Summary

Mitochondria are organelles, or “small bodies”, within your cells responsible for producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the body. If mitochondria aren’t functioning properly, your cells aren’t fed. Some contributors to mitochondrial damage include environmental toxins like Roundup in food, poor diet that includes refined carbohydrates and added sugars, and even too many nutrients overall. The result could be inflammation, and other conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, infertility, or neural degeneration. To restore optimal function, consider a regimen that avoids packaged, processed foods and incorporates polyphenols and heart health supplements. As well, incorporate light exercise and proper breathing. https://drruscio.com/?p=29580

0:50.5	Hey, thanks, Michael. Great to be here with you. It's great to have you here. And this will be the third conversation we've had on mitochondria.
0:58.2	And each one with a slightly different perspective, one with a dentist, Alan Danenberg, who was discussing kind of the periodontitis, oral health, you know, mitochondrial connection, also with John Kaiser,
