About this listen
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.

Chronic fatigue, burnout, brain fog-no matter what we call it, our constant feeling of being drained affects all that we hold dear. But the very real culprits of our fatigue don't lie in our preconceived notions of caffeine intake or adrenal fatigue, nor does the replenishment of our energy lie in overhauling our lifestyle in time-consuming and unrealistic ways. Instead, the core underlying cause lies in our cells, specifically our mitochondrial deficiency, and the solution can be found in simple, straightforward, nutritional strategies that address our body's biology.

We are in the midst of a global mental health crisis, and mental illnesses are on the rise. But what causes mental illness? And why are mental health problems so hard to treat? Drawing on decades of research, Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer outlines a revolutionary new understanding that for the first time unites our existing knowledge about mental illness within a single framework: mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 11
Aging - not cancer, not heart disease - is the underlying cause of most human death and suffering. The same cascade of biological changes that renders us wrinkled and gray also opens the door to dementia and disease. We work furiously to conquer each individual disease, but we never think to ask: Is aging itself necessary? Nature tells us it is not: There are tortoises and salamanders who are spry into old age and whose risk of dying is the same no matter how old they are.

Good Book
Very dense with knowledge, but a good read. Must have the basics of biology down pat to understand and follow the story.

Cluttered
Some interesting information in a pile of clutter. Hopefully there’s some useful information and not just interesting information as well. But I didn’t discover any practical actionable intel.
There’s no chapter names or headings in the chapter section. Only numbers. Cluttered.
There’s a boatload of illogical clutter. Take for example chapter 3, in chapter section which is chapter one of the book. It is further cluttered by hypothetical questions such as “why did mitochondria retain blah blah if they evolved into blah blah, since the host cell also…”
Wouldn’t it be better to just talk about the mitochondria and it’s functioning instead of speculating where it might have come from? Because the previous question becomes totally useless if it is discovered that the mitochondria didn’t came to be as some now believe. Even if you could answer that what use is it now?
No one has ever observed the hypothetical evolution of mitochondria anyway so it’s not verifiable. It’s evolution is a fairy tale a belief.
Wouldn’t it be better to answer “what, where, when and how” the mitochondria function than speculating about where it might have came from?
Science is observable, duplicatable in a lab. hypothetical evolution of mitochondria might be wrong or correct but who could verify it? It’s evolutionary history is of no use even if it was correct.
Wouldn’t it be more useful to describe the observable functions and structure of mitochondria, instead of hypothetical evolution/history that might be wrong?
I was looking for practical answers to questions like the following:
What does the mitochondria do? What happens if it doesn’t do that?
What do you need to keep your mitochondria healthy?
Instead there’s a lot of supposedly history about supposedly or assumed history that no one observed. Unverifiable past events. So why bother with “how it might have gotten here?” If we can’t even figure out the answer to “what do we feed it and how do we care for it?”🤷♀️
