Tips from Dr Picard: 1. Move! Exercise encourages your body to produce new mitochondria (up to 2x) 2. Don’t eat too much, it’s ok to be hungry - intermittent fasting is great for your mitochondria 3. A new idea being proposed is possibly your mental state can change your mitochondria (ie., do what you can to lead a life that makes you happy!)
If Person have adrenal fatigue, exercice can be dangerous, walk is great, and also fasting can be dangerous with People who have unstable blood sugar..so we should be careful of giving general advice ;)
Some of us wear our "nerd" label with great pride. I have noticed that those flinging that term around seem to think that being ignorant is somehow cool (hip). It ain't.
honestly, intellectuals do a lot of damage to the world. those who make actual contributions are in the minority. i've spent a lot of time around intellectuals and they tend to be very degenerate people.
Not necessarily eat less. Don't over-eat. Also, not mentioned here, mitochondria respond and multiple in brown adipose tissue when you submerge in those cold tanks like Joe Rogan has discussed.
He's so right that medicine has to move to understanding and fixing problems per the individual rather than "batch" solutions. This is ongoing and gathering steam.
Finally a person who can discuss mitochondria without finding themselves saying 'mitochondria .... make energy' and appropriately describes them as transforming energy.
0:04: 🧬 Dr. Martin Picard discusses the importance of mitochondria in metabolic and mental health. 4:07: 🧠 Mitochondria are like the brain of the cell, involved in transforming energy and processing information. 9:35: 💡 Mitochondria transform energy from food and oxygen into different forms of energy, such as ATP, which powers human function and consciousness. 14:39: 💡 Metabolic dysfunction, including insulin resistance, can impact mitochondria and energy flow in the body. 19:53: 🔬 The video discusses acquired mitochondrial disorders and how they can be influenced by psychological states, chronic stress, early life adversity, diet, and exposure to insecticides and pesticides. 25:12: 💡 Communication between the brain and body is energetically demanding, and mitochondrial biology plays a crucial role in this energetic connection. 30:20: 🧠 Psychiatry should focus on short-term acute episodes of psychosis and explore alternative methods to target mitochondrial health for long-term treatment. 35:50: 🏃♂ Physical activity stimulates the production of more mitochondria, which can improve energy levels and overall health. 40:35: 🔑 Individualized medicine, moderation in eating, and positive psychological states can promote mitochondrial health. 45:15: 🧠 Feeling positive and having positive experiences can improve mitochondrial biology in immune cells and potentially in brain cells. 50:39: 🧠 The speaker believes that the current framework for understanding mental health is overhyped and disempowering, and suggests an alternative framework that respects individual differences. Recap by Tammy AI
I think there are 2 main things that hurt mitochondtia: -burning glucose most or all of the time. This happens whenever you consume glucose, you know, carbs. Your body has to process consumed carbs before it can use fat. -Eating and processing food constantly. Eat 1 or 2 low carb meals. Not 6 meals. Be a fat burner producing ketones. Practice time restricted eating and extended fasting to induce autophagy to repair and rebuild mitochondria.
PhD biochemist emergency physician here. Read about alpha lipoic acid and acetyl N carnitine as a combination. In vitro the combination are the mitochondria's best friend s. Just need some good studies in people!
On #2: Eat as long as you are hungry. Stop eating when not hungry. If you think you are overeating, it's probably because you are eating the wrong food.
One thing I did not hear in this video was the role of sunshine. I have been hearing a lot about the role of infrared light in melatonin production and melatonin is an antioxidant in the mitochondria.
I have been meditating for many, many decades, and have used visualization as well as breathing techniques in conjunction with adequate exercise, nutrition and healthy sleeping habits. I discovered visualization of healthy, long mitochondria is very essential to staying healthy and fit (I am 52). Concentrating on the digestive system, and the brain are essential if you want to increase your physical and mental health as well as draw positivity into your life. The key to spiritual, mental and physical well-being is recognizing and visualizing the same science that we obtain in the form of products and healthy regimens, and it shouldn't be left out. Visualization is the the missing puzzle piece to our completeness.
@@akoaykilalamo Well, to visualize you need to look first at a structural form in your mind. For instance, breathing techniques start with thinking of your lungs as a paper bag, which you fill from the bottom up, then empty from the top down. If you can find a good book on chakra cleansing, for instance, visualization of the chakras are at the heart of the procedure, as you imagine each chakra as an orb of a certain color, rotating in a certain direction. You can apply the same technique to any scientific information that you can give structural form in your mind to, in any way that suits your intuition. Open your mind to interpretation and the true meaning and definition of life will in turn open to you.
Methylene blue.. started for mother with alzheimers...lots of improvements...it's helped with mitochondria health, regulated neurotransmitters so is excellent...discontinued psychotic drugs..her speech started coming back..excellent awareness...accepting lots of new healthy foods...also discontinued sleeping pill..sleeps 8 to 9 hours on her own
Also try 1/2 tsp mct oil ,,u help feed brain I went up to tap,,it helps glass brown bottle so it's not rancid use good company it's worth extra cost as u don't use loads
That's terrific to see improvements. Check out Dr. Dale Bredesen interviews on preventing & reversing & slowing Alzheimer's & other dementias. He was a resear h neurologist for 20+ yrs, looking for the silver bullet that would reverse/slow/prevent Alzheimer's but they kept coming up empty as had every other researcher/pharma. Finally it dawned on him that dementia is caused by multiple factors interplayed, like angina/heart attacks - so needs multiple simultaneous lifestyle, vitamin, medication changes. Get more improvements the more changes you make (some easy and free like decent sleep, drop processed foods for more whole foods and minimally processed or homemade foods, time your meals differently with a 9+3 fast overnight, regular exercise, stress relief and some, if needed for a particular person, more complicated and expensive, eg removing mold from house or moving out of mold-inhabited house.) He's wriitten 3 or 4 books by now - highly recommend but would start with an interview or two of him available on you tube.
Interesting! My energy levels are often not too good, since my diet is not ideal and I do not take enough physical exercise. However, I have seen in my life many, many times that when I am suddenly able to fulfill my calling, I immediately feel energized and I forget about the tiredness.
If eating ketogenic it's possible you're lacking salt. Sodium, potassium and magnesium. Even after years keto I supplement ALL 3! I put redmonds real.salt and no salt for.potassium in every beverage i take (more in water), and take magnesium supplement at bed. I take 5-7g od sodium, 5-7g potassium and 200mg magnesium biglycinate. I'm telling you as people supplement but often don't realize how little they take. I'd start with 3 to4g minimum and work up from there. Take magnesium baths or foot soaks too. Many people also don't eat enough protein. The absolute minimum is 1.2g/kg body weight and aim up to 2.0g/kg if obese or over age of 50. This should be fatty meat on the bone with skin. Eat organs if you can intermittently. Eat varied sources and add seafood and fish. Leaner items like fish may require adding more fat to the meal. If losing weight vs maintaining requires a heavier fat approach to maintain and can be a lot. If you eat the fat coming on meat it makes it easier. Fry your meals in tallow, lard and butter. Eat eggs. Avoid all keto products and heavy use of nuts, dairy and sweeteners. Keep it super clean but pound the salts. I went from 8 weeks of keto flu to changing my brain fog and energy levels as I figured out the salt levels I required.😊
Very honest information regarding how meds impact mitochondria but we dont know how they actually work and long term effects. I would love to know how say a 3 day fast every so often affects our mitochondria. Surely pharma meds longterm is a recipe for disease. I like his theory on rebound unless we change we will keep getting what we get. For me its sleeping well. Being active especially outdoors parks and forests and beach walks Sunshine and swimming or relaxing in water. I like the not eating too much. Great information look after the mitochondria if you want to stay well.
Really really interesting. I work as a diabetic eye screener, and I'm getting more and more interested in human biology. Both for my own benefit and the patients.
Molecular medicine is the forefront of all medicine today. Mitochondria are at the heart of this approach. Understanding the complex, synergistic actions and functions of the body is the key to optimum physical health. It is exciting to be part of this as I treat my own multiple myeloma without traditional radiation and chemotherapy. While doing the things that are suggested here I find that my mind is much stronger as well.
Glad you are trying to treat yourself without chemical ( mitochondrial ) poisoning . However , the molecular medicine approach really has not much to do with the mitochondria . It is focussed on genes and proteins . Molecular medicine is a good approach is you want to DAMAGE your mitochondria .
Cancer begins when the mitochondria of a cell become so damaged they can't carry out oxidative phosphorylation, but instead of dying the cell manages to switch to the fermentation of glucose in the cytoplasm.
Really interesting when talking about positive thought and mitochondrial health. I have stage 2 Emphysema and though I lack lung capacity, perhaps 60%, the combination of staying healthy and my state of mind helps my well-being. 1. I move every day, most days extend my capacity. 2. Eat healthy and miss meals. 3. Stay positive and active with creative pursuits. I'm 65, 75Kilo and fit
Excellent discussion on a topic very much a keen interest of mine for many years, though I am no longer in an academic environment myself. One point not addressed per se, despite some really great questions and answers by you two gentlemen, is that of the potential beneficial role of supplementation supportive of mito health, function, and biogenesis. In particular, PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone) holds outstanding beneficial potential, not alone of course but in conjunction with good nutrition, regular exercise, and yes, intermittent fasting as touched upon here. NMN (Nicotinamide MonoNucleotide) and/or NR (Nicotinamide Riboside, my preferred form) also seem to function synergistically with PQQ in this regard as well, fostering the NAD+/ATP cycle within mitochondria, again as adjuncts to the above lifestyle components. At just shy of 72, my own health & fitness, physically, physiologically, neurologically, cognitively, mentally/emotionally, interpersonally, etc has never been better, and I consider mito health central to the overall equation. Thanks for a terrific segment guys :)
Great conversation! I love the energy and excitement regarding mitochondria and getting a better understanding of them and our health. The icing on the cake for me was the use of the word- Empowering at the end. I have been saying for some time now- we are experiencing the end of the Disempowerment paradigm and it’s time to usher in the new Empowerment paradigm. Thank you!
Meditation suggests simply observation of breadths and/or sensations all around and over the body. The benefits are profound, slow to appear and lasts on consistent practice. Considerable time would be involved, so it's important to do it the right way and learn from the right school. I tried visualization to no benefit. Now practice Vipassana; transformed my life.
I am going to follow up on a brief comment made by someone else, because I think it is so important. No mention of the effect of light on mitochondria. That is a great shame because light’s effect on mitochondria is very important. Circadian rhythm. Cytochrome C-Oxidase ANd the very important discovery that infra red light produces melatonin IN the Mitochondria. And melatonin is one of the most important endogenous anti-oxidants provided exactly where most ROS are generated.
He forgot to mention, avoid aluminum, and fluoride. Why ? fluoride increases the absorption of aluminum by our acidic stomach And aluminum jams up the midocondrea process… Dr Chris exley explains how aluminum is root cause of Alzheimer’s, autism , Parkinson’s , MS…
Everybody knows they have to do these things, and yet these two pencil-necks thought people should waste an hour of their time listening to common sense drivel.
Dr. Sarah Myhill and 2 other doctors came up with a blood test that measures ATP. I believe it is within the first five chapters of her book: The Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalomyolitis. It's an excellent book. I have had MECFS since March of 2017. Her book has helped me to improve to about 70 to 80 percent. Thank you for this discussion. It is very necessary for us who have MECFS. Also, Ron Davis from Stanford University has come up with another blood test for MECFS back in 2019. Thanks and God Bless for what you are doing!!!! Miss Monique 🙂🙏🌷
@@alicequayle4625 What has helped me the most is understanding the condition of MECFS and the methylation system. Supplements that help the methylation system are: B12 plus Co-Q-10, D3 at the same time every morning. Also, I wash that down with a drink known as Emergen-C. After breakfast I then take another supplement which is a combination of Acetyl- L- Carnitine and Alpha Lipoic Acid. All these supplements can be bought at Walmart. Since I can't swallow pills , the first three mentioned are gummies. I was taking D-Ribose for a time. That helps a lot, but it is very expensive at my vitamin store . Another book by Dr. Teitelbaum is entitled From Fatigued to Fantastic. The acronym for his system is SHINE: s stands for sleep , h stands for hormones, I stands for....I don't remember, n stands for nutrition and e stands for exercise as able. Both these books in combination should be the textbooks for all the doctor and the patients who have MECFS. Another book that I find helpful is my Bible. I get great encouragement from the Scriptures. God is our Creator and God is our Healer. Hope this helps. Spend the money on both books it's worth it. There is no ,"cure" for MECFS....we all need to work on ourselves and do what is best for ourselves. God Bless you and your family 💖🙏🌷💗🙂🙏 Miss Monique
@moniquelemaire5333 Wow, thanks for info! I'm way behind on the research, with no time or energy to read, but I'll look the names up to see if they have videos, I can listen while doing chores. May God bless you as well! 🩷🙏🙂
Thank you! My health took a dive after a high dose statin therapy. From what information I could glean, and there is not much, my mitochondria were negatively impacted system wide. Nine months later, I am beginning to feel some recovery.
Function of mitochondria and need for customised medication or preventive care; well explained. How mental exhaustion kill more than physical understood well Drs. Thanks a lot. 👍 Alredy talks are going on that there will be customised medicine formula; which as of now is limited to movies.
I just would like to say that. Listening to guys like you makes me motivated and inspires me. Mainstream is just not deep enough for me. Hail to the UA-cam platform gods LOL 😁😄✊️
I eat one meal a day and keep satiated until the next day. I’m a ketovore eater. Has healed my body in many many ways. I wish more ppl cared about what they consume.😊
Great information! Thank you. Trying to improve ecosystem of my mitochondria by practicing fasting, exercise, and diet OMAD making my microbiom happy. I feel big improvement in functioning/strength of my body over last couple of years. Info in this podcast is golden. THANK YOU! Happy New Year 2024!
What a superb interview and acquirement of excellent knowledge at first hand! Thanks to both of you and especially to this unpretentious scientist named Dr Picard.
Thanks so much. Can you invite an expert on to talk about exercise intolerance and post exercise malaise, please? I hear all the time exercise is the best way to increase mitochondria, but so many people crash after exercise.
I know that teaching conditions are incredibly challenging and that they don’t receive nearly enough resources and pay for what they do, however the issues with children discipline go both ways, imho. Adults need to learn how to talk to children just as much as children need to learn to speak to adults. As a psych RN that dealt with acute mental illness patients our communication skills are key to deescalation to the vast majority of potentially combative situations. These same skills need to be taught to teachers and used in classrooms. I saw a lot of these clear communication challenges between teachers & kids when my daughter was in school. Yes, this places more accountability in teachers but they’re the adults and these skills will go a long way in assisting teachers which will ultimately help kids and their parents.
I’m an Ironman athlete, and a relatively low carb person. No junk carbs. I listened to podcast #53 of Inside Exercise, where Dr. Paul Coen or (Cohen) discussed his latest research that showed Metformin having a negative relationship with aerobic / mitochondrial promotion in some people.
I realized Mitochondria and their creb cycle are the key to our cellular lives. This is a basic function responsible for our human, plant, and animal life,
Amazing information. Welcome to the 21st Century. This sounds like understanding the influence of our medications on our Mitochondria might help us to solve the root causes of our diseases.
So grateful for the research presented here! As others do, I too research to improve health w/o extending dependence on phamaceuticals. Any new researchers with potentially actionable steps like those shown here are treasures to those who have psychotic symptoms. While a researcher and not a physician, the knowledge that research has gained is hope for diseases cruel and often hellish. Thank you. Please keep up the good fight!
Absolutely incredibly fascinating. I wish I was a teenager so I could study this field at university. Energetic changes in the body? I used to wake up in the morning very tired, then I started taking Magnesium L-threonate, Magnesium Bisglycinate and Magnesium Taurate and now I have a lot more energy when I wake up and all day...I wonder if my mitochondria are happier because I am. I used to want to turn over and go back to sleep...
Well, that’s good news! I wake up feeling guilty and stressed that I have paid for exercises classes that I didn’t attend but very happy and content snuggling in my nice warm bed. I’m active though, I love my job and pottering around the house doing stuff. I also do intermittent fasting because it’s fun for me. I must be one of those low responders…
I'm totally on board with his findings and recommendations. I liked his discussion about medications and their effect on mitochondria although he steered clear of the covid vaccine.
Not eating too much - particularly sugar, because mitochondria produce energy by aerobic respiration (another reason exercise helps biogeneis and maintain mitochondria health) but cancer uses sugar fermentation for energy through anaerobic respiration, even when in the presence of oxygen. Sugar is fine when used for energy, preferably complex carbs (sugar), but too much causes many problems beyond the scope here. Allowing a fasting state has many benefits, including triggering autophagy and mitophagy, which recycles damaged and bad mitochondria to make new ones that are healthy, before disease sets in.
This is such a great podcast, thank you for taking the time to create this. Yes, health is very dynamic and with personal growth and taking more responsibility for what we consume from thoughts, relationship dynamics to emotions and life experiences we can create amazing health.
What’s interesting the discussion on acquired impacts…..and the one you don’t mention is the physiology of oxygen delivery and to me the #1 healthy habit everyone can shift right now (day and night). The impact of voluntary and involuntary breathing influences ALL these things shared. Clinically I see this a lot as it relates to progression of disease and reversal to promoting health. Wanna chat about this in detail many don’t realize (most just talk about rate, and yet there is soooo much more than BPM)

A very interesting and informative interview - we can shortcut that to a 3i vid ;-) I 'see and hear' layers of potential support or damage - environmental as in toxins in the world we live in, food/diet, psychological stresses. It would be interesting to see differences in the health of the mito in Tibetan monks vs 'Bob Smith living in central Manhattan and working in the Investment Banking industry' and also appreciating whether divesting bad layers allows the mito to heal / get back into optimal function.
Thank you so very much for this informative video! Our loving Creator has gifted us/created us in such an unbelievably astounding way! Love, gratitude and loyalty towards our loving Creator, our Lord and Saviour Christ brings great benefits to our overall health and our overall happiness!!!
I really value my college physiology😊. And am thankful that there are no genetic issues in my kids and grandkids. We are all on organic foods, exercise, and avoid chemicals whenever possible. I would love to know how giving kids 90 vaccines is good for their mitochondria.
In regard to the experiments Dr. Picard mentioned in which mitochondrial networks within cultured cells became fragmented following an excessive supply of energy, it would be interesting to see this experiment repeated with variations in the type of energy source supplied (e.g., pure fat vs. pure carbs vs. fat and carbs in varying proportions) and with variations in the starting conditions of the cells (e.g., fat-adapted vs. not fat-adapted).
The. MIND is NOT in the body The brain is not the mind. All energy comes from your thoughts (the mind) Take care what you think about. Talk to your body.... Your cells are listening.
From memory the brain is 2% of Body weight, but uses 20% of the entire bodies Oxygen needs, ten times more than any other organ or tissue. At 62 I use a number of supplements and "Zone 2" exercise (I think) a combination of intense interval training along with Heavy weights 2-3 times per week, 1-2 long bike rides, 1-boxing session for coordination, 2-outdoor circuit sessions, with a group of middle aged men. After a major head injury 5.5 yrs ago, improving brain function-hopefully repairing the brain became a focus of mine. I've had significant improvement 95-99% better with improvement in energy...
Hey, I carry with me a life long theory that my energy (must be the mitochondria) got wrecked after a childhood hepatitis A. I was before that disease a child not afraid of some risk taking but after it, I became a coward in gym, started to read a lot, like I had been doing during my isolation in a separate room. I also find less joy in alcohol then most men, since I get very fast tired from it. Having not much energy is a burden in many ways in life. I never knew who would take this seriously. Normally the liver recovers and that's it, they say.
Nothing at all and I am also rather healthy. Why are there (few) strong people with abundant energy? Is it their hormones? Their mitochondria? Used to hard work even as child? Their belief in themselves? And are lazy people or animals lacking in "character" or do they just lack the energy?? Etc...@@Truerealism747
This is really great! Now please, please list for me how to keep these other organelles healthy, I am so worried I have no idea how to deal with them: my ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes and I am particularly worried that I am not taking care of my endoplasmic reticulum.
Capture your 10-year-olds’ attention by telling them about the resident aliens with their own DNA they received from their mothers and is the reason we could trace our ancestor to the first mother. I learned that mitochondria have their own DNA long after I learned about mitochondria and it’s still one of the most exciting thing I ever learned.
@brutalgeneric: thank you for your comment. That is actually helpful. I can easily obtain indirect sunlight. I live in the sunny southwest. I slather sunscreen on whenever I step outside. Perhaps in late afternoon going out without without the sunscreen for a walk would be an ideal way to get indirect sunlight. Very helpful tip.
Wrong, this video clearly is lacking. He fails to mention the benefits of red light and near infrared light therapy (650 and 850nm) on mitochondrial rejuvenation. Nor does he mention methylene blue supplementation which is a salt that when consumed as an OTC pharmacy supplement, improves mitochondrial function, also.
I am glad to hear these confirmations of 3 major potential lifestyle measures to support mitochondria. Thank you so much! How can we assess our mitochondrial health with testing?
I am not an expert, so take this with a huge grain of salt, but it seems to me that anything that measures energy efficiency, commonly known as fitness, would work. There are two common ways to do this. VO2 max is one but it requires a treadmill and sophisticated equipment, though it is more accurate. The other is heart rate recovery rate. Exercise until you are at your max heart rate [1] and record that heart rate. Then rest and record your heart rate 1 minute later. The difference between those two numbers is a measure of your energetic health. The higher the difference, the faster your body recovers, the more fit you are, and the healthier your mitochondria are. This is easy to do without anything other than a stopwatch, though less accurate, really only an approximation. You can sprint, do burpees, run on the spot, etc. (web search HIIT for alternatives), to get up to your max heart rate. A longer version is to measure how long it takes to get from your max heart rate to your resting heart rate, but the essence is captured in the simpler version and it doesn't take as long. It can take many minutes to reach resting heart rate, as the decrements decrease with time. 1. Be careful with this, if you are in very poor shape and overdo the exercise intensity, you can actually give yourself a heart attack. Start slowly. Maybe walk for 20 minutes (10?, 5?, 1?), measure your heart rate, and then rest for a minute and measure it again. As you get fitter, increase the intensity of the exercise to raise your heart rate slightly each time. From what I've read, dropping 25 bpm in the first minute is reasonable fitness for the average person, though elite athletes will be much higher, maybe three or four times that. For example, an elite athlete might have a max heart rate nearing 200 bpm, and drop as much as 100 bpm in the first minute. Depending on your age, this might be an impossible target, as max heart rate drops with age, even for elite athletes. You can find approximations of max heart rate online, for a given age (a simple, rough formula is 220 - your age).
I found out about my mitochondrial issues through taking the full body intelligence test at Viome. They send supplements for helping in many areas after the results are given as well as dietary advice.
This is edging me toward lifestyle interventions as a prostate cancer management plan rather than taking aboard the arduous alternative. I'd subject myself to a clinical trial to test this approach.
What was left out and not talked about , for the health of our mitochondria , is seed oils and how toxic they are for us and our mitochondria , they damage and kill our mitochondria, i hope in the future doctor picard will speak more about this .
@@lynlawley8903 because too many people have terrible diets that lead to heart attacks from clogged arteries and aren't willing or able to change diet and lifestyle. So the option left is statins. It's unfortunate when there are other ways but v hard to.force ppl to change.
Would be cool to have a video on specific food that affects the mitochondria. Like refined sugars, oils, gluten, etc. Curious how much those impact it.
That is another way to help you're self ,,is using a new glucose monitor away to help with cancer as😂 zoe said each person is affected differently by food , as we are all individuals,,
@@martywilliard oh yeah! already have! i am just curious about the mechanism on a cellular level. would be cool to hear the specifics about how it sabotages the cell. just biology nerd stuff :)
I've been doing low carb on and off for a long time, with great results. Now as i hear keto really could improve mental health, i'm working towards getting into sufficient ketosis. I've got adhd and i wonder how helpful ketosis might be. I'll let you know about the results.
Hi, I'm 4 years keto now, with a 48 hour fast every week. At 76 i weight train 4 X week, cardio 2 x. Have unlimited stamina and exact weight control as long as I stay off carbs and fructose. Took about 2 years to break carb addiction and eating in general. I can exist on one meal, or two or none provided I am eating protein, fats and some green or surface growing veg. Discovering psyllium husks as a preffered fibre source instead of fruit keeps my gut in top order.good luck.
I appreciate Dr. Picard's caution and concern with the use of medications not clearly understood by those prescribing them. It could be that they are only trying to treat the symptoms rather than focusing on what is causing the mitochondrial dysfunction in the first place, which is something we all can do by ourselves without medical intervention. @36:40, the doctor hit on the major cause of mitochondrial dysfunction, saying the amount of sugar overwhelms the mitochondria. I believe this is true and observable in a petri dish, but is it the quantity or the type of sugar, or both? Dr Lustig teaches that sugars consumed are absorbed differently at different stages of digestion. The initial sugar absorption is fructose, which goes directly to the liver, and that is where the damage is done. He teaches that a healthy digestive tract and biome is the key to cellular level health, and insoluble and soluble fiber is likely the easiest and most effective mechanism a person can take to preserve their mitochondrial health. As best I can describe, it works by preventing the early absorption of fructose by absorbing the sugars, which allows them to reach the lower part of the digestive tract where the good bacteria can feed on the glucose, expel the fructose, and disseminate the energy to all the cells in the body as designed. As well as the valuable information given by Dr. Picard in this video, Doctor Lustig has many videos on the subject with scientific data to back it up.
Tips from Dr Picard:
1. Move! Exercise encourages your body to produce new mitochondria (up to 2x)
2. Don’t eat too much, it’s ok to be hungry - intermittent fasting is great for your mitochondria

What did I learn from this video? That we need more research on mitochondria.
Not necessarily eat less. Don't over-eat. Also, not mentioned here, mitochondria respond and multiple in brown adipose tissue when you submerge in those cold tanks like Joe Rogan has discussed.
Thank you 😂

When I was 10 I learned about mitochondria. I was hooked! The mitochondria is my favorite organelle
It's our favorite too!
How old are you now?
Me too I love them

He's so right that medicine has to move to understanding and fixing problems per the individual rather than "batch" solutions. This is ongoing and gathering steam.
The problem is medication

What to do to improve mitochondrial function start at 32 minutes
Thank you!!
Danke, mein Freund! // Estoy muy agradecido. // Tutto bene qui.
Thank you
Thank you for letting us all know!
I think there are 2 main things that hurt mitochondtia:
-burning glucose most or all of the time. This happens whenever you consume glucose, you know, carbs. Your body has to process consumed carbs before it can use fat.
-Eating and processing food constantly. Eat 1 or 2 low carb meals. Not 6 meals.
Be a fat burner producing ketones. Practice time restricted eating and extended fasting to induce autophagy to repair and rebuild mitochondria.
PhD biochemist emergency physician here.
Read about alpha lipoic acid and acetyl N carnitine as a combination.
In vitro the combination are the mitochondria's best friend s.
Just need some good studies in people!
Both have some evidence for improving egg quality in women undergoing IVF, which seems to be an very energy dependent process (egg development).
Yah, I take both
I take NMN and alpha lipoic acid
Awesome THANK YOU!
thank you, people with amalgams should be watchful with using ALA, among others.
1= move exercise 2= dont eat so much 3= stay positive
Thank you 👍

@@jasminejones9937 welcome
@@mrmegabuckssongs was thank you I'll take the blessing.❤
On #2: Eat as long as you are hungry. Stop eating when not hungry. If you think you are overeating, it's probably because you are eating the wrong food.
One thing I did not hear in this video was the role of sunshine. I have been hearing a lot about the role of infrared light in melatonin production and melatonin is an antioxidant in the mitochondria.
I go to red light therapy at California Sun spa. 85$ a month. Makes me feel 👍
@@davidboyd2963 I might try going to red light areas too...
This is an absolutely wonderful explanation of mitochondria. Thank you. Please give us more!
Thank you! We are happy you enjoyed it.
I have been meditating for many, many decades, and have used visualization as well as breathing techniques in conjunction with adequate exercise, nutrition and healthy sleeping habits. I discovered visualization of healthy, long mitochondria is very essential to staying healthy and fit (I am 52). Concentrating on the digestive system, and the brain are essential if you want to increase your physical and mental health as well as draw positivity into your life. The key to spiritual, mental and physical well-being is recognizing and visualizing the same science that we obtain in the form of products and healthy regimens, and it shouldn't be left out. Visualization is the the missing puzzle piece to our completeness.
I agree with you. Our visualization nourishes our body.
I-theist?
Would you elaborate what do you mean by visualizing things?
@@akoaykilalamo Well, to visualize you need to look first at a structural form in your mind. For instance, breathing techniques start with thinking of your lungs as a paper bag, which you fill from the bottom up, then empty from the top down.
If you can find a good book on chakra cleansing, for instance, visualization of the chakras are at the heart of the procedure, as you imagine each chakra as an orb of a certain color, rotating in a certain direction. You can apply the same technique to any scientific information that you can give structural form in your mind to, in any way that suits your intuition. Open your mind to interpretation and the true meaning and definition of life will in turn open to you.
One of the best comments I’ve read in years.
God bless you sir.
Methylene blue.. started for mother with alzheimers...lots of improvements...it's helped with mitochondria health, regulated neurotransmitters so is excellent...discontinued psychotic drugs..her speech started coming back..excellent awareness...accepting lots of new healthy foods...also discontinued sleeping pill..sleeps 8 to 9 hours on her own
Also try 1/2 tsp mct oil ,,u help feed brain I went up to tap,,it helps glass brown bottle so it's not rancid use good company it's worth extra cost as u don't use loads
That's terrific to see improvements. Check out Dr. Dale Bredesen interviews on preventing & reversing & slowing Alzheimer's & other dementias. He was a resear h neurologist for 20+ yrs, looking for the silver bullet that would reverse/slow/prevent Alzheimer's but they kept coming up empty as had every other researcher/pharma. Finally it dawned on him that dementia is caused by multiple factors interplayed, like angina/heart attacks - so needs multiple simultaneous lifestyle, vitamin, medication changes. Get more improvements the more changes you make (some easy and free like decent sleep, drop processed foods for more whole foods and minimally processed or homemade foods, time your meals differently with a 9+3 fast overnight, regular exercise, stress relief and some, if needed for a particular person, more complicated and expensive, eg removing mold from house or moving out of mold-inhabited house.)
He's wriitten 3 or 4 books by now - highly recommend but would start with an interview or two of him available on you tube.
@@lynlawley8903 thank you but no need MB and all the array of supplements and brain peptides have done the great change
I’ll second MB.
Have my friend with a TBI on it and he is gaining so much more mental clarity and focus. I take it as well and love how I feel on it.
The Blue. Which removes the blues.. Wow
I'd add daily exposure to sunlight. Not burning, not tanning, just natural level on the skin sunlight. We're not designed to live indoors in cocoons.
Interesting! My energy levels are often not too good, since my diet is not ideal and I do not take enough physical exercise. However, I have seen in my life many, many times that when I am suddenly able to fulfill my calling, I immediately feel energized and I forget about the tiredness.
I am completely together with you on that one
Do you have a daily weekly exercise routine? I walk 10-15mins before sleep.
Maybe more protein? They say we need 100 grams a day
If eating ketogenic it's possible you're lacking salt. Sodium, potassium and magnesium. Even after years keto I supplement ALL 3! I put redmonds real.salt and no salt for.potassium in every beverage i take (more in water), and take magnesium supplement at bed.
I take 5-7g od sodium, 5-7g potassium and 200mg magnesium biglycinate. I'm telling you as people supplement but often don't realize how little they take. I'd start with 3 to4g minimum and work up from there. Take magnesium baths or foot soaks too.
Many people also don't eat enough protein. The absolute minimum is 1.2g/kg body weight and aim up to 2.0g/kg if obese or over age of 50. This should be fatty meat on the bone with skin. Eat organs if you can intermittently. Eat varied sources and add seafood and fish. Leaner items like fish may require adding more fat to the meal. If losing weight vs maintaining requires a heavier fat approach to maintain and can be a lot. If you eat the fat coming on meat it makes it easier. Fry your meals in tallow, lard and butter. Eat eggs. Avoid all keto products and heavy use of nuts, dairy and sweeteners. Keep it super clean but pound the salts. I went from 8 weeks of keto flu to changing my brain fog and energy levels as I figured out the salt levels I required.😊
@@dana102083Dana, how do you decide how much sodium, potassium, and magnesium to take?
Very honest information regarding how meds impact mitochondria but we dont know how they actually work and long term effects.
I would love to know how say a 3 day fast every so often affects our mitochondria.
Surely pharma meds longterm is a recipe for disease.
I like his theory on rebound unless we change we will keep getting what we get.
For me its sleeping well. Being active especially outdoors parks and forests and beach walks
Sunshine and swimming or relaxing in water. I like the not eating too much.
Great information look after the mitochondria if you want to stay well.
Really really interesting. I work as a diabetic eye screener, and I'm getting more and more interested in human biology. Both for my own benefit and the patients.
Your ten-year-old learning about mitochondria? At that age we didn't even know about cells. Born in 1952 Sydney Australia :-)
The powerhouse of the ... brain, immune system, emotional health, neurological health, cardiovascular health

Molecular medicine is the forefront of all medicine today. Mitochondria are at the heart of this approach. Understanding the complex, synergistic actions and functions of the body is the key to optimum physical health. It is exciting to be part of this as I treat my own multiple myeloma without traditional radiation and chemotherapy. While doing the things that are suggested here I find that my mind is much stronger as well.
Glad you are trying to treat yourself without chemical ( mitochondrial ) poisoning .
However , the molecular medicine approach really has not much to do with the mitochondria . It is focussed on genes and proteins .
Molecular medicine is a good approach is you want to DAMAGE your mitochondria .
Cancer begins when the mitochondria of a cell become so damaged they can't carry out oxidative phosphorylation, but instead of dying the cell manages to switch to the fermentation of glucose in the cytoplasm.
Or switch to glutamine.
methylene blue seems vital, fyi
And the body cannot control the growth. Some use ketones as well
@@dana102083 which ones?
Are you talking about anaerobic growth?
Really interesting when talking about positive thought and mitochondrial health. I have stage 2 Emphysema and though I lack lung capacity, perhaps 60%, the combination of staying healthy and my state of mind helps my well-being. 1. I move every day, most days extend my capacity. 2. Eat healthy and miss meals. 3. Stay positive and active with creative pursuits. I'm 65, 75Kilo and fit
At 36.40 a very good simple explanation of the bad effects of food/energy overload beside just storing fat.
Thanks! Time stamps would b v good for this long video
This dude has fantastic energy.
(No pun intended. )
Excellent discussion on a topic very much a keen interest of mine for many years, though I am no longer in an academic environment myself. One point not addressed per se, despite some really great questions and answers by you two gentlemen, is that of the potential beneficial role of supplementation supportive of mito health, function, and biogenesis. In particular, PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone) holds outstanding beneficial potential, not alone of course but in conjunction with good nutrition, regular exercise, and yes, intermittent fasting as touched upon here. NMN (Nicotinamide MonoNucleotide) and/or NR (Nicotinamide Riboside, my preferred form) also seem to function synergistically with PQQ in this regard as well, fostering the NAD+/ATP cycle within mitochondria, again as adjuncts to the above lifestyle components. At just shy of 72, my own health & fitness, physically, physiologically, neurologically, cognitively, mentally/emotionally, interpersonally, etc has never been better, and I consider mito health central to the overall equation. Thanks for a terrific segment guys :)
Very interesting
Thanking you for sharing
Vaccines cause mitochondrial disease/ dysfunction. Not always born with it, it’s induced.
Great conversation! I love the energy and excitement regarding mitochondria and getting a better understanding of them and our health.
The icing on the cake for me was the use of the word- Empowering at the end.
I have been saying for some time now- we are experiencing the end of the Disempowerment paradigm and it’s time to usher in the new Empowerment paradigm.
Thank you!
Meditation suggests simply observation of breadths and/or sensations all around and over the body. The benefits are profound, slow to appear and lasts on consistent practice.
Considerable time would be involved, so it's important to do it the right way and learn from the right school.
I tried visualization to no benefit. Now practice Vipassana; transformed my life.
I am going to follow up on a brief comment made by someone else, because I think it is so important. No mention of the effect of light on mitochondria. That is a great shame because light’s effect on mitochondria is very important. Circadian rhythm. Cytochrome C-Oxidase ANd the very important discovery that infra red light produces melatonin IN the Mitochondria. And melatonin is one of the most important endogenous anti-oxidants provided exactly where most ROS are generated.
Recap eat less , fast, move more, feel positive.lead to better healthy mitochondria.Feeling affect your biology.
Same ol same ol. But it's good advice
He forgot to mention, avoid aluminum, and fluoride.
Why ?
fluoride increases the absorption of aluminum by our acidic stomach
And aluminum jams up the midocondrea process…
Dr Chris exley explains how aluminum is root cause of Alzheimer’s, autism , Parkinson’s , MS…
Everybody knows they have to do these things, and yet these two pencil-necks thought people should waste an hour of their time listening to common sense drivel.
Now that's what's an informative interview. Great.
Dr. Sarah Myhill and 2 other doctors came up with a blood test that measures ATP. I believe it is within the first five chapters of her book: The Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalomyolitis. It's an excellent book. I have had MECFS since March of 2017. Her book has helped me to improve to about 70 to 80 percent.
Thank you for this discussion. It is very necessary for us who have MECFS.
Also, Ron Davis from Stanford University has come up with
another blood test for MECFS back in 2019.
Thanks and God Bless for what you are doing!!!!
Miss Monique 🙂🙏🌷
Would you mind saying what has helped you most?
Supplements? Meds? Other stuff?
Ps great to hear that you have recovered well.
@@alicequayle4625 What has helped me the most is understanding the condition of MECFS and the methylation system.
Supplements that help the methylation system are: B12 plus Co-Q-10, D3 at the same time every morning. Also, I wash that down with a drink known as Emergen-C.
After breakfast I then take another supplement which is a combination of Acetyl- L- Carnitine and Alpha Lipoic Acid. All these supplements can be bought at Walmart. Since I can't swallow pills , the first three mentioned are gummies. I was taking D-Ribose for a time. That helps a lot, but it is very expensive at my vitamin store .
Another book by Dr. Teitelbaum is entitled From Fatigued to Fantastic. The acronym for his system is SHINE: s stands for sleep , h stands for hormones, I stands for....I don't remember, n stands for nutrition and e stands for exercise as able.
Both these books in combination should be the textbooks for all the doctor and the patients who have MECFS.
Another book that I find helpful is my Bible. I get great encouragement from the Scriptures. God is our Creator and God is our Healer.
Hope this helps. Spend the money on both books it's worth it.
There is no ,"cure" for MECFS....we all need to work on ourselves and do what is best for ourselves.
God Bless you and your family 💖🙏🌷💗🙂🙏 Miss Monique
Thank you for posting the name of these Doctors & especially the book. I was diagnosed with MECFS in 1992. (Back then, it was called Fibromyalgia)
@@lizrichard3137 Dr. Teitelbaum differentiates between MECFS and Fibromyalgia, and so does Dr. Myhill.
God's Blessings to you 🙏💗🙏💗
Miss Monique
@moniquelemaire5333 Wow, thanks for info! I'm way behind on the research, with no time or energy to read, but I'll look the names up to see if they have videos, I can listen while doing chores. May God bless you as well! 🩷🙏🙂
Thank you! My health took a dive after a high dose statin therapy. From what information I could glean, and there is not much, my mitochondria were negatively impacted system wide. Nine months later, I am beginning to feel some recovery.
What did you do to make the turn around in health?
Were you able to stop the statin?
What dose of statin was involved?
Hope you, build up all areas do happy things to help n get a glocse monitor to get food that suits you

Function of mitochondria and need for customised medication or preventive care; well explained. How mental exhaustion kill more than physical understood well Drs. Thanks a lot. 👍 Alredy talks are going on that there will be customised medicine formula; which as of now is limited to movies.

What is a ketovore?
@@shalomagape5457 adding certain low carb vegetables. Do a search for more details tho. I would also suggest looking at Dr. Ken Berry’s videos.

High rep weightlifting can increase mitochondria, especially using leg muscles.
Yes and ketogenic diet
What a superb interview and acquirement of excellent knowledge at first hand! Thanks to both of you and especially to this unpretentious scientist named Dr Picard.
Thanks so much. Can you invite an expert on to talk about exercise intolerance and post exercise malaise, please? I hear all the time exercise is the best way to increase mitochondria, but so many people crash after exercise.
I second this and wish your comment were pinned.
Too much exercise makes me feel grumpy and tired.
A fascinating and enlightening discussion; a fusion of biology, psychology, physiology,nureology..
@deepdusto do you believe your body exists?
I know that teaching conditions are incredibly challenging and that they don’t receive nearly enough resources and pay for what they do, however the issues with children discipline go both ways, imho. Adults need to learn how to talk to children just as much as children need to learn to speak to adults. As a psych RN that dealt with acute mental illness patients our communication skills are key to deescalation to the vast majority of potentially combative situations. These same skills need to be taught to teachers and used in classrooms. I saw a lot of these clear communication challenges between teachers & kids when my daughter was in school. Yes, this places more accountability in teachers but they’re the adults and these skills will go a long way in assisting teachers which will ultimately help kids and their parents.
Can we have an interview with the experts describing the class of pharma that impairs mito?
Great suggestion!
Tamas Kozicz, Mayo Clinic@@metabolicmind
Yes! That would be amazing!!
Best suggestion I have heard in quite a while! Might be good to partner with Dr. Been (Dr. Been Medical Lectures)!!
I’m an Ironman athlete, and a relatively low carb person. No junk carbs. I listened to podcast #53 of Inside Exercise, where Dr. Paul Coen or (Cohen) discussed his latest research that showed Metformin having a negative relationship with aerobic / mitochondrial promotion in some people.
Fascinating! Thankyou for this important discussion 👏
I realized Mitochondria and their creb cycle are the key to our cellular lives. This is a basic function responsible for our human, plant, and animal life,
Amazing information. Welcome to the 21st Century. This sounds like understanding the influence of our medications on our Mitochondria might help us to solve the root causes of our diseases.
Theres a whole machine with billions of moving parts that keeps us alive and moving. Forever amazing.
So grateful for the research presented here! As others do, I too research to improve health w/o extending dependence on phamaceuticals. Any new researchers with potentially actionable steps like those shown here are treasures to those who have psychotic symptoms. While a researcher and not a physician, the knowledge that research has gained is hope for diseases cruel and often hellish. Thank you. Please keep up the good fight!
A fascinating discussion!
IMO, this guy is really onto something big!
Thank you so much for such n inspiring discussion!
Great information. Enlightening experience listening to this podcast. Thanks so much for this crucial knowledge 🙏🙏🙏
So informative! Life changing knowledge, literally!
Thank you! 🙏🤍🙏
So interesting! This is a discussion I'll save to rewatch later.
Absolutely incredibly fascinating. I wish I was a teenager so I could study this field at university.
Energetic changes in the body? I used to wake up in the morning very tired, then I started taking
Magnesium L-threonate, Magnesium Bisglycinate and Magnesium Taurate and now I have a lot more energy when I wake up and all day...I wonder if my mitochondria are happier because I am. I used to want to turn over and go back to sleep...
Well, that’s good news! I wake up feeling guilty and stressed that I have paid for exercises classes that I didn’t attend but very happy and content snuggling in my nice warm bed. I’m active though, I love my job and pottering around the house doing stuff. I also do intermittent fasting because it’s fun for me. I must be one of those low responders…
Same WhatsApp group with you
This is a fascinating film, thank you both very much!
I'm totally on board with his findings and recommendations. I liked his discussion about medications and their effect on mitochondria although he steered clear of the covid vaccine.
Not eating too much - particularly sugar, because mitochondria produce energy by aerobic respiration (another reason exercise helps biogeneis and maintain mitochondria health) but cancer uses sugar fermentation for energy through anaerobic respiration, even when in the presence of oxygen. Sugar is fine when used for energy, preferably complex carbs (sugar), but too much causes many problems beyond the scope here. Allowing a fasting state has many benefits, including triggering autophagy and mitophagy, which recycles damaged and bad mitochondria to make new ones that are healthy, before disease sets in.
This is such a great podcast, thank you for taking the time to create this.
Yes, health is very dynamic and with personal growth and taking more responsibility for what we consume from thoughts, relationship dynamics to emotions and life experiences we can create amazing health.
❤😊so knowledgeable health podcast truly educational ❤😊
i feel positive and good maybe one day a week 😌 i been questioning this lately.
What an amazing channel.
So well explained, such a thoughtful posting. Learned so much. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
What’s interesting the discussion on acquired impacts…..and the one you don’t mention is the physiology of oxygen delivery and to me the #1 healthy habit everyone can shift right now (day and night). The impact of voluntary and involuntary breathing influences ALL these things shared. Clinically I see this a lot as it relates to progression of disease and reversal to promoting health. Wanna chat about this in detail many don’t realize (most just talk about rate, and yet there is soooo much more than BPM)
Please ,explain as trying to help my self to what can I watch, and you gave another line to follow but where from help please ,many thank s Llj ,

Tips from Dr Picard:
1. Move! Exercise encourages your body to produce new mitochondria (up to 2x)
2. Don’t eat too much, it’s ok to be hungry - intermittent fasting is great for your mitochondria
3. A new idea being proposed is possibly your mental state can change your mitochondria (ie., do what you can to lead a life that makes you happy!)

I need this lecture very much
A very interesting and informative interview - we can shortcut that to a 3i vid ;-) I 'see and hear' layers of potential support or damage - environmental as in toxins in the world we live in, food/diet, psychological stresses. It would be interesting to see differences in the health of the mito in Tibetan monks vs 'Bob Smith living in central Manhattan and working in the Investment Banking industry' and also appreciating whether divesting bad layers allows the mito to heal / get back into optimal function.
Thank you so very much for this informative video! Our loving Creator has gifted us/created us in such an unbelievably astounding way! Love, gratitude and loyalty towards our loving Creator, our Lord and Saviour Christ brings great benefits to our overall health and our overall happiness!!!
I really value my college physiology😊. And am thankful that there are no genetic issues in my kids and grandkids. We are all on organic foods, exercise, and avoid chemicals whenever possible. I would love to know how giving kids 90 vaccines is good for their mitochondria.
Wonder that too. About vaccine
@@endgamefond me too
90 ?
In regard to the experiments Dr. Picard mentioned in which mitochondrial networks within cultured cells became fragmented following an excessive supply of energy, it would be interesting to see this experiment repeated with variations in the type of energy source supplied (e.g., pure fat vs. pure carbs vs. fat and carbs in varying proportions) and with variations in the starting conditions of the cells (e.g., fat-adapted vs. not fat-adapted).
The. MIND is NOT in the body
The brain is not the mind.
All energy comes from your thoughts (the mind)
Take care what you think about.
Talk to your body....
Your cells are listening.
Positive affirmation. Yes take captive your thoughts discard negativity.
Another amazing interview!!! Thanks so much for all you are doing for providing these cutting edge interviews @MetabolicMind! Blessings to you all!!!
Fascinating interview, especially about circulating energy.
From memory the brain is 2% of Body weight, but uses 20% of the entire bodies Oxygen needs, ten times more than any other organ or tissue. At 62 I use a number of supplements and "Zone 2" exercise (I think) a combination of intense interval training along with Heavy weights 2-3 times per week, 1-2 long bike rides, 1-boxing session for coordination, 2-outdoor circuit sessions, with a group of middle aged men. After a major head injury 5.5 yrs ago, improving brain function-hopefully repairing the brain became a focus of mine. I've had significant improvement 95-99% better with improvement in energy...
Try photobiomodulation using 850nm near infrared light for cognitive benefits.
Do keto to improve energy for your brain
Pranayama with mild bodily exercise & weekly one day intermittent fasting is good enough....🤗
Hey, I carry with me a life long theory that my energy (must be the mitochondria) got wrecked after a childhood hepatitis A. I was before that disease a child not afraid of some risk taking but after it, I became a coward in gym, started to read a lot, like I had been doing during my isolation in a separate room. I also find less joy in alcohol then most men, since I get very fast tired from it. Having not much energy is a burden in many ways in life. I never knew who would take this seriously. Normally the liver recovers and that's it, they say.
Do you have pain symptoms with your mitochondrial dysfunction
Nothing at all and I am also rather healthy. Why are there (few) strong people with abundant energy? Is it their hormones? Their mitochondria? Used to hard work even as child? Their belief in themselves? And are lazy people or animals lacking in "character" or do they just lack the energy?? Etc...@@Truerealism747
This is really great! Now please, please list for me how to keep these other organelles healthy, I am so worried I have no idea how to deal with them: my ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes and I am particularly worried that I am not taking care of my endoplasmic reticulum.
Are you on a ketogenic diet?
Just eat a animal based diet....
So grateful for beautiful an important seminar!!!
Capture your 10-year-olds’ attention by telling them about the resident aliens with their own DNA they received from their mothers and is the reason we could trace our ancestor to the first mother. I learned that mitochondria have their own DNA long after I learned about mitochondria and it’s still one of the most exciting thing I ever learned.
Excellent interview 👏
Watched 5 times ... Thanks!
@brutalgeneric: thank you for your comment. That is actually helpful. I can easily obtain indirect sunlight. I live in the sunny southwest. I slather sunscreen on whenever I step outside. Perhaps in late afternoon going out without without the sunscreen for a walk would be an ideal way to get indirect sunlight. Very helpful tip.
excellent discussion, thanks! A Picard never disappoints! #StarTrek
UA-cam algorithm kept showing ad about StarTrek games while I was watching this video 😂
Wrong, this video clearly is lacking. He fails to mention the benefits of red light and near infrared light therapy (650 and 850nm) on mitochondrial rejuvenation.
Nor does he mention methylene blue supplementation which is a salt that when consumed as an OTC pharmacy supplement, improves mitochondrial function, also.
I am glad to hear these confirmations of 3 major potential lifestyle measures to support mitochondria. Thank you so much!
How can we assess our mitochondrial health with testing?
That's tough to do outside a research facility. But hopefully researchers will help change that!
I am not an expert, so take this with a huge grain of salt, but it seems to me that anything that measures energy efficiency, commonly known as fitness, would work. There are two common ways to do this. VO2 max is one but it requires a treadmill and sophisticated equipment, though it is more accurate. The other is heart rate recovery rate. Exercise until you are at your max heart rate [1] and record that heart rate. Then rest and record your heart rate 1 minute later. The difference between those two numbers is a measure of your energetic health. The higher the difference, the faster your body recovers, the more fit you are, and the healthier your mitochondria are. This is easy to do without anything other than a stopwatch, though less accurate, really only an approximation. You can sprint, do burpees, run on the spot, etc. (web search HIIT for alternatives), to get up to your max heart rate. A longer version is to measure how long it takes to get from your max heart rate to your resting heart rate, but the essence is captured in the simpler version and it doesn't take as long. It can take many minutes to reach resting heart rate, as the decrements decrease with time.
1. Be careful with this, if you are in very poor shape and overdo the exercise intensity, you can actually give yourself a heart attack. Start slowly. Maybe walk for 20 minutes (10?, 5?, 1?), measure your heart rate, and then rest for a minute and measure it again. As you get fitter, increase the intensity of the exercise to raise your heart rate slightly each time. From what I've read, dropping 25 bpm in the first minute is reasonable fitness for the average person, though elite athletes will be much higher, maybe three or four times that. For example, an elite athlete might have a max heart rate nearing 200 bpm, and drop as much as 100 bpm in the first minute. Depending on your age, this might be an impossible target, as max heart rate drops with age, even for elite athletes. You can find approximations of max heart rate online, for a given age (a simple, rough formula is 220 - your age).
I found out about my mitochondrial issues through taking the full body intelligence test at Viome. They send supplements for helping in many areas after the results are given as well as dietary advice.
@@AyaSmith-rb2hp Thank you!

That is another way to help you're self ,,is using a new glucose monitor away to help with cancer as😂 zoe said each person is affected differently by food , as we are all individuals,,
You already know the answer, I am 1,000% sure. SUGAR - isn’t so sweet for the body. Period. Dump that sinister sweetness
@@martywilliard oh yeah! already have! i am just curious about the mechanism on a cellular level. would be cool to hear the specifics about how it sabotages the cell. just biology nerd stuff :)
@@Brandonbraun I get it! This is what we need more of
Fructose effects mitochondria keeps it from making ATP
Keep up the good work.
I've been doing low carb on and off for a long time, with great results. Now as i hear keto really could improve mental health, i'm working towards getting into sufficient ketosis. I've got adhd and i wonder how helpful ketosis might be. I'll let you know about the results.
Thanks for letting us know. Keep us updated!
Id look into zero carb/carnivore aswell. Although you probably dont need it, its very interesting to learn what plants affect u.
Hi, I'm 4 years keto now, with a 48 hour fast every week. At 76 i weight train 4 X week, cardio 2 x. Have unlimited stamina and exact weight control as long as I stay off carbs and fructose. Took about 2 years to break carb addiction and eating in general. I can exist on one meal, or two or none provided I am eating protein, fats and some green or surface growing veg. Discovering psyllium husks as a preffered fibre source instead of fruit keeps my gut in top order.good luck.
Fantastic, thank you 👍 amazing about mental health affecting physical health good listening to you both
I appreciate Dr. Picard's caution and concern with the use of medications not clearly understood by those prescribing them. It could be that they are only trying to treat the symptoms rather than focusing on what is causing the mitochondrial dysfunction in the first place, which is something we all can do by ourselves without medical intervention. @36:40, the doctor hit on the major cause of mitochondrial dysfunction, saying the amount of sugar overwhelms the mitochondria. I believe this is true and observable in a petri dish, but is it the quantity or the type of sugar, or both? Dr Lustig teaches that sugars consumed are absorbed differently at different stages of digestion. The initial sugar absorption is fructose, which goes directly to the liver, and that is where the damage is done. He teaches that a healthy digestive tract and biome is the key to cellular level health, and insoluble and soluble fiber is likely the easiest and most effective mechanism a person can take to preserve their mitochondrial health. As best I can describe, it works by preventing the early absorption of fructose by absorbing the sugars, which allows them to reach the lower part of the digestive tract where the good bacteria can feed on the glucose, expel the fructose, and disseminate the energy to all the cells in the body as designed.
As well as the valuable information given by Dr. Picard in this video, Doctor Lustig has many videos on the subject with scientific data to back it up.
