0:00.0	If you want to live longer and healthier, you got to listen to this. Your mitochondrial health is central
0:05.5	not only to energy, but longevity and disease prevention. And guess what? It can be influenced
0:10.6	positively or negatively by the environment, by nutrition, by your hormones, and even, yes, psychological
0:18.1	factors. And there's simple lifestyle, nutritional, and mental, emotional things you can do right now
