Prior to beginning a new diet you should undergo a health screening with your physician to confirm that a new diet is suitable for you and to rule out any conditions and contraindications that may pose risks or are incompatible with a new diet, including by way of example: conditions affecting the kidneys, liver or pancreas; muscular dystrophy; pregnancy; breast-feeding; being underweight; eating disorders; any health condition that requires a special diet [other conditions or contraindications]; hypoglycemia; or type 1 diabetes. A new diet may or may not be appropriate if you have type 2 diabetes, so you must consult with your physician if you have this condition. Anyone under the age of 18 should consult with their physician and their parents or legal guardian before beginning such a diet.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina. |
| 0:05.1 | Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I am your host, Vanessa Spina, |
| 0:10.6 | and I am so excited for today's episode because today is episode one in a new series. Last |
| 0:18.1 | summer we did a protein series and now we're starting a new series. I don't know |
| 0:23.2 | if you can guess what it is, but if you've seen the title of this episode, you probably |
| 0:27.9 | already know. It's the mitochondrial health series and we're going to be talking all about |
| 0:33.0 | mitochondria because they are absolutely phenomenal, intriguing, fascinating, and understanding how much they |
| 0:41.2 | hold the keys to our overall health has just been absolutely blowing my mind. And I'm so excited |
| 0:49.1 | to get into it. On today's episode, we're doing sort of a mitochondria 101 episode. |
| 0:55.0 | And we're going to be talking a little bit about how mitochondria work, really the basics of |
| 1:01.8 | how they operate, how they create energy or ATP for us in a process called oxidative |
| 1:08.0 | phospholation. |
| 1:09.0 | I promise I'm not going to get too geeky. I'll try my best. |
| 1:12.5 | But we're going to go through it. It's going to be a deep dive. I'm going to keep things very simple |
| 1:18.4 | and easy to understand. And understanding mitochondrial will help us to go through this concept, which is a new |
| 1:27.0 | concept on this podcast of mitochondrial |
| 1:29.0 | uncoupling and how central this concept is to help us to burn fat effortlessly and to repair |
| 1:39.9 | our mitochondria. Two very important but distinct things that work together and we're going to go |
| 1:45.4 | through all of that on today's episode. So I am so excited for this episode, episode one in our new |
| 1:51.7 | mitochondrial health series and I can't wait to get into it with you all. So let's get started |
| 1:57.7 | with a quick word from today's sponsor. Hi, friends. |
| 2:01.3 | I want to tell you about a very important nutrient that many of us are deficient in and not even aware of it. |
