Many of the labs that got involved, there was a gentleman named Dr. Hemal Patel.
I call him the godfather of mitochondria because he's an amazing, amazing person to talk to.
I don't think there's anyone on the planet that understands it more than him.
He also oversees all the Joe Dispenza meditation work along with Dr. Toby Muller Bertram.
So those are the two co-founders with myself and Steve.
on our team.
And so we started funding out of UC San Diego, the research and assessment of mitochondria and trying to figure out how to bring this as a commercially viable product.
The only way, as I mentioned, was that muscle tissue biopsy.
Then we went into plasma, which was part of the NASA twin study, but still expensive to assess plasma and the processing of it and the accuracy.
It's a little inconsistent.
We did a new technology and cracked the code back in 2022 utilizing adoptive transfer, which means we look at a baseline cell assay and we run a serum separation card to take your blood.
Super simple.
You can do it in the privacy of your own home.
Takes three minutes or you can do it in a clinical setting.
That blood dries.
We spin that down through our sets of equipment that are like $650,000 a piece in our lab.
It's insane.
And so we run that processing and we run that analysis to understand what's going on with you and the 11 core functions of your mitochondria.
Things like reactive oxygen species, your glycolysis, your mito network, right?
All of these things have a massive impact on your day-to-day life.
