“Mitochondrial health is the foundation of all health. Over 90% of your cellular energy is produced in these so-called ‘powerhouses of the cell’ and you use this abundance of energy to support your cognitive and athletic performance, to promote graceful aging, to protect you from diseases and hardship as you age, to prevent and heal from chronic disease, and to be your very best self in every possible way...
The problem is most approaches to mitochondrial health use a one-size-fits-all approach, as if everyone needs CoQ10, methylene blue, or PQQ, or as if carbohydrates are either good or bad for everyone. The reality is that there are 297 different genes that govern the respiratory chain, the primary site of mitochondrial energy production, and that means there are over 297 ways in which your needs for mitochondrial health can be different than the next person’s needs. While sifting through 297 problems to find the one that matters most to your health may seem like a daunting task, MitoMe simplifies this into just four measurements. Determining your general ‘mitochondrial type’ in this way can yield incredible information about what type of diet you should eat and which supplements you should be taking to support your health and well being. I have found this test to be the highest return on investment for the smallest number of measurements out of any test I have run for my clients, so I now endorse it as the first and most powerful test you should run to better understand your mitochondrial type and what you can personally do as an individual to supercharge your mitochondria.
