Mitochondria are not cells. A dreadful, dreadful mistake. I suggest that you withdraw the video.
What about prolonged fasting and autophagy. How impactful is it with respect to improving our natural antioxidant mechanisms?😀 Great vid..learned a lot!
I am so glad to stumble across your channel, what a thorough education video it is. I have subscribed and can't wait for your weekly monday sessions. Also very excited to find out about your genetics testing service, but just can't afford it, unfortunately. Thank you!
HOW ABOUT THE TEST "HLA-DQ 6"?
HOW CAN A PERSON FIND A REPUTABLE DOCTOR WHO CAN ASSESS A PERSON WHO MIGHT HAVE AN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE/CELIAC DISEASE?
Can you recommend a dr here in Phoenix, Arizona, please
Incorrect , mis led information . So number 1 … glucose does not turn into fructose . Excessive glucose in the blood drives an insulin response that stores glucose in our tissue cells driving weight gain , once the glycogen stores in our liver are full the excess floats around in our blood as fat lipids called triglycerides . Number 2 Fruit is safe to eat as the fibre content in fruit slows the absorption of the fructose .. it’s only if you juice the fruit it becomes a problem .. do your research before scare mongering .
Good..
HOW CAN I GET TESTED FOR MY MITOCHONDRIAL INTEGRITY? LOVE YOUR U-TUBE CHANNEL.
@www.youtube.com/@GeneticsDecoded Are there any PROXIES for mitochondrial function? For example, maybe some kind of energy demanding physical performance test???
It’s important though to get Raw Spirulina unprocessed so that you can utilize all the benefits of the SOD and glutathione process. Spirulina doesn’t work unless it’s from a reputable source as well. “Raw living“ is the best company I’ve found for the most pure potent spirit in the world. I hope this helps people discover how to regain their health. I’m slowly regaining my mitochondrial health thank you for this podcast very much!🙏💙🧡❤️
Thank you, I don’t understand why you didn’t say which nutrients help promote SOD production and gluten production I know for a fact that algae provides all of this and I was wondering why you didn’t mention it?
Mitochondria are not cells. They are found in each cell.
according to the symbiogenesis hypothesis, mitochondria are the direct descendants of bacteria; so in a way, they are (prokaryotic) cells...
The mitochondria are prokaryotes living inside all eukaryote cells in symbiosis, except the red blood cells. Mitochondria are very similar to the Rickettsia bacterium, has a cell membrane and is reproductive. Mitochondria are much more abundant in your body than your own cells, not just Mitochondria but all microbiomes in your body are primarily procaryotes living in symbiosis, meaning they are dependent on what you feed them. If you don’t feed them, or you kill them all, you die.
I’m 81 and not on any medications. I drive a school bus in the foot of the Ozarks. Just had my yearly blood test and all tests good. Blood pressure 126/80, type 0 positive blood. No wrinkles, 129 pounds BUT I’ve lost 3 inches in height. Was once upon a time 5’5 1/2”. I do have some deterioration in my spine and wear glasses.
Thank you, best way to explain.
This was one of the best talks on mitochondria that I have listened to. It was easy to understand and enjoyable to listen to.
Thank you so much for your positive comments. Glad you found it informative
can you please tell me another podcast you have that will show what you recommend to heal the mitochondria thank you!🙏💙💚💫
👏👏👏👏 Excellent!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like the tempo of your speach and its refreshing to listen without sponser ads. The long format is great for driving. Thanks for the information. ❤
Glad you found it easy to listen to
Great information!
Thanks for listening
Thank you, I needed this.
I am pleased to hear that this information was helpful to you.
I don’t think such tests are even available here in Germany, they do these test only for pregnancy. And even if I do find a lab, how should I know what to request? I won’t do it just to see bdnf. And the next problem, who will look at the results and interpret them? I don’t think it’s available for even middle class people 😢
There are many genetic testing options available in the market, but many are not very clinically relevant or informative. It is good to understand what you want and then make sure you engage with a company that can meet your health goals. At iDNA Health we can report on just for BDNF or more extensively across your health. We can post our kit overseas and do offer online consults. If you want more information this is our website www.idnahealth.com.au/
So what can we do to mitigate oxidative stress on our own. Any lifestyle changes? Thanks
Eat cruciferous vegetables that will deliver the compound sulforaphane. Sulforaphane will upregulate your entire Primary Antioxidant Pathway. Broccoli sprouts have the highest levels of sulforaphane.
There are quite a few doctors and academics out there who argue (convincingly) that its not just vegans and vegetarians who may lack B12, VitD, and Omega-3 fatty acids. The chronically low levels of these substances have given rise to an increase in depression, early on-set dementia, and weakened immune systems in many countries. All these substances are cheap to produce and have no commercial value to big food- and big pharma-companies, hence there is no marketing or awareness to the general public. Government nutrition-guidelines are also hopelessly low on the levels people should ingest, on a daily/weakly basis, and are about 30 years out-of-date with modern scientific research. Its great that you are highlightling these to vegans and vegetarians...but everyone is at risk. Everyone.
Totally agree. We all need to mindful of these deficiencies and the significant impact on our health
The sound level is much too low. Please turn up some . Thanks 😊
More scaremongering over high doses is THE PROBLEM! Traditional Maasai, living in our species evolutionary Tropical African region, maintain ~50ng/ml from conception to death, with pregnant/lactating mothers raising LEVELS even higher! Most of the world suffers insufficient to deficient levels leaving us at risk of endless conditions. It is not “sun” it is specifically the very short “UVB” rays, which black out from longer distances through our atmosphere in Temperate+ winters.
Thanks for the very useful information. Still, it's not clear to me how to mitigate/improve different pathway if, say, I have mutation on some pathways. Also could you please kindly address the relationship between the fat solvable vitamins (especially A, D, and K) in future episode(s)? Thanks agian.
There are very specific interventions for each step and it is just too much to simply list in this reply. In clinic we go through these in detail with our patients, but the interventions are across diet, lifestyle and key supplementation. I will certainly consider doing a future episode about other fat soluble vitamins. Thanks for listening
She doesn't say where to get this test done or labs! what a waste of time.
In US, any lab can test the important inactivated form.
Ulta lab is the cheapest one that I use.
1. Step-Cholesterol Sun! 2. Step- Convertion into 25 - OH-/ Hydroxy Form- its inactive! 3. Step- Activation! Kidneys+ activating enzymes 4. Step- disactivating the excess
What are the activating enzymes?
@@JohnnyRocketone She didnt tell! But its mag, boron and ca. I wish she mentioned any.
Your activating enzymes are the CYP27B1 enzymes, produced by the CYP27B1 gene

Great video and learnt so much!
Thanks Sharon for the in depth information
You are so welcome!
So excited to learn!!!!
Happy to help! We have episodes released every Monday!
Wow very informative I think I have a diary allergy
The great benefit of genetic screening is it answers that question very quickly without any guesswork. Glad you found the information useful
Great Stuff!
Thank you!
So informative. I learned a lot from listening to your podcast. Thank you Sharon.
Thank you for listening!
Nice presentation - thanks. Compound heterozygous here. My health collapsed when I turned 49. 3 years on no one was able to help solve the mystery/mysteries. I took genetic investigation into my own hands. Discovered my MTHFR challenges. Treating myself with what I've learnt from a protocol from Chris Masterjohn PHD, and Ben Lynch (Dirty Genes) via UA-cam. Feeling much better - a bit of a go to way though. All functional medicine, targeted supplements, food choices, exercise/movement - no prescription/big pharma. People are saying "I have MTHFR". We all have "MTHFR" (genes), its whether you have MTHFR variance, it's degree of effect on compromised enzyme production on the methylation pathway, and its level of impact on your health.
Yes, finding out if you have MTHFR variances and getting the right intervention into play can make such a difference. Good luck with the rest of your health journey. There a re lots of very important snps and pathways that can be investigated
PEOPLE...PEOPLE LIKE THIS ARE MAKING A FOOL OUT OF YOU. THEY ARE GETTING SO BRAZEN, THEY DO THIS: HOW CAN YOU BELIEVE IN SOMETHING WITH SUCH ACRONYM, WHICH EVIDENTLY SPELLS MOTHERF%CKER?
Very interesting
