The mitochondria, the first thing that comes to people's mind, right, is powerhouse of the cell, right?

and now it's everywhere.

The science around mitochondrial health and its importance, as you pointed out, not just in

performance and, you know, metabolism, but just longevity.

The science is incredible and we've barely scratched the surface.

And so we're going to be hearing a lot more about it. We're going to be learning about more about it,
