Forming our steroid biosynthesis even. Steroid biosynthesis? Yeah, so cholesterol is the building block of all of our steroid hormones. So the very first step where cholesterol turns into pregnenolone, which is kind of the grandmother of steroids, happens in the mitochondria.
Oh, wow. That was super important. Yeah, people don't really talk about the mitochondrial health. All right, guys, Dr. Beth McDougall here today. We're going to talk longevity. Thanks for coming in today. My pleasure. Happy to be here. Absolutely. So what's new in the space?
Gosh, so much. We really have the tools now and the knowledge to extend life and health span. And that's what I spend all my day doing with people. Yeah, just looking at studies and seeing what the next new thing is. Yeah. Yeah, it seems like every year there's a new device or a new method for biohacking, right?
And it's really a new understanding. about how you keep your mitochondria kind of energized and really improve the energetics in the system. I feel like with optimal energetics, we don't really have to age. We age biologically, chronologically, but not biologically. Yeah, so what exactly is energetics for people that are pretty beginner to this?
Well, you think about, first of all, just backing up, we live in a field of energy and information. Not only do we live within it, but it lives within us. And we and every other aspect of our material reality is derived from it. And when you look at the kind of structure and makeup of this field, like at the quantum level, it's incredibly potent and energetic.
And the energy transfers up in the kind of a fractal nature of the different scales from the quantum scale all the way up to the universal scale. Wow. And our biology is hooked right into that. It has the same patterns, the same ratios, the same organization, but just at a different scale.
So I really think the mitochondria are kind of our plug-in, so to speak, into this unlimited field of energy. And so if we can keep our mitochondria optimized and really improve mitochondrial energetics, we don't have to age anymore. That's fascinating. So over time, the aging process is because of mitochondrial damage or how does that work exactly?
Absolutely. Yeah. The mitochondria get damaged from toxic fats that collect in the mitochondrial membrane, oxidative damage. And then also we're not spending enough time outside. We've disconnected from the diurnal patterns of the earth. And actually that reconnecting is super critical for optimal mitochondrial function. If you go outside in the morning
put your bare feet on the earth and watch the sun come up and kind of crest the horizon, you're getting the red light, the near infrared light that's very good for the mitochondria. Yeah, good old grounding. Hard to beat that.
