99% of people on the planet, when they think of mitochondria, and I was one of them until five, six years ago,

You think of mitochondria, they know maybe one or two facts.

The first is energy in the body.

The ATP energy in the body produces the energy, outlay of energy.

The second is the powerhouse of the cell.

It's what we all learned in school, right?

But that's essentially the depth of knowledge base that 99% of the people have had up until now.

Even healthcare providers, doctors will tell you that they did not learn cellular health in med school.

It was literally breezed over and there just was not a lot of substance on the curriculum around it because never before was there a way to assess it.

The only way to assess mitochondria for 50 plus years is a six inch needle through the thigh.

It's called a muscle tissue biopsy.

It's super painful.

When I was on with Ben Greenfield, he was telling me he got two done in one day and then had to go like do an Ironman.

I go, you're crazy because it feels like you have a Charlie horse for a month.

It's very expensive, over 2000 plus dollars just in lab costs to do it.

You have to be onsite in that clinical setting.

They have to pull out real live tissue and process it right away.

There's only a handful of labs that do that.

So nobody on the planet, whether you're Harvard, Oxford, MD Anderson, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, none of them were able to accurately or scalably run assessments on mitochondria as it pertains to chronic disease,

as it pertains to longevity and anti-aging or in peak performance in athletes.
