Mitochondria and Health with Dr. Chris Meletis

Mitochondria lie at the center of life. At conception, we inherit our mother's mitochondrial DNA and our electricity for life is turned on. The mitochondrial journey is much like our life's journey. In fact, as we age the mitochondrial volume and output may start to decline and we then start to experience the effects of aging. In this episode, Dr. Chris Meletis, author of the book, MitoLongevity,speaks with us deeply about the role of mitochondria in health. We discuss the mitochondrial role in the immune system, inflammation, hormonal health, and mental health. We discuss evaluation for mitochondrial decline, nutrition and lifestyle factors, and so much more. enjoy... Show outline 1. Philosophy about Mitochondria 2.
