So let's talk about what the hell this stuff is.

Mitochondria.

Big word.

Sounds cool.

What is it?

Think of mitochondria as really the powerhouse within the cell with two membranes.

It's got two membranes of barrier.

You have about 37 trillion of these puppies in your body.

Let's reiterate that.

37 trillion, okay?

When you think about that number, that's pretty crazy.

Your heart is filled with upwards of 40% mitochondria right now while you're talking to me, okay?

Every cell in your body has it, but red blood cells.

Every non-communicable chronic disease on the planet has some sort of tie to mitochondria as a core feature, whether it's a dysfunction or a deficiency within your mitochondria.

Non-communicable chronic disease is just a fancy way of saying things like diabetes.

cancer, heart disease, inflammation, neurodegeneration, whether it's Alzheimer's and Parkinson's or ALS or Frederick's atoxia, all of these things are tied to mitochondria.

Okay.

So that is a big, big element of this thing.

Another mito fact, as I call them, is that you inherit your mitochondria directly from your mother.

Your mitochondrial DNA comes directly from your mother.
