Episode notes
INSIGHT

Mitochondrial Genome Importance

  • Focus on the mitochondrial genome, not just the nuclear genome, for optimal health.
  • Mitochondrial DNA mutations, often overlooked, impact energy production and overall health.
INSIGHT

Bioenergetic Disease Model

  • Doug Wallace's mitochondrial bioenergetic model reframes disease as a holistic issue.
  • It emphasizes mitochondrial function rather than siloed organ-specific problems.
INSIGHT

Mitochondrial Colonies and Disease

  • Weakest mitochondrial colonies dictate where diseases manifest.
  • Optimize mitophagy to selectively remove damaged mitochondria and boost healthy ones.
