Description: Discover this updated perspective of mitochondria—tiny but mighty organelles that are the “powerhouses of the cell". New research shows that the mitochondria do more than just convert food into energy—they’re orchestrators of critical functions for optimal health Learn from Daria Mochly-Rosen, a Stanford University professor for translational medicine and an updated and comprehensive examination of mitochondria and their vital role in human health. Furthermore, mitochondria dysfunction is linked to: Alzheimer’s disease, type 2 diabetes, heart diseases, cancer, depression, autism spectrum disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome, and infertility. Explore important mitochondrial questions: How does exercise help mitochondria improve your muscles and your brain? What nutrients do mitochondria thrive on, and how is your gut microbiome involved? How can developing better sleeping habits improve your mitochondrial health? Why relaxing and managing stress will reduce damage to your mitochondria? How can you protect your mitochondria from toxins in the environment? Why mitochondria are the key to healthy aging Skillfully weaving cutting-edge scientific discoveries, expert testimonies, personal stories, and practical insights, you will learn to inspire and empower your clients to adopt lifestyle changes that will benefit the smallest—and most crucial—parts of the human body.
