Jatin Chaudhary: Hacking mitochondria to scale new heights

When Jatin Chaudhary set his sights on climbing the world's highest mountain, he knew he had to optimize his body's ability to operate in extreme conditions. The 43-year-old software development manager from India was aware that his chances of scaling Mt. Everest were diminishing every year and that he would benefit from the physical endurance abilities of a younger man. He dived into the data and investigated why Sherpas can perform at superhuman levels at altitude. He concluded that it was their ability to efficiently use oxygen in their mitochondria, while in a hypoxic environment, such as the heights of Everest where there is less oxygen in the air. It led Jatin to learn more about the gut metabolite Urolithin A (UA) and its role in maintaining healthy mitochondria. In this LLAMA podcast interview he explains why he believes supplementation with Mitopure, a proprietary highly pure form of UA, helped fuel his body to scale the highest peak on earth. He also discusses the wider benefits, for an aging population, of maximal mitochondrial health.This episode is produced in association with the Swiss life science company, Amazentis, which is pioneering cutting edge, clinically validated cellular - nutrition, under its Timeline brand.Photos: Courtesy Jatin ChaudharyDISCOUNTS▸ Time-line is offering LLAMA podcast listeners a 5% discount on its Mitopure products - Mitopure Powder, Softgels and Mitopure + Protein.
