Episode Synopsis

Optimize function and enhance overall cellular resilience!  Join bestselling author and natural health expert Ari Whitten, M.S., as he breaks down the key components of your energy source and unlocks the power and resilience of mitochondria!  Mitochondria, the cellular powerhouses, serve an important role in determining how much energy we have each day. They are symbiotic, separate entities that have their own DNA yet play a central role in our metabolism. They also work in conjunction with our system and communicate with the body's DNA, influencing gene expressions and protein production. Just like our muscles, mitochondria require both stress and challenge to function optimally. Hormetic stressors like exercise, thermal stress, fasting, hypoxia, and specific plant compounds stimulate the mitochondria, making them more robust. This process forms the basis of cellular resilience, which impacts how well the body copes with various stressors, including psychological stress, poor nutrition, sleep deprivation, and environmental toxins. Mitochondria are not simply energy producers but are actively involved in influencing gene expression and cellular resilience as well.  Listen now and strengthen your mitochondria for overall health and well-being!  Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/feelfreakingamazing/
