Mitochondria are the power plants of the cell. We all know this.
But what does that actually mean? What else do mitochondria do? And how do we ensure our mitochondria are optimised for health and efficiency?
Did you know that our mitochondria may actually have once been a separate form of “alphaproteobacteria?” And that through a process of “endosymbiosis” they may have become a part of our very cells?
It’s for this reason that we need to think carefully about how we nourish them and help them to thrive. Largely, that means looking after our own health. It means getting lots of exercise and specifically cardio. It means not eating too much, so as to bombard the mitochondria with sugars. It means looking after your sleep and your mental health.
As usual, I find that the takeaway is to simply look after your health and fitness in a holistic way. A good balance of activities, a healthy lifestyle surrounding your training, and a hybrid approach to training.
Viewing health through the lens of the mitochondria reminds us just how amazing our bodies are and how nuanced health can be. Building lots of big muscle does not necessarily make you healthy!

Bro I have a question. I stay at home most days since I have major passive income. I do these 3 minute bursts of using my standing boxing bag. Total 15 to 20 minutes a day. Doing this 5 to 7 times a day. Is this bad for my heart. Since I am pushing it for short bursts randomly throughout the day? Need help
@@misterpacha1 No ur heart is fine

@@chinballitus7334 oh thank God. I could do more of this but I didn't because I was worried. Also I play a lot of racing games while watching UA-cam. All that adrenelanin kinda does sometimes give me some heart palpitation hence why I was worried more

MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL! Now I'm going to watch the video
I came here for this.
😂
Came here for this comment lol
Sooo, is this am American thing ? I've never heard it called the "powerhouse" over here but it seems to be an inside joke amongst yanks
@@smelly1060we are taught this term for mitochondria at a young age in the US.
I am a Dietician and recently listened to a seminar that was called „mytochondrial health“. My take home message was the „30-20-16-Rule“ to increase autophagy and repair processes of the mytochondria. 30 minutes of exercising (using all energy supply systems of the body - aerobic and anaerobic), 20 minutes of relaxation and 16 hours of fasting. :-)
Is this seminar/talk available on UA-cam??
@@onelifeonebody8090 Dr. Sean Omara
Thanks for the 30-20-16 rule
Fasting and calorie restriction have shown to do the same effect on the body
@@chrisrendon461do you have a source on that? Curious on exploring that
I really appreciate that you never dumb it down for the audience, you just explain ideas well. The rest of UA-cam needs to follow your example.
Agreed
This is like years of research in a 20 minute presentation that basically describes how to make the fat burning cells burn more fat and drastically increase energy output.
I just want to be told to jog, now I have a Phc in Mitochondria.

Dude. Jog.
I was playing this in the background whilst I typed away at my super corporate job when suddenly “…side note, I fucking LOVE squirrels…” My boss from the other side of the office “Me too!” The Matrix has changed.

I am a Tree climber by trade 😊the spurs under my feet helps strengthen the feet! I have never had muscle pains ! I work out 7 Days a week ! I am now 35 feel the same at 19 when I started professional Tree climbers !
35 isnt old. I never felt bad at 35. The Brazilian olympic sprinter female is 37
@@Edgycoo sprinting would be a luxury job ! This wouldn’t be enough daily work to keep the body up ! Need constant compression and tension! In the 30 s for a sprinter your are in your prime !construction work usually cause spine degeneration! Mostly improper alignment! By 25 your lower spine fuses together! Especially a lazy sprinter ! Mine has not fused nor do I plan to allow it ! Keep the sine flexible and stable !
My workout pal was, until he was killed, an arborist, climbing and cutting and hauling trees, until he was 58. He also walked tightropes, snowboarding tricks (flying and flipping), and was as wiry as a squirrel. Tree work is one of the toughest jobs in the world, and incredibly dangerous. I'm 65, and can knock out 20 pullups. Hang. Climb. And when you hear chainsaws going high above ground, marvel at the strength and courage to do that day in and day out. And no less so at 35. Have no doubt that the guy that posted this comment could probably pinch you in half. Salute to the arborists!

What an awesome video! I've been struggling this year with Long Covid and extreme fatigue which seem to be affecting mitochondrial activity, so this video is just perfect 🙏
VACCINATED?
If so there's ur answer
Thanks so much, man! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Really sorry to hear about the Long Covid - hope you’re back to full health in no time!
You sir are a GENIUS the level of dedication you apply through your teaching is sincerely commendable
👊👊
I was thinking of going to the museum of science and industry in Chicago tomorrow. Plans canceled this video totally satisfied my curiosity. absolutely incredible. Thank you.
Haha thank you!
it's 1 am here first time i'm early to one of your videos and just wanna say your work has been a huge inspo to me as an artist especially in terms of anatomy and biomechanics!
oh and MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL 🗣🔥🔥🔥
The powerhouse of the cell.
No 💩🕵♂️
First time hearing this joke.
Definitely helpful on what to do to increase energy! Big take away for me Cardio is definitely necessary for energy and wellbeing
I'm a road cyclist and just dabble in resistance work to stay healthy yada yada. I just stumbled on your channel here and thought this was fantastic information. As a cyclist most of my training time is in HR zone 2 around 118 bpm ish and they say one of the adaptations that comes from that is improved mitochondrial health. Maybe 20 percent of my riding work is actually hard, so that large amount of time doing easy work leaves room for recovery and allows for more total load each week. I average around 10 hours a week for all my training.
Great, interesting video. When you spoke about how mitochondria removes some stuff I automatically thought of leukemia (too many red blood cells causes this type of cancer) so keeping this under control better can help to avoid cancer (well, as much as anything can, it's all about balance).
Your comments on merging and demerging mitochondria reminded me of a book I have called "A Crack in Creation" (one of the authors' surnames is Doudna which always amuses me, Dou DNA!), it's about genetics and how things are changing as people can essentially hack their own bodies (using CRISPR) and the part relevant to your video is 'Mitochondrial Replacement Therapy' as well as some others that mention replacement of cells with healthier ones (using viruses as trojans in the body to replace damaged or unwanted cells with those wanted by the patient).
Thanks for this video, and all of the others, they're very interesting and you explain complicated topics very well. Sub'd 🙂
I recommend reading the Wahl's Protocol. It teaches you how to super charge your mitochondria.
But how do I evolve my Mitochondrion into Midichlorians (the powerhouse of the force)? Great video! 💪
They are actually one and the same. The more your mitochondria count, the more qi (force) you generate.
This is genuinely one of your best videos. So glad im obsessed with seafood, even thought I live in El Paso and so my main source is canned mackerel. I did a ton of cycling from ages 18-26 just out of necessity (no car), including doing 140 miles in 48 hours a couple of times (and plenty of other long rides, plus daily commutes and cycling for hours to accomplish romantic rendezvous in my 20s)
I believe like I have a great cardio base to help me now that im bodybuilding in my 30s, although at the same time I think I need to get back into cycling because I'm still 7-8 years down the road from my peak and I want to go hard again with cardio!
Thanks for teaching me how to become a Jedi. 🔥🔥
Absolutely banging vid!!! Simple, concise, and pretty common sense spattered with science-y terms in a useful way. Just what a health and fitness video should be :):)
Just one set of reasons why I think this is the best health/fitness channel on the whole web :):)
Man you are getting close to the million brother! Andre

Amazing confusing subject explained so very well. I can see why you have a headache. I truly appreciate all your efforts and hard work. God bless
I think you'd find Chris Palmer's book about the role of mitochondria in mental health very interesting. He also did a couple of podcasts but goes into much more details in the book tiled Brain Energy.
As someone who suffers Chronic Fatigue I have been hoping to find a Mitochondria help guide!
Now just need you to put a Nervous System guide up 😂
I got you if you do deep breathing with breathe holds you can influence everything within your body allowing everything to heal and strengthen your nervous system your deeper systems as well I make some vids on it though you could go check out wim hoff he shares more details on this
low intensity steady state cardio. improves mitochondrial function and parasympathetic/sympathetic nervous system balance. 30-60 mins on the full incline treadmill, stair master, or elliptical 2-6x/week focusing on improving performance (speed or distance)
@@JorgeGonzalez-sx7fk That's what worked best for me. Low zone2/high Z1 (so brisk walking or lazy cycling) for as much time every day as I could fit while going whole foods. Strength work, usually bodyweight, impulsively when the mood strikes, and it strikes more and more often.
Whole foods and brisk walking is the closest thing to a panacea there is, for me at least.
@@JorgeGonzalez-sx7fkthanks
@@OneDougUnderPar i’m with you 100%, i especially notice the difference real food makes the older i get
Another fantastic watch. Favorite fitness channel, hands down. Can’t wait to sweat the Mitochondria tomorrow morning!
Thanks for all of this knowledge, I love to geek out on mitochondria and stuff! I learned about fast and slow twitch fibers from your audiobook, which led me to your channel a while ago. Thanks!

The conclusion : Cardio resistance training, the longer you can do it, the more endurance, the more efficient your mitochondrias become.
Interesting. So we can increase nicotinamide -> NAD efficiency through exercise.
As a derm, i only wonder if it would improve skin cell’s efficiency or just muscle cells.
@maalikserebryakov I would imagine so. Typically healthier people have healthier skin.
@@maalikserebryakovwell this could just be correlation but I've noticed that when I do cardio consistently my dry skin isn't as bad. It disappears on my feet and my scalp is more manageable.
Good presentation. I happen to appreciate "Phsyoic's" work also.
Thank you Adam! I’ve heard a lot about mitochondria but didn’t actually know what they are. Although I may need to listen to this video a couple more times for the info to really sink in (lol, I suspect some mitochondrial dysfunction), I found it super interesting and helpful. Also, although you may be fucked when it comes to sleep, it seems like you’re winning at fostering meaningful relationships and living a values based life 😊❤️🙏
Hello to The Bioneer, This was a superb coverage of the function of the Mitochondria, and of the importance of a balance in training and diet. There a lot of things here that wish I had known, many decades ago when I first took an interest in Physical Culture… Many Thanks … 👍 Jon
Informative as always.
Great video! Very informative. I also would´ve enjoyed a lot to run where you´re running in the video. Prefect place to work out!
I don't know why this information fascinates me but it makes this explanation awesome 👍 worth watching more than once
Great info. Though I would hope to have a way to get to the “how” (to train mitochondria) and then listen to the why later.
"I fucking love squirrels." is defiantly not what I expected lol. I had to stop the video to finish laughing before I could re-focus on what you were saying. Thank you for ALL of this! "Train damnit!"
You should check out "Iron Cardio", by Brett Jones. He's the director of education at Strongfirst, and both himself and Pavel seem to be going through a mitochondrial phase. From what I know, Pavel's book on the topic is Quick and the Dead - in trademark Pavel style - but I prefer Iron Cardio, personally.
Strong Endurance is the seminar that Strongfirst offers explaining all the different forms of this training. I took the original seminar (in 2016, I believe ) and found it fascinating.
Brilliant.
Thanks, mate !

Thank you! I spent a lot of time on them 😁
Excellent coverage of this important topic. As we age, this topic becomes accordingly more relevant if we want to stay healthy.
Long covid has absolutely destroyed my mitochondrial function, I hope I'll get better with exercise and infraredlight as well as healthy food.
You really do “get it” mate, the only UA-camr I’ve seen who shares my philosophies on training, life and health in general. Kudos to you.
Not worried about suppercharging anything. Just want to make sure they are functioning properly, and working to their full potential.
Great episode,lots of helpfull information.Dziekuje
Love watching the videos as a ex Bicester resident, reminds me of home! Oh and the content is great also.
Parasite Eeeeeeve, mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell! The game that helped me pass a few biology class tests!
That's a GREAT game ❤
As a dad of 2 with a shift pattern job that includes nights and a wife with stress exacerbated additional needs, "I'm fucked" took me out completely.
As always the content was fascinating, the approach to holistic physical development meaningful and instructive and to me is the detailed view of "do everything, humans aren't insects, duh" which I appreciate.
Excellent video
❤❤
Your videos are all really well done, its quite amazing.
"I fucking love squirrels" was the best part of this video,
but overall such a knowledge packed video, i think im gonna have to watch this twice to fully understand this

Hey man, thanks for the video!
this one got really technically dense for a while there, if I may give you a suggestion, it's easier to keep up with whats being said if you could make some simple presentation of the ongoing processes you're describing, but I know that can be quite a handful. Anyone, great job!!
incredible content, as always! Thank you
Thank you for the video. As a layman, I felt that it was far too much science and not enough practical tips for implementation.
one of your best videos. thank you
I'm really pushing up on my phys so this stuff is really helpful to me. I'm also a fan of a good pint. Can I ask for a video that gives a pointer to people like me. I'm aware of the basics but sometimes we need poke to do what we need to do.
The latest I’ve read is it’s best to go hard for 10 seconds then let the mitochondria reset and get oxygen. Many olympians train this way now. For max strength. Efficiency,
Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
Great video. Great info. Great channel
You're bag work skills have improved
I would like to know how effective HIIT training is for boosting mitochondria
Dude! I love this channel, You are Awesome
when will you do more videos for cognitive performance enhancement and the brain??
great video non the less!
Soon! But this kind of is… a little bit!
@@TheBioneer thanks for answering, your awesome!!
Good video and graphics
Thank you! I worked hard on the graphics! 😁
You asked if there was something you missed, and I must say that I was surprised that a video with this title didn’t mention a word about infra-red light, sunlight or photobiomodulation. If you want to promote mitochondrial function and health, you can’t overlook this extremely important topic. It will be news for some, but it’s as old as the mitochondria themselves. I highly suggest watching this talk on youtube, ”Glen Jeffrey explains: the Science behind Mitochondrial Infra-Red (MIR)”. It is an excellent introduction to the importance of light for health and performance and how red, near infra-red and blue light affects our mitochondria.
Thanks for the recommendation ❤
How do I reduce the damage of cumulative mutations in my mitochondrial DNA?
I always imagined it was like how in the military they needed to expend all their ammunition or the supply base would send them less next time. Because the body is always producing energy, you shouldn't be concerned with saving it but instead prompting your body to send more
so what exactly should we do
Mitochondria hormesis, to increase.. needs right amout of stress: training, cold shower, sauna. Also no overeating, good sleep.
Well done. Thank you. Personally I would prefer no music in the background. Rather distracting. Cheers
Great! Now I've managed to use the force!!
The mitochondria is the energy house of the cell
Great content as always for yhe welk rounded athlete
Whole video in 2 sentences: lift weights and do cardio it's good for you. Also don't overdo it.
I mean, yeah there is some value in all that Science deep understanding approach, but more often then not they just confirming stuff that people knew for literally hundreds of years. It is good to know some mechanics behind certain body adaptation processes, but exactly as it is the case with overtraining, overthinking about them is just confusing. Personally I think that Hubermans videos suffer from that.
Anyway, good stuff, another reason to keep lifting keep doing endurance training and versatile the approach to training in general.
I have a question I've been pondering, is there any evidence to suggest that the body burns more fat around the muscles being used during easy exercise, rather than burning it evenly across the body?
thanks for your great content
Generally fat comes off in a genetically predetermined order. Some people lose more on their stomach first, others lose it in their arms. Of course, it’s not that precise and you lose it everywhere.
There’s no real evidence to suggest you can “target” fat loss. Though, I believe there is a caveat there - I remember reading something to the contrary once. But that was probably very specific - ultimately just focus on calories to get where you need to be :-)
@@TheBioneer thank you for the reply
so, basicly train all kinds of functions to train all energy systems?
Awesome presentation 👍🏾👑
Absolutely incredible
Time to supercharge our powerhouse!
Fast and slow are antagonistic. You cant train one without negatively affective the other. This is why a lot of boxers slow down if they weight train. Efficiency isnt power generation. Its power conservation relative to work required. Training to be the hulk will negatively impact all aspects of performance at the cost of longevity which is expressed in injury. You might look good. But last time i checked body builders still live the shortest
I have a lot of content about this on my channel. Building muscle often leads to slower movement but the two are not antithetical. The issue is with the approach.
Please show us how to super charge Midichlorians?
5:28 - 5:36 Wouldn’t that also mean it adapts to stressors more quickly as well?
Would you run with barefoot shoes on tarmac/concrete? Wouldn’t it ruin your knees?
I do all the time! It does not - but you definitely need to ease into it!
@@TheBioneer that’s interesting to hear, why don’t you choose to run in cushioned running shoes on the road for extra protection etc? Which barefoot shoes do you run in? Thanks
When done correctly barefoot running actually protects the knees. It forces you to use a forefoot strike which, in turn, means your leg is further below your centre of gravity and can compress like a spring. The greater proprioception (ability to feel the ground) and ankle strengthening over time also greatly reduce the risk of things like tipped ankles - I don’t remember the last time I twisted my ankle even when falling off a curb!
Again: you need to progress very slowly. Most people aren’t used to running this way, so it’s certainly not a good idea to go all out on day one! I speak from experience there 😅
I use Vivobarefoot! In the interest of full disclosure - they regularly sponsor my channel. But I used them long before that (I’ve worn exclusively barefoot for years at this point) and other makes work well too! Vivo are just my favourite in terms of quality/style :-)
Hope that helps!
Maybe I can develop some Type 2B fibers if I eat a lot of acorns. It works for squirrels.
