mitochondria, inflammation, gut biome, like they've got all the buzzwords.

Protein, I'm sure.

You've set me up now to trigger a bingo card, but I guess you're right.

You can't have this discussion without doing this.

So hopefully I'm going to get an exemption for my use of the word mitochondria here.

At the foundation of your cardiorespiratory system are these organelles called mitochondria.

And of course, all of you who took a high school class in biology will remember that they're referred to as sort of the little power units of the cell.

And the majority of our ATP is produced by them.

And again, ATP is the currency for energy.

Just because I can't resist giving one more level of detail.

The way ATP work is they donate.
