QUOTES
“Lifestyle medicine is mitochondrial medicine. The reason why lifestyle habits like nutrition, sleep, movement, circadian rhythm optimization, even stress support actually work is because they nourish your mitochondria and they optimize your cellular energy.”
“What is one simple lifestyle shift you can make that will help your mitochondria produce more energy tomorrow? Choose one. Commit to it for 7 to 10 days and watch what shifts.”
