0:00.0	How do you prevent cancer? You just keep your mitochondria healthy.
0:03.2	How do you do that? Well, you avoid the secondary risk factors as best you can.
0:07.6	Some of these risk factors are very difficult to avoid.
0:10.7	Let's be honest, we're sitting in traffic in cars.
0:13.1	We don't have the necessary exercise to keep our mitochondria healthy.
0:16.7	We're running around in a very hyper-society.
0:19.4	All of these things will cause chronic damage to oxidative phosphorylation
0:24.2	and then put yourselves at risk for some form of cancer.
0:27.9	Welcome to the Drew Pro at Podcast.
0:29.9	Each week, we explore the inner workings of the body
0:32.4	with one of the brightest minds in wellness, medicine, and mindset.
