The Christian Health Club Podcast

When we look at all of this together - the Ember Days, the winter solstice - it adds richness to the season of advent, to our anticipation of the birth of Jesus, to our Creator and how He made the earth, the sun, our food, our bodies and how He gave us eternal light by the birth, death and resurrection of His Son.If we can take a few days - these three days around the traditional Ember Days and the winter solstice to sit in awe of that, to pause and recognize the wonder of life, the Light of our life - it’s more than just changing our food or doing a detox - this is meant to be a full Spirit, Mind, Body practice, discipline, celebration.

All of the parts of your body need energy to do their work. Whether it’s your brain, your heart, your adrenals, your gut, your liver, your eyes, your skin, your kidneys or any other part of your body - the cells must generate enough power so they can function. That’s the job of the mitochondria. Some parts of the body, like the brain and the eyes, have more mitochondria per cell because they are more metabolically demanding. In fact, age-related conditions like Alzheimer's and macular degeneration are related to poor mitochondrial function. The aging process in general is a decline of mitochondrial health. Many medical approaches overlook the fact that the organ can’t work unless the mitochondria work. Instead of supporting mitochondrial function, drugs like statins, antibiotics, acid blockers and metformin are prescribed - which further degrade mitochondrial function. In this week’s podcast we’re talking about ways to supercharge your mitochondria so that all of the parts of your body have the energy to do their job. This is how we slow the aging process and optimize health.
