0:31.4	I think the last time we caught up in person was a SIBO symposium.
0:36.3	This may have been like 2016, going back quite a while.
0:41.4	But, you know, we're both still here. I'd like to think fighting the good fight, helping people

So for the audience, here's what we're going to walk through. Firstly, what are the mitochondria? What do they do? Second, how do the mitochondria become damaged? Third, the signs and symptoms that you might have mitochondrial dysfunction.
1:48.3	Fourth, how this relates to the cell danger response, which is, I think, a really critical shift
1:53.8	that if we can help people get out of that is very pivotal.
1:58.2	And then fifth, what can we do to get people out of that sort of stuck mitochondrial
