Hey there, this is Ari. Welcome back to the Energy Blueprint Podcast. With me today is my good friend,

Dr. Michael Murray, who is one of the legends in the field of natural health. He's written a

huge number of books. He's been around for decades. He still

looks amazing, by the way, well into his second half of life, and which speaks volumes about

how useful his ideas are and how well they work, by the way. I think that's a good mark

public on the healing power of nature. He's authored over 40 books, including the Encyclopedia of

Natural Medicine and his latest book, The Longevity Matrix.

With no further ado, enjoy this wonderful conversation with Dr. Michael Murray on optimizing

Now, with that said, one of the things that I've noticed is that many experts, including

myself as someone who focuses on mitochondria, have different ways of speaking about mitochondria, are focused on different aspects of it.

And I think, you know, more broadly from the time that you were going through your university and graduate school education and even during the time I was doing that

the mitochondria were kind of just hey these are one of many organelles of the cell and this is the powerhouse of the cell and their job is to take in carbs and fats and pump out

ATP. But really in the last decade, especially, there's been all this science that's
