0:00.0	Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasno. Today on the show, I welcome Chris Rinch.
0:15.0	Chris is a biotech innovator who developed the proprietary technology in mitopure, a supplement clinically shown
0:24.1	to improve mitochondrial health, muscle strength, and endurance in human beings. Now, many of us remember
0:31.6	from biology class that the mitochondria are the power plants of the cell. But as we'll soon learn, these little
0:39.8	jelly bean-shaped organelles do a lot more than produce ATP. They are essential to so many
0:47.5	processes from apoptosis to gene expression to neurotransmitter production. It might appear found its origin in a study where Chris and his team observed a decline of the mitochondrial function
1:02.0	in the muscle tissue of individuals experiencing mobility issues.
1:07.0	So they asked the question, how can we reverse the decline of mitochondrial function and boost the recycling of damaged mitochondria?
1:18.6	As it turns out, there is a compound in pomegranates that do just that.
1:24.6	But it is not advisable from a blood sugar perspective and from other perspectives to
1:31.3	drink the amount of pomegranate juice that you need to get a sufficient volume of those compounds.
1:38.5	And that is how and why mitopure was born. But before we dive figuratively into the mitochondria and the science behind the
1:48.1	compound known as uralithin A, here is a brief reminder about our commune course platform.
1:55.7	If you're interested in functional medicine and integrative medicine with fantastic doctors like Mark
2:03.6	Hyman and Sarah Gottfried, Kara Fitzgerald, Jolene Brighton, and Roger Schwellt on topics such
2:09.6	as gut health, sleep, immunity, hormone balancing, Iyer-Veta, and nutrition.
