Episode description

Did you know that you are essentially a battery-powered organism? Mitochondria are specialized structures that are found in large numbers in most cells and are behind the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production. Its main function is to break down carbohydrates and fatty acids in order to generate energy as well as synthesize proteins for their particular use, which is why mitochondria is generally thought of as the cell’s battery pack. Just think how great it would be to somehow increase your body's mitochondrial count without having to submit to injections or a visit to some fancy clinic for gene therapy. The good news is that you can and that is what’s on the table in this episode, so jump in!
