Optimizing Mitochondrial Function and Metabolism

This chapter explores strategies to enhance mitochondrial health by focusing on the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, emphasizing the role of glucose as a key energy source. It discusses the complexities of mitochondrial function, including the importance of regular nutrient supply, the impact of aging and toxins, and the benefits of training methods like intermittent hypoxic training. The chapter also addresses the challenges of accurately assessing mitochondrial function in clinical settings and the significance of lactate metabolism in understanding overall metabolic health.
