Almost all diseases are correlated to that metabolic dysfunction, which is essentially synonymous with mitochondrial dysfunction.” (15:01) “Doing all these things that are disrupting our circadian rhythm is wreaking havoc.” (19:03) “You compare the data over 28 years, someone smoking two packs a day has 16% more likelihood of having cancer. Over those same 28 years, someone who eats a high poly and saturated fatty acid diet has an 86% higher rate of cancer. That’s like five times of cigarettes two packs a day.” (23:55) “If we are saying that most people are insulin resistant or glucose intolerant, and they are not taking glucose into the cell as well, then this alternate fuel source of ketones is going to help that mitochondria get the fuel source it needs to create ATP.” (33:53) “Lifespan is how long you live, healthspan is how long you live without disease. And so now healthspan is a big part of the discussion, how vibrantly are we living?” (36:41)   In This Episode What you can do to support yourself if you are not able to get the sleep you should be getting (9:22) How to support your mitochondria if your lifestyle is currently wearing down on its function (17:40) Which foods could be wreaking havoc on your hormones, metabolism, and more (22:55) The top nutrients that you will benefit from by adding i
