Most people focus on diet, exercise, and supplements, but they’re missing a crucial piece of the puzzle: mitochondrial health. According to Dr. Hemal Patel, mitochondria do a lot more than just generate energy—they dictate your resilience, longevity, and overall well-being.

In this episode, Dr. Patel breaks down why mitochondrial health is the missing link in most longevity discussions. He reveals what your mitochondria can tell you about your overall health, how stress impacts their function, and why most people unknowingly walk around in a state of mitochondrial dysfunction.

He also explains his groundbreaking mescreen test, which analyzes mitochondrial function from just a few drops of blood—opening the door to personalized insights on energy metabolism, stress resilience, and long-term health.

"Mitochondria become sort of this real conduit for how we live and survive." ~ Dr. Hemal Patel
