- Dave Asprey explains that insufficient ATP production causes fatigue, brain fog, and poor focus.
Protect Mitochondria First
- Reduce mitochondrial damage by prioritizing deep sleep and lowering chronic stress exposure.
- Avoid processed seed oils and refined sugar to limit mitochondrial oxidative damage.
Stimulate New Mitochondria
- Stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis with short high-intensity exercise and intermittent fasting.
- Use mild hormetic stressors like cold plunges or infrared sauna to signal growth of new mitochondria.
