The book has information for patients and practitioners on optimizing mitochondrial function for greater health and longevity.

Why do we age? Why does cancer develop? What's the connection between heart failure and Alzheimer's disease or infertility and hearing loss? Can we extend lifespan, and if so, how? What is the exercise paradox? Why do antioxidant supplements sometimes do more harm than good? Many will be amazed to learn that all these questions, and many more, can be answered by a single point of discussion: mitochondria and bioenergetics.

In Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine, naturopathic doctor Lee Know tells the epic story of mitochondria - the widely misunderstood and often-overlooked powerhouses of our cells. The legendary saga began over two billion years ago, when one bacterium entered another without being digested, which would evolve to create the first mitochondrion. Since then, for life to exist beyond single-celled bacteria, it's the mitochondria that have been responsible for this life-giving energy. By understanding how our mitochondria work, in fact, it is possible to add years to our lives, and life to our years.

Current research, however, has revealed a dark side: many seemingly disconnected degenerative diseases have tangled roots in dysfunctional mitochondria. However, modern research has also endowed us with the knowledge on how to optimize its function, which is of critical importance to our health and longevity.

Lee Know offers cutting-edge information on supplementation and lifestyle changes for mitochondrial optimization, such as CoQ10, D-Ribose, cannabinoids, and ketogenic dietary therapy and how to implement their use successfully.

Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine is an invaluable resource for practitioners interested in mitochondrial medicine and the true roots of chronic illness and disease as well as anyone interested in optimizing their health.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

After reading this book and listening to other medical professionals discuss mitochondria, II’m convinced that this will be an extraordinarily important area of research and treatment in the very near future! it seems that we have barely scratched the surface.

Wow, fascinating!

If you're looking to build a house, you don't start building the roof. You start with the foundation, build the rest of the framework from the ground up. Same thing with the human body when it comes to health and wellness. Mitochondria are the foundation of health at a cellular level.

When Mitochondria function optimally, it means the rest of your body and it's metabolism is working as it should. When your metabolism is off, it impacts your Mitochondria and subsequently energy production and overall health and wellness. Its a cyclical relationship and one that we generally don't think of. We tend to think that the Mitochondria just handle their business as part of normal metabolic function.

Unfortunately that's not the case. There are so many factors that go into metabolic function that it would take an entire book to explain them all in detail. This is that book. If you're looking to optimize health, and understand that you build a strong house from the foundation up - this book is essential reading.

The great thing is you don't need a medical degree to understand it either. A basic level of biology, physics and anatomy and physiology is enough to really get a lot of value from this material.

Mitochondria; Not just ATP energy generators...

Little dry at first but very good practical insights throughout this book. I really enjoyed it.

Good info

The book was very intricate in the explination of mitochondria. It was nice to learn about the many supplements to use to increase the mitochondria functioning and improvement.
The writer is stuck on the illogical evolution and climate change narrative.
I enjoyed listening to this.

Supplements & How the mitochondria functions

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

This is pretty technical with a lot of vocabulary that is very specific to biology. For the average person you're left feeling like the recommendations for supplements are critical for survival. The book talks like it is an open and shut case. That was the one thing I did not like about the book. It seemed like some of the supplement recommendations didn't have a lot of scientific testing behind them. at least not on human beings. You don't know for sure about side effects from some of the supplements. That being said, the descriptions he gives about how the body operates are very eye-opening and interesting, technical jargon aside.

mostly good

This is a fantastic and essential book for your library. It also contains crucial and fundamental insights into the role of CoQ 10 and PPQ's effect on enzymes that are responsible for mitochondrial health, repair and proliferation, aka youth and longevity.
