Flying solo today Dr Rayner, D.C, explores everything from the basics of mitochondria to how these critical structures play a vital role in human health and wellness. From aging, recovery, energy, metabolism to your risk for disease....Your mitochondria are critical to all these areas of health.
These kidney bean shaped structures are found pretty much in every cell of the human body and help us take the calories we eat and convert to ATP energy, the fuel sources for all our bodies biochemical and physiological reactions.
The goal of this episode is to empower you to understand there are lots of ways to clean up your health and function and how to start biohacking one of the biggest factors in the aging process, your mitochondrial health.
We all get our mitochondrial DNA from our Mothers and we can look at this as this cool way we stand connected through the various generations.
Through this episode you will learn the following: The basics ;the basic requirements; what is damaging to the health of your mitochondria; symptoms of decreased mitochondrial function; laboratory and diagnostic testing to assess function and your aging process; nutrients/minerals critical to support the normal activity "cofactors"; additional nutritional and antioxidant support to support to address mitochondrial stress and function; to current lab tests that may show you are have work to do; to implementing daily activities that help biohack your aging...aka genetics versus epigenetics.
If listeners leave with 2-3 tips or actions steps from this podcast and start to find ways to implement and support their function and overall health then this mission was a success. Functional medicine and integrative medicine has so much to offer for those looking to create the best internal and external environment to biohack their aging and overall health!
