Why Taking Care of Your Mitochondria is SO Important

Күн бұрын

Mitochondria produce 90% of the energy our bodies need, but many of us are eating food that disrupts their function, leading to symptoms like fatigue and brain fog. Dr. Steven Gundry, Dr. Casey Means and Dr. Robert Lustig are some of the world’s leading experts on mitochondrial health. In this episode, we explore the ways in which we’re poisoning our mitochondria and what we can do to repair the damage.
In this episode we cover:
00:03:03 - Mitoclub Analogy
00:15:15 - Impact of Excess Blood Glucose
00:20:02 - Fructose
00:21:21 - How to Support Your Mitochondria
00:25:19 - Mitochondria 101
00:27:37 - Foods that Poison Your Mitochondria
00:29:31 - 3 Key Takeaways

0:33: 💡 Mitochondria are small organelles in cells that produce energy through cellular respiration and have their own genetic material. 5:04: ! The nightclub-like electron transport chain in mitochondria is responsible for changing energy levels of electrons and protons, with glutathione and melatonin acting as bouncers to regulate the process. 10:18: 🔑 Ketones play a crucial role in signaling mitochondria to waste fuel and open emergency exits, helping regulate body temperature and heat production. 13:54: 🔬 Mitochondria play a crucial role in lifelong health by producing heat, protecting themselves, and repairing themselves. 18:31: 🧬 Insulin resistance is a protective mechanism of cells to prevent excessive glucose uptake, but it can lead to elevated blood glucose levels. 22:25: 💡 Excessive glucose in the bloodstream can lead to insulin resistance, inflammation, and oxidative stress, which are associated with various health disorders. 26:46: 🧠 Disruption of mitochondrial function can lead to disease, particularly in the brain which requires a steady supply of ATP.

@hugoapresname 7 ай бұрын

That is outrageously *murderous* to tell that to anybody!!!!!!! It will kill you if your body is not fat adapted yet. It’s called *metabolically flexible*. If you are not trained, nutrient prepared or genetically unable, you will suffer starvation effects like death of brain, muscle, nerve and immune cells. Yes, thank God, the body can learn or (re-learn) to produce its own glucose. I think it’s called “Gluco-Neo-Genesis”. Fructose inhibits “GNG” and ATP Production. The fiber content in whole fruit together with polyphenols would feed the gut bacteria as pre-biotic and they would produce post-biotics, and tell the mitochondria to uncouble, burn to heat and multiply. Modern Fruit 🍌 and vegetables 🥗 have more sugar content and less fiber. So the more we eat it the more we starve (muscle/brain desease!).The more we starve the more we eat. The more we eat, the more we starve. Gundry: Eat more Polyphenols 🤔 Try more “resistent starches” Lustig: Eat way less Fructose

He is brilliant 👏 and an expert in the evils of sugar and fructose, insulin, insulin resistance, ultra-processed carbohydrates, fats, metabolic syndrome and all its related diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, CVD, insulin resistance, dementia, immune diseases, kidney disease and cancer, and he says that all diseases start with Mitochondrial dysfunction at the level of liver cells, which cause a fatty-liver, which cause insulin-resistance which in turn leads to all the degenerative diseases mentioned above. I read Dr. Lustig's two books: Metabolical, his best-seller FAT Chance, and watched his best lecture, Sugar : The Bitter Truth. Thank you, Dr. Lustig, you are saving lives.

22:07 Muscles don't require insulin for glucose uptake.? From Gemini AI: "Muscle cells: Both skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle rely heavily on glucose for energy. Insulin promotes the movement of special transporter proteins (GLUT4) to the cell surface, allowing glucose to enter the muscle cells. Muscle cells can still take up some glucose even without insulin, but at a much slower rate."

Did you know EVERY CANCER CELL (no matter if it is lung, liver breast, brain) does the same thing? Something is triggered in the mitochondria that is stops using oxygen as energy and it starts to use glucose (sugar) -- this is why when you starve the body of glucose the cancer cells die. Cancer cells need SUGAR. Regular cells can use ketones and don't need sugar - cancer cells can't. Only problem is the your body makes glutamine - which is form of glucose. Cancer could easily be cured and it is purposely NOT CURED. Why? Because hospitals make billions on treating cancer. They don't want to find a cure.

Why bdy is choosing the third option to bind excess glucose bind with proteins like hemoglobin in the bloodstream to form inflamatory advanced glycation end products. I understand this is aging but why body not stays in the second option and acumulates more and more fat instead continues to the third option. I ask this because I believe we are our body has a very intelligent being, it does do everything with a good logic, to protect itself, then how can he damages itself in this way.

Fan, what is this a sport? That's an example (among the many other) of a pattern that will contribute collectively to the gradual devolvement into idiocracy...filter bubble echo chambers wherein people tribally or selectively stay tuned in only to who they 'like' - as active agents of the dynamically forming future we as a whole need to adopt more of a principle of intellectual responsibility and associated type mentality when it comes to approaching information - that entails seeking out and listening to not only who you're 'a fan' of... But on a more specific level in this case, did you already understand what was brought up by Dr. Gundry re: uncoupling proteins? I'm sure the channel team included the selected clip in the video for a reason lol ...Typically we can all learn from virtually anyone else (who knows at least something we might not yet)...I mean, I like Lustig more also but again, at the end of the day it would help if we all practiced a bit more humility re: our own intellectual inclinations and sense of who/what are worthy sources, learning and listening to all (or at least widely diverse) sources. Even average janes & joes often know at least something that even a given SME (subject matter expert) - could learn from

Its not even in the realm of suggestion. I applaud her work but was very disappointed with your representation of her talk. Ditto Lustigs talk. He didnt present a list of foods or even conceptually close to that yet you referred to his talk as something we could use when shopping in the grocery store. Did you even listen to their talks? Did you edit out the useful bits? You created bogus expectations. Disappointed.
