Are your mitochondria healthy?

From exercise to fasting to cold plunging, people are trying all kinds of things to support these little “engines” in our cells, called mitochondria, that make ATP and basically supply the energy for everything our cells do, from brain function to heart and muscle function and even tissue healing.

Everything requires energy, and at the cellular level, energy starts with our mitochondria.

But did you know that as we age, our mitochondria decrease in number and in efficiency? Kind of like a car engine that gets less efficient year after year. And just like that car engine, we want to give our mitochondria a regular “tune up” so they can function at their best – which means we function at our best!

Here’s a little clip about a key way Rachelle and I have found to support our mitochondria, and what that’s meant for us.
