Dr. Gundry Explains Mitochondrial Uncoupling and Its Impact on Weight Loss
Dr. Gundry reveals the concept of mitochondrial uncoupling, a process that makes keto diets successful by generating heat and wasting calories. Ketones are essential for urging mitochondria to protect themselves and work less, promoting weight loss by converting fat into heat. This uncoupling also stimulates mitochondria to produce more of themselves and share the workload, leading to longevity and improved health.
