06 Mitochondria

Day to day, we hear a lot about the planetary crisis we're facing. Yet we often fail to begin imaging the solution to climate change may be in our own bodies, our cells. Levels of cellular inflammation in our body are at an all-time high, fueling sky-rocketing rates of physical and mental disease globally. This is what we're discussing today with Harvard trained physician Parneet Pal. In this very interesting conversation, Parneet brilliantly outlines how cellular inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction influence our decision making, making us impulsive, stuck in old patterns of thinking and doing, and resorting to short-termism. These decisions - as individuals, consumers, business leaders - shape the systems we build around us, especially those that perpetuate our climate crisis. In this way, Parneet argues that if we solve our wellbeing, we can solve our workplace and ecological challenges. We can use our biology to work for us, not against us, as a powerful lever to intervene and shift our system towards wellbeing for all as we cultivate a regenerative planet.
