Mitochondria convert your food to usable energy in the form of ATP, which is used to produce, maintain, repair, distribute, and organize everything in your body.

Abundant health right now, and preserving your health throughout the lifespan toward your longevity, all depends on your mitochondria.

In fact the best explanation for aging is that its a vicious cycle of declining mitochondrial function.

We should always be thinking of mitochondria first. SSRIs, acne treatments, and statins are given as examples. Targeting mitochondria without proper testing has its own set of problems.

This video covers the top things we should all be doing for our mitochondria and how to figure out our own mitochondria's unique needs.

This is not medical advice and is for educational purposes only.

Do You Have Hidden Mitochondrial Dysfunction?

Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the earliest signs of aging and chronic disease—and most people don't know they have it. Mitome is the first at-home test that measures your cellular energy directly and gives you a personalized roadmap to optimize energy, slow aging, and protect against disease.
