INSIGHT

Energy Shortage, Not Age, Drives Decline

  • The brain and muscles decline because cells run low on ATP, not just chronological aging.
  • Restoring cellular energy protects both cognitive function and muscle mass.
INSIGHT

Lifestyle Damages Mitochondria Over Time

  • Stress, poor sleep, toxins, and lifestyle damage mitochondria and reduce ATP production over time.
  • Repairing mitochondria and restoring ATP lets cells recover, build new mitochondria, and improve function.
ANECDOTE

  • Dave Asprey recounts weighing 300 pounds and lacking cellular energy to recover from exercise.
  • He links that experience to how low ATP made his brain feel tired and unable to heal.
