Tips from Dr Picard: 1. Move! Exercise encourages your body to produce new mitochondria (up to 2x) 2. Don’t eat too much, it’s ok to be hungry - intermittent fasting is great for your mitochondria 3. A new idea being proposed is possibly your mental state can change your mitochondria (ie., do what you can to lead a life that makes you happy!)
If Person have adrenal fatigue, exercice can be dangerous, walk is great, and also fasting can be dangerous with People who have unstable blood sugar..so we should be careful of giving general advice ;)
Some of us wear our "nerd" label with great pride. I have noticed that those flinging that term around seem to think that being ignorant is somehow cool (hip). It ain't.
honestly, intellectuals do a lot of damage to the world. those who make actual contributions are in the minority. i've spent a lot of time around intellectuals and they tend to be very degenerate people.
Finally a person who can discuss mitochondria without finding themselves saying 'mitochondria .... make energy' and appropriately describes them as transforming energy.
He's so right that medicine has to move to understanding and fixing problems per the individual rather than "batch" solutions. This is ongoing and gathering steam.
PhD biochemist emergency physician here. Read about alpha lipoic acid and acetyl N carnitine as a combination. In vitro the combination are the mitochondria's best friend s. Just need some good studies in people!
One thing I did not hear in this video was the role of sunshine. I have been hearing a lot about the role of infrared light in melatonin production and melatonin is an antioxidant in the mitochondria.
Methylene blue.. started for mother with alzheimers...lots of improvements...it's helped with mitochondria health, regulated neurotransmitters so is excellent...discontinued psychotic drugs..her speech started coming back..excellent awareness...accepting lots of new healthy foods...also discontinued sleeping pill..sleeps 8 to 9 hours on her own
Also try 1/2 tsp mct oil ,,u help feed brain I went up to tap,,it helps glass brown bottle so it's not rancid use good company it's worth extra cost as u don't use loads
That's terrific to see improvements. Check out Dr. Dale Bredesen interviews on preventing & reversing & slowing Alzheimer's & other dementias. He was a resear h neurologist for 20+ yrs, looking for the silver bullet that would reverse/slow/prevent Alzheimer's but they kept coming up empty as had every other researcher/pharma. Finally it dawned on him that dementia is caused by multiple factors interplayed, like angina/heart attacks - so needs multiple simultaneous lifestyle, vitamin, medication changes. Get more improvements the more changes you make (some easy and free like decent sleep, drop processed foods for more whole foods and minimally processed or homemade foods, time your meals differently with a 9+3 fast overnight, regular exercise, stress relief and some, if needed for a particular person, more complicated and expensive, eg removing mold from house or moving out of mold-inhabited house.) He's wriitten 3 or 4 books by now - highly recommend but would start with an interview or two of him available on you tube.
I have been meditating for many, many decades, and have used visualization as well as breathing techniques in conjunction with adequate exercise, nutrition and healthy sleeping habits. I discovered visualization of healthy, long mitochondria is very essential to staying healthy and fit (I am 52). Concentrating on the digestive system, and the brain are essential if you want to increase your physical and mental health as well as draw positivity into your life. The key to spiritual, mental and physical well-being is recognizing and visualizing the same science that we obtain in the form of products and healthy regimens, and it shouldn't be left out. Visualization is the the missing puzzle piece to our completeness.
@@akoaykilalamo Well, to visualize you need to look first at a structural form in your mind. For instance, breathing techniques start with thinking of your lungs as a paper bag, which you fill from the bottom up, then empty from the top down. If you can find a good book on chakra cleansing, for instance, visualization of the chakras are at the heart of the procedure, as you imagine each chakra as an orb of a certain color, rotating in a certain direction. You can apply the same technique to any scientific information that you can give structural form in your mind to, in any way that suits your intuition. Open your mind to interpretation and the true meaning and definition of life will in turn open to you.
I think there are 2 main things that hurt mitochondtia: -burning glucose most or all of the time. This happens whenever you consume glucose, you know, carbs. Your body has to process consumed carbs before it can use fat. -Eating and processing food constantly. Eat 1 or 2 low carb meals. Not 6 meals. Be a fat burner producing ketones. Practice time restricted eating and extended fasting to induce autophagy to repair and rebuild mitochondria.
Interesting! My energy levels are often not too good, since my diet is not ideal and I do not take enough physical exercise. However, I have seen in my life many, many times that when I am suddenly able to fulfill my calling, I immediately feel energized and I forget about the tiredness.
If eating ketogenic it's possible you're lacking salt. Sodium, potassium and magnesium. Even after years keto I supplement ALL 3! I put redmonds real.salt and no salt for.potassium in every beverage i take (more in water), and take magnesium supplement at bed. I take 5-7g od sodium, 5-7g potassium and 200mg magnesium biglycinate. I'm telling you as people supplement but often don't realize how little they take. I'd start with 3 to4g minimum and work up from there. Take magnesium baths or foot soaks too. Many people also don't eat enough protein. The absolute minimum is 1.2g/kg body weight and aim up to 2.0g/kg if obese or over age of 50. This should be fatty meat on the bone with skin. Eat organs if you can intermittently. Eat varied sources and add seafood and fish. Leaner items like fish may require adding more fat to the meal. If losing weight vs maintaining requires a heavier fat approach to maintain and can be a lot. If you eat the fat coming on meat it makes it easier. Fry your meals in tallow, lard and butter. Eat eggs. Avoid all keto products and heavy use of nuts, dairy and sweeteners. Keep it super clean but pound the salts. I went from 8 weeks of keto flu to changing my brain fog and energy levels as I figured out the salt levels I required.😊
Dr. Sarah Myhill and 2 other doctors came up with a blood test that measures ATP. I believe it is within the first five chapters of her book: The Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalomyolitis. It's an excellent book. I have had MECFS since March of 2017. Her book has helped me to improve to about 70 to 80 percent. Thank you for this discussion. It is very necessary for us who have MECFS. Also, Ron Davis from Stanford University has come up with another blood test for MECFS back in 2019. Thanks and God Bless for what you are doing!!!! Miss Monique 🙂🙏🌷
@@alicequayle4625 What has helped me the most is understanding the condition of MECFS and the methylation system. Supplements that help the methylation system are: B12 plus Co-Q-10, D3 at the same time every morning. Also, I wash that down with a drink known as Emergen-C. After breakfast I then take another supplement which is a combination of Acetyl- L- Carnitine and Alpha Lipoic Acid. All these supplements can be bought at Walmart. Since I can't swallow pills , the first three mentioned are gummies. I was taking D-Ribose for a time. That helps a lot, but it is very expensive at my vitamin store . Another book by Dr. Teitelbaum is entitled From Fatigued to Fantastic. The acronym for his system is SHINE: s stands for sleep , h stands for hormones, I stands for....I don't remember, n stands for nutrition and e stands for exercise as able. Both these books in combination should be the textbooks for all the doctor and the patients who have MECFS. Another book that I find helpful is my Bible. I get great encouragement from the Scriptures. God is our Creator and God is our Healer. Hope this helps. Spend the money on both books it's worth it. There is no ,"cure" for MECFS....we all need to work on ourselves and do what is best for ourselves. God Bless you and your family 💖🙏🌷💗🙂🙏 Miss Monique
@moniquelemaire5333 Wow, thanks for info! I'm way behind on the research, with no time or energy to read, but I'll look the names up to see if they have videos, I can listen while doing chores. May God bless you as well! 🩷🙏🙂
Molecular medicine is the forefront of all medicine today. Mitochondria are at the heart of this approach. Understanding the complex, synergistic actions and functions of the body is the key to optimum physical health. It is exciting to be part of this as I treat my own multiple myeloma without traditional radiation and chemotherapy. While doing the things that are suggested here I find that my mind is much stronger as well.
Glad you are trying to treat yourself without chemical ( mitochondrial ) poisoning . However , the molecular medicine approach really has not much to do with the mitochondria . It is focussed on genes and proteins . Molecular medicine is a good approach is you want to DAMAGE your mitochondria .
Very honest information regarding how meds impact mitochondria but we dont know how they actually work and long term effects. I would love to know how say a 3 day fast every so often affects our mitochondria. Surely pharma meds longterm is a recipe for disease. I like his theory on rebound unless we change we will keep getting what we get. For me its sleeping well. Being active especially outdoors parks and forests and beach walks Sunshine and swimming or relaxing in water. I like the not eating too much. Great information look after the mitochondria if you want to stay well.
Really really interesting. I work as a diabetic eye screener, and I'm getting more and more interested in human biology. Both for my own benefit and the patients.
I eat one meal a day and keep satiated until the next day. I’m a ketovore eater. Has healed my body in many many ways. I wish more ppl cared about what they consume.😊
Really interesting when talking about positive thought and mitochondrial health. I have stage 2 Emphysema and though I lack lung capacity, perhaps 60%, the combination of staying healthy and my state of mind helps my well-being. 1. I move every day, most days extend my capacity. 2. Eat healthy and miss meals. 3. Stay positive and active with creative pursuits. I'm 65, 75Kilo and fit
0:04: 🧬 Dr. Martin Picard discusses the importance of mitochondria in metabolic and mental health. 4:07: 🧠 Mitochondria are like the brain of the cell, involved in transforming energy and processing information. 9:35: 💡 Mitochondria transform energy from food and oxygen into different forms of energy, such as ATP, which powers human function and consciousness. 14:39: 💡 Metabolic dysfunction, including insulin resistance, can impact mitochondria and energy flow in the body. 19:53: 🔬 The video discusses acquired mitochondrial disorders and how they can be influenced by psychological states, chronic stress, early life adversity, diet, and exposure to insecticides and pesticides. 25:12: 💡 Communication between the brain and body is energetically demanding, and mitochondrial biology plays a crucial role in this energetic connection. 30:20: 🧠 Psychiatry should focus on short-term acute episodes of psychosis and explore alternative methods to target mitochondrial health for long-term treatment. 35:50: 🏃♂ Physical activity stimulates the production of more mitochondria, which can improve energy levels and overall health. 40:35: 🔑 Individualized medicine, moderation in eating, and positive psychological states can promote mitochondrial health. 45:15: 🧠 Feeling positive and having positive experiences can improve mitochondrial biology in immune cells and potentially in brain cells. 50:39: 🧠 The speaker believes that the current framework for understanding mental health is overhyped and disempowering, and suggests an alternative framework that respects individual differences. Recap by Tammy AI
Great conversation! I love the energy and excitement regarding mitochondria and getting a better understanding of them and our health. The icing on the cake for me was the use of the word- Empowering at the end. I have been saying for some time now- we are experiencing the end of the Disempowerment paradigm and it’s time to usher in the new Empowerment paradigm. Thank you!
Cancer begins when the mitochondria of a cell become so damaged they can't carry out oxidative phosphorylation, but instead of dying the cell manages to switch to the fermentation of glucose in the cytoplasm.
Not eating too much - particularly sugar, because mitochondria produce energy by aerobic respiration (another reason exercise helps biogeneis and maintain mitochondria health) but cancer uses sugar fermentation for energy through anaerobic respiration, even when in the presence of oxygen. Sugar is fine when used for energy, preferably complex carbs (sugar), but too much causes many problems beyond the scope here. Allowing a fasting state has many benefits, including triggering autophagy and mitophagy, which recycles damaged and bad mitochondria to make new ones that are healthy, before disease sets in.
Excellent discussion on a topic very much a keen interest of mine for many years, though I am no longer in an academic environment myself. One point not addressed per se, despite some really great questions and answers by you two gentlemen, is that of the potential beneficial role of supplementation supportive of mito health, function, and biogenesis. In particular, PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone) holds outstanding beneficial potential, not alone of course but in conjunction with good nutrition, regular exercise, and yes, intermittent fasting as touched upon here. NMN (Nicotinamide MonoNucleotide) and/or NR (Nicotinamide Riboside, my preferred form) also seem to function synergistically with PQQ in this regard as well, fostering the NAD+/ATP cycle within mitochondria, again as adjuncts to the above lifestyle components. At just shy of 72, my own health & fitness, physically, physiologically, neurologically, cognitively, mentally/emotionally, interpersonally, etc has never been better, and I consider mito health central to the overall equation. Thanks for a terrific segment guys :)
Meditation suggests simply observation of breadths and/or sensations all around and over the body. The benefits are profound, slow to appear and lasts on consistent practice. Considerable time would be involved, so it's important to do it the right way and learn from the right school. I tried visualization to no benefit. Now practice Vipassana; transformed my life.
Not necessarily eat less. Don't over-eat. Also, not mentioned here, mitochondria respond and multiple in brown adipose tissue when you submerge in those cold tanks like Joe Rogan has discussed.
This is about to become the number one health-related topic. This will put holistic medicine on top... We finally have good info on how to optimize mitochondrial wellness. Dave Asprey calls mitochondria centric within the vast field of bio-hacking and longevity potentials.
I just would like to say that. Listening to guys like you makes me motivated and inspires me. Mainstream is just not deep enough for me. Hail to the TH-cam platform gods LOL 😁😄✊️
Function of mitochondria and need for customised medication or preventive care; well explained. How mental exhaustion kill more than physical understood well Drs. Thanks a lot. 👍 Alredy talks are going on that there will be customised medicine formula; which as of now is limited to movies.
On #2: Eat as long as you are hungry. Stop eating when not hungry. If you think you are overeating, it's probably because you are eating the wrong food.
Thank you! My health took a dive after a high dose statin therapy. From what information I could glean, and there is not much, my mitochondria were negatively impacted system wide. Nine months later, I am beginning to feel some recovery.
Absolutely incredibly fascinating. I wish I was a teenager so I could study this field at university. Energetic changes in the body? I used to wake up in the morning very tired, then I started taking Magnesium L-threonate, Magnesium Bisglycinate and Magnesium Taurate and now I have a lot more energy when I wake up and all day...I wonder if my mitochondria are happier because I am. I used to want to turn over and go back to sleep...
Great information! Thank you. Trying to improve ecosystem of my mitochondria by practicing fasting, exercise, and diet OMAD making my microbiom happy. I feel big improvement in functioning/strength of my body over last couple of years. Info in this podcast is golden. THANK YOU! Happy New Year 2024!
This video should have been titled: “How to maintain and enhance your healthy mitochondrial function.” It is very good information within those limits. What it should NOT be seen as, is any kind of therapy or solutions for those who are suffering from Mitochondrial Dysfunction or disease. Those people suffering from chronic low functioning mitochondria don’t need to hear very young Doctors telling them- “To Move!” when their bodies won’t let them get out of a chair much of the time. And I mean at the level where they might only be able to get out of that chair if the house is on fire. Or to “Eat Less!” when every natural signal in their bodies is telling them they are in fact starving from lack of nutrition because of their resultant lack of energy. Or, “Find Some Way to Feel HAPPY!” when their lives are being ground into a fine dust of failure by their inability to function in an even vaguely normal way. For those people- understand that what you have here are two very young doctors, giddy with their first real world experience and information outside of University that makes them think they have answers. What this is Not, is well-grounded knowledge from decades of medical experience and maturity.
Thank you for your comment, and we apologize if you were offended by this information. You are absolutely correct that this was not intended to address severe forms of mitochondrial diseases, and we should have been clear about that. This was meant to address those living with conditions that may be improved by focusing on the basics of mitochondrial health. As Dr. Picard mentions, this is an emerging field that we are continuing to learn much more about. But by no means is this a cure all for everyone, Again, we apologize if our purpose was misleading.
I am going to follow up on a brief comment made by someone else, because I think it is so important. No mention of the effect of light on mitochondria. That is a great shame because light’s effect on mitochondria is very important. Circadian rhythm. Cytochrome C-Oxidase ANd the very important discovery that infra red light produces melatonin IN the Mitochondria. And melatonin is one of the most important endogenous anti-oxidants provided exactly where most ROS are generated.
19:45 life style choices we can do: diet. insecticides and pesticides which is poisons for mitochondria. psychological states can also affect the mitochondria for example psychological stress can trigger hyperglycemia, as cortisol goes to the liver which release glucose into the blood
Thanks so much. Can you invite an expert on to talk about exercise intolerance and post exercise malaise, please? I hear all the time exercise is the best way to increase mitochondria, but so many people crash after exercise.
I realized Mitochondria and their creb cycle are the key to our cellular lives. This is a basic function responsible for our human, plant, and animal life,
Near Infrared Radiation (can be from the Sun) reduces oxidative stress by supporting mitochondria and ATP production. NIR can penetrate to a depth of 8cm. Peer reviewed
Amazing information. Welcome to the 21st Century. This sounds like understanding the influence of our medications on our Mitochondria might help us to solve the root causes of our diseases.
I appreciate Dr. Picard's caution and concern with the use of medications not clearly understood by those prescribing them. It could be that they are only trying to treat the symptoms rather than focusing on what is causing the mitochondrial dysfunction in the first place, which is something we all can do by ourselves without medical intervention. @36:40, the doctor hit on the major cause of mitochondrial dysfunction, saying the amount of sugar overwhelms the mitochondria. I believe this is true and observable in a petri dish, but is it the quantity or the type of sugar, or both? Dr Lustig teaches that sugars consumed are absorbed differently at different stages of digestion. The initial sugar absorption is fructose, which goes directly to the liver, and that is where the damage is done. He teaches that a healthy digestive tract and biome is the key to cellular level health, and insoluble and soluble fiber is likely the easiest and most effective mechanism a person can take to preserve their mitochondrial health. As best I can describe, it works by preventing the early absorption of fructose by absorbing the sugars, which allows them to reach the lower part of the digestive tract where the good bacteria can feed on the glucose, expel the fructose, and disseminate the energy to all the cells in the body as designed. As well as the valuable information given by Dr. Picard in this video, Doctor Lustig has many videos on the subject with scientific data to back it up.
Do you have a link to more lectures from Dr Picard? I’m especially interested in the role melatonin within mitochondria. Thanks for a wonderfully interesting interview! - Audrey in Chicago

I'm totally on board with his findings and recommendations. I liked his discussion about medications and their effect on mitochondria although he steered clear of the covid vaccine.
I know that teaching conditions are incredibly challenging and that they don’t receive nearly enough resources and pay for what they do, however the issues with children discipline go both ways, imho. Adults need to learn how to talk to children just as much as children need to learn to speak to adults. As a psych RN that dealt with acute mental illness patients our communication skills are key to deescalation to the vast majority of potentially combative situations. These same skills need to be taught to teachers and used in classrooms. I saw a lot of these clear communication challenges between teachers & kids when my daughter was in school. Yes, this places more accountability in teachers but they’re the adults and these skills will go a long way in assisting teachers which will ultimately help kids and their parents.
Peter from Hyperlipid discussed this topic in relation to reactive oxygen species. Over feeding cells for sure. And it's effect on the cells. Very on point discussion. Eat more saturated fat instead of poly or mono. Poly and mono oils can break the "full" hormones and shove fat in for winter storage. Those are not as good for cell function. Fasting is my jam now. But it's only been better when on iodine. In general i can feel sluggish without. It takes a few days to kick in. But 10mg of it not 150mcg like the RDA. give it a try but go slow at first.
What a superb interview and acquirement of excellent knowledge at first hand! Thanks to both of you and especially to this unpretentious scientist named Dr Picard.
In regard to the experiments Dr. Picard mentioned in which mitochondrial networks within cultured cells became fragmented following an excessive supply of energy, it would be interesting to see this experiment repeated with variations in the type of energy source supplied (e.g., pure fat vs. pure carbs vs. fat and carbs in varying proportions) and with variations in the starting conditions of the cells (e.g., fat-adapted vs. not fat-adapted).
Capture your 10-year-olds’ attention by telling them about the resident aliens with their own DNA they received from their mothers and is the reason we could trace our ancestor to the first mother. I learned that mitochondria have their own DNA long after I learned about mitochondria and it’s still one of the most exciting thing I ever learned.
From memory the brain is 2% of Body weight, but uses 20% of the entire bodies Oxygen needs, ten times more than any other organ or tissue. At 62 I use a number of supplements and "Zone 2" exercise (I think) a combination of intense interval training along with Heavy weights 2-3 times per week, 1-2 long bike rides, 1-boxing session for coordination, 2-outdoor circuit sessions, with a group of middle aged men. After a major head injury 5.5 yrs ago, improving brain function-hopefully repairing the brain became a focus of mine. I've had significant improvement 95-99% better with improvement in energy...

There has been some studies on the effect of Near Infra Red light (the part of sunlight that gives you heat - about 700-80nM) helps to correct mitochondria dysfunction through melatonin production in the cell for combating Reactive Oxygen Species in the cell. NIR can penetrate into the body and reach into the cell just by being outside during daytime. Your views are solicited.
Thank you so very much for this informative video! Our loving Creator has gifted us/created us in such an unbelievably astounding way! Love, gratitude and loyalty towards our loving Creator, our Lord and Saviour Christ brings great benefits to our overall health and our overall happiness!!!
@brutalgeneric: thank you for your comment. That is actually helpful. I can easily obtain indirect sunlight. I live in the sunny southwest. I slather sunscreen on whenever I step outside. Perhaps in late afternoon going out without without the sunscreen for a walk would be an ideal way to get indirect sunlight. Very helpful tip.
What’s interesting the discussion on acquired impacts…..and the one you don’t mention is the physiology of oxygen delivery and to me the #1 healthy habit everyone can shift right now (day and night). The impact of voluntary and involuntary breathing influences ALL these things shared. Clinically I see this a lot as it relates to progression of disease and reversal to promoting health. Wanna chat about this in detail many don’t realize (most just talk about rate, and yet there is soooo much more than BPM)
I wonder if HIIT , sprinting and such has a different effect on mitochondrial supply from aerobic training ? If we look at long distance runners compared to 100 meter runners the muscle growth is very different . Even looking at 200 meter vs 100 meter runners displays a massive difference. It seems reasonable to me that loooooooong distance running id depleting your energy where as with sprinting you seem to be energised once you catch your breath. However I have inflicted Achilles tendonitis to on myself - mainly due to idiocy. I recommend lots of strength training of the Achilles area prior to sprinting . Especially if you are only young in your heart , mind and soul. ...... Rehab takes a long time weeks into months, but I can do Air Bike. No excuse.
I have had myoclonic epilepsy for 64 years. It's been pretty well controlled with meds. I have now developed thyroid nodules, one calcified. (Fortunately no cancer) I started having daily to almost daily auras with some seizures breaking through. Should I have my doctor check this thyroid/brain possible impact with these? Having Keppra doubled to control the seizures better, but then so many mental/mood side effects with that. It's always something in life. Just varies for each of us.
Eat meat. Salt and water. Nothing else. Go carni. See what happens. Plz don't think I'm nuts. Look It up. For brain health. For good improved healed metabolic health all the way around.
Ok now I’m curious if stretching might also increase mitochondria. The reason is that, when I stretch often and feel more limber, I find that my endurance seems to be a little greater. Stretching only directly before a workout doesn’t seem to have the same impact.
I really value my college physiology😊. And am thankful that there are no genetic issues in my kids and grandkids. We are all on organic foods, exercise, and avoid chemicals whenever possible. I would love to know how giving kids 90 vaccines is good for their mitochondria.
What was left out and not talked about , for the health of our mitochondria , is seed oils and how toxic they are for us and our mitochondria , they damage and kill our mitochondria, i hope in the future doctor picard will speak more about this .
Great point about the seed oils. For others replying to yoour comment.....Seeds are very beneficial for most in their whole food form, but very destructive when processed into oils. Pretty common knowledge amongst the good non-conventional doctors. :)
This is edging me toward lifestyle interventions as a prostate cancer management plan rather than taking aboard the arduous alternative. I'd subject myself to a clinical trial to test this approach.
Good question. Short of looking at them under a microscope (like Dr. Picard and his team do), I am not sure there is an easy test. Instead, we have to learn from the researchers and apply their techniques that have demonstrated mitochondrial benefits. Unfortunately, it's not something like blood sugar that is easy to measure.
If you can run, then maybe try to run a mile as fast as you can and see how you feel? If you cannot even finish the mile, you probably can use some mitochondria health improvement, I guess.
So grateful for the research presented here! As others do, I too research to improve health w/o extending dependence on phamaceuticals. Any new researchers with potentially actionable steps like those shown here are treasures to those who have psychotic symptoms. While a researcher and not a physician, the knowledge that research has gained is hope for diseases cruel and often hellish. Thank you. Please keep up the good fight!
This is really great! Now please, please list for me how to keep these other organelles healthy, I am so worried I have no idea how to deal with them: my ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes and I am particularly worried that I am not taking care of my endoplasmic reticulum.

I have been meditating for many, many decades, and have used visualization as well as breathing techniques in conjunction with adequate exercise, nutrition and healthy sleeping habits. I discovered visualization of healthy, long mitochondria is very essential to staying healthy and fit (I am 52). Concentrating on the digestive system, and the brain are essential if you want to increase your physical and mental health as well as draw positivity into your life. The key to spiritual, mental and physical well-being is recognizing and visualizing the same science that we obtain in the form of products and healthy regimens, and it shouldn't be left out. Visualization is the the missing puzzle piece to our completeness.
I agree with you. Our visualization nourishes our body.
I-theist?
Would you elaborate what do you mean by visualizing things?
@@akoaykilalamo Well, to visualize you need to look first at a structural form in your mind. For instance, breathing techniques start with thinking of your lungs as a paper bag, which you fill from the bottom up, then empty from the top down.
If you can find a good book on chakra cleansing, for instance, visualization of the chakras are at the heart of the procedure, as you imagine each chakra as an orb of a certain color, rotating in a certain direction. You can apply the same technique to any scientific information that you can give structural form in your mind to, in any way that suits your intuition. Open your mind to interpretation and the true meaning and definition of life will in turn open to you.
One of the best comments I’ve read in years.
God bless you sir.
I think there are 2 main things that hurt mitochondtia:
-burning glucose most or all of the time. This happens whenever you consume glucose, you know, carbs. Your body has to process consumed carbs before it can use fat.
-Eating and processing food constantly. Eat 1 or 2 low carb meals. Not 6 meals.
Be a fat burner producing ketones. Practice time restricted eating and extended fasting to induce autophagy to repair and rebuild mitochondria.
What to do to improve mitochondrial function start at 32 minutes
Thank you!!
Danke, mein Freund! // Estoy muy agradecido. // Tutto bene qui.
Thank you
Thank you for letting us all know!
Fantastic, thank you 👍 amazing about mental health affecting physical health good listening to you both
Interesting! My energy levels are often not too good, since my diet is not ideal and I do not take enough physical exercise. However, I have seen in my life many, many times that when I am suddenly able to fulfill my calling, I immediately feel energized and I forget about the tiredness.
I am completely together with you on that one
Do you have a daily weekly exercise routine? I walk 10-15mins before sleep.
Maybe more protein? They say we need 100 grams a day
If eating ketogenic it's possible you're lacking salt. Sodium, potassium and magnesium. Even after years keto I supplement ALL 3! I put redmonds real.salt and no salt for.potassium in every beverage i take (more in water), and take magnesium supplement at bed.
I take 5-7g od sodium, 5-7g potassium and 200mg magnesium biglycinate. I'm telling you as people supplement but often don't realize how little they take. I'd start with 3 to4g minimum and work up from there. Take magnesium baths or foot soaks too.
Many people also don't eat enough protein. The absolute minimum is 1.2g/kg body weight and aim up to 2.0g/kg if obese or over age of 50. This should be fatty meat on the bone with skin. Eat organs if you can intermittently. Eat varied sources and add seafood and fish. Leaner items like fish may require adding more fat to the meal. If losing weight vs maintaining requires a heavier fat approach to maintain and can be a lot. If you eat the fat coming on meat it makes it easier. Fry your meals in tallow, lard and butter. Eat eggs. Avoid all keto products and heavy use of nuts, dairy and sweeteners. Keep it super clean but pound the salts. I went from 8 weeks of keto flu to changing my brain fog and energy levels as I figured out the salt levels I required.😊
@@dana102083Dana, how do you decide how much sodium, potassium, and magnesium to take?
This is an absolutely wonderful explanation of mitochondria. Thank you. Please give us more!
Thank you! We are happy you enjoyed it.
Dr. Sarah Myhill and 2 other doctors came up with a blood test that measures ATP. I believe it is within the first five chapters of her book: The Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalomyolitis. It's an excellent book. I have had MECFS since March of 2017. Her book has helped me to improve to about 70 to 80 percent.
Thank you for this discussion. It is very necessary for us who have MECFS.
Also, Ron Davis from Stanford University has come up with
another blood test for MECFS back in 2019.
Thanks and God Bless for what you are doing!!!!
Miss Monique 🙂🙏🌷
Would you mind saying what has helped you most?
Supplements? Meds? Other stuff?
Ps great to hear that you have recovered well.
@@alicequayle4625 What has helped me the most is understanding the condition of MECFS and the methylation system.
Supplements that help the methylation system are: B12 plus Co-Q-10, D3 at the same time every morning. Also, I wash that down with a drink known as Emergen-C.
After breakfast I then take another supplement which is a combination of Acetyl- L- Carnitine and Alpha Lipoic Acid. All these supplements can be bought at Walmart. Since I can't swallow pills , the first three mentioned are gummies. I was taking D-Ribose for a time. That helps a lot, but it is very expensive at my vitamin store .
Another book by Dr. Teitelbaum is entitled From Fatigued to Fantastic. The acronym for his system is SHINE: s stands for sleep , h stands for hormones, I stands for....I don't remember, n stands for nutrition and e stands for exercise as able.
Both these books in combination should be the textbooks for all the doctor and the patients who have MECFS.
Another book that I find helpful is my Bible. I get great encouragement from the Scriptures. God is our Creator and God is our Healer.
Hope this helps. Spend the money on both books it's worth it.
There is no ,"cure" for MECFS....we all need to work on ourselves and do what is best for ourselves.
God Bless you and your family 💖🙏🌷💗🙂🙏 Miss Monique
Thank you for posting the name of these Doctors & especially the book. I was diagnosed with MECFS in 1992. (Back then, it was called Fibromyalgia)
@@lizrichard3137 Dr. Teitelbaum differentiates between MECFS and Fibromyalgia, and so does Dr. Myhill.

Molecular medicine is the forefront of all medicine today. Mitochondria are at the heart of this approach. Understanding the complex, synergistic actions and functions of the body is the key to optimum physical health. It is exciting to be part of this as I treat my own multiple myeloma without traditional radiation and chemotherapy. While doing the things that are suggested here I find that my mind is much stronger as well.
Glad you are trying to treat yourself without chemical ( mitochondrial ) poisoning .
However , the molecular medicine approach really has not much to do with the mitochondria . It is focussed on genes and proteins .
Molecular medicine is a good approach is you want to DAMAGE your mitochondria .
The powerhouse of the ... brain, immune system, emotional health, neurological health, cardiovascular health
For some reason you forgot the genitals... Just sayin

I'd add daily exposure to sunlight. Not burning, not tanning, just natural level on the skin sunlight. We're not designed to live indoors in cocoons.
Very honest information regarding how meds impact mitochondria but we dont know how they actually work and long term effects.
I would love to know how say a 3 day fast every so often affects our mitochondria.
Surely pharma meds longterm is a recipe for disease.
I like his theory on rebound unless we change we will keep getting what we get.
For me its sleeping well. Being active especially outdoors parks and forests and beach walks
Sunshine and swimming or relaxing in water. I like the not eating too much.
Great information look after the mitochondria if you want to stay well.
Really really interesting. I work as a diabetic eye screener, and I'm getting more and more interested in human biology. Both for my own benefit and the patients.
I eat one meal a day and keep satiated until the next day. I’m a ketovore eater. Has healed my body in many many ways. I wish more ppl cared about what they consume.😊
What is a ketovore?
@@shalomagape5457 adding certain low carb vegetables. Do a search for more details tho. I would also suggest looking at Dr. Ken Berry’s videos.
Maybe we consume what we can afford and that is not always what is good for us
Really interesting when talking about positive thought and mitochondrial health. I have stage 2 Emphysema and though I lack lung capacity, perhaps 60%, the combination of staying healthy and my state of mind helps my well-being. 1. I move every day, most days extend my capacity. 2. Eat healthy and miss meals. 3. Stay positive and active with creative pursuits. I'm 65, 75Kilo and fit
0:04: 🧬 Dr. Martin Picard discusses the importance of mitochondria in metabolic and mental health.
4:07: 🧠 Mitochondria are like the brain of the cell, involved in transforming energy and processing information.
9:35: 💡 Mitochondria transform energy from food and oxygen into different forms of energy, such as ATP, which powers human function and consciousness.
14:39: 💡 Metabolic dysfunction, including insulin resistance, can impact mitochondria and energy flow in the body.
19:53: 🔬 The video discusses acquired mitochondrial disorders and how they can be influenced by psychological states, chronic stress, early life adversity, diet, and exposure to insecticides and pesticides.
25:12: 💡 Communication between the brain and body is energetically demanding, and mitochondrial biology plays a crucial role in this energetic connection.
30:20: 🧠 Psychiatry should focus on short-term acute episodes of psychosis and explore alternative methods to target mitochondrial health for long-term treatment.
35:50: 🏃♂ Physical activity stimulates the production of more mitochondria, which can improve energy levels and overall health.
40:35: 🔑 Individualized medicine, moderation in eating, and positive psychological states can promote mitochondrial health.
45:15: 🧠 Feeling positive and having positive experiences can improve mitochondrial biology in immune cells and potentially in brain cells.
50:39: 🧠 The speaker believes that the current framework for understanding mental health is overhyped and disempowering, and suggests an alternative framework that respects individual differences.

'Mmmm--Aaazzzziiiinngg
Great conversation! I love the energy and excitement regarding mitochondria and getting a better understanding of them and our health.
The icing on the cake for me was the use of the word- Empowering at the end.
I have been saying for some time now- we are experiencing the end of the Disempowerment paradigm and it’s time to usher in the new Empowerment paradigm.
Thank you!
At 36.40 a very good simple explanation of the bad effects of food/energy overload beside just storing fat.
Thanks! Time stamps would b v good for this long video
Cancer begins when the mitochondria of a cell become so damaged they can't carry out oxidative phosphorylation, but instead of dying the cell manages to switch to the fermentation of glucose in the cytoplasm.
Or switch to glutamine.
methylene blue seems vital, fyi
And the body cannot control the growth. Some use ketones as well
@@dana102083 which ones?
Are you talking about anaerobic growth?
Not eating too much - particularly sugar, because mitochondria produce energy by aerobic respiration (another reason exercise helps biogeneis and maintain mitochondria health) but cancer uses sugar fermentation for energy through anaerobic respiration, even when in the presence of oxygen. Sugar is fine when used for energy, preferably complex carbs (sugar), but too much causes many problems beyond the scope here. Allowing a fasting state has many benefits, including triggering autophagy and mitophagy, which recycles damaged and bad mitochondria to make new ones that are healthy, before disease sets in.
This dude has fantastic energy.
(No pun intended. )
Excellent discussion on a topic very much a keen interest of mine for many years, though I am no longer in an academic environment myself. One point not addressed per se, despite some really great questions and answers by you two gentlemen, is that of the potential beneficial role of supplementation supportive of mito health, function, and biogenesis. In particular, PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone) holds outstanding beneficial potential, not alone of course but in conjunction with good nutrition, regular exercise, and yes, intermittent fasting as touched upon here. NMN (Nicotinamide MonoNucleotide) and/or NR (Nicotinamide Riboside, my preferred form) also seem to function synergistically with PQQ in this regard as well, fostering the NAD+/ATP cycle within mitochondria, again as adjuncts to the above lifestyle components. At just shy of 72, my own health & fitness, physically, physiologically, neurologically, cognitively, mentally/emotionally, interpersonally, etc has never been better, and I consider mito health central to the overall equation. Thanks for a terrific segment guys :)
Very interesting
Thanking you for sharing
Vaccines cause mitochondrial disease/ dysfunction. Not always born with it, it’s induced.
Meditation suggests simply observation of breadths and/or sensations all around and over the body. The benefits are profound, slow to appear and lasts on consistent practice.
Considerable time would be involved, so it's important to do it the right way and learn from the right school.
I tried visualization to no benefit. Now practice Vipassana; transformed my life.
1- move more. 2- eat less. 3- be happy, positive... which requires adequate sleep.
Thanks
What did I learn from this video? That we need more research on mitochondria.
Not necessarily eat less. Don't over-eat. Also, not mentioned here, mitochondria respond and multiple in brown adipose tissue when you submerge in those cold tanks like Joe Rogan has discussed.
Thank you 😂

This is about to become the number one health-related topic. This will put holistic medicine on top... We finally have good info on how to optimize mitochondrial wellness. Dave Asprey calls mitochondria centric within the vast field of bio-hacking and longevity potentials.

This video should have been titled: “How to maintain and enhance your healthy mitochondrial function.” It is very good information within those limits. What it should NOT be seen as, is any kind of therapy or solutions for those who are suffering from Mitochondrial Dysfunction or disease.
Those people suffering from chronic low functioning mitochondria don’t need to hear very young Doctors telling them- “To Move!” when their bodies won’t let them get out of a chair much of the time. And I mean at the level where they might only be able to get out of that chair if the house is on fire. Or to “Eat Less!” when every natural signal in their bodies is telling them they are in fact starving from lack of nutrition because of their resultant lack of energy. Or, “Find Some Way to Feel HAPPY!” when their lives are being ground into a fine dust of failure by their inability to function in an even vaguely normal way.
For those people- understand that what you have here are two very young doctors, giddy with their first real world experience and information outside of University that makes them think they have answers. What this is Not, is well-grounded knowledge from decades of medical experience and maturity.
Well said 👏
Thank you for your comment, and we apologize if you were offended by this information. You are absolutely correct that this was not intended to address severe forms of mitochondrial diseases, and we should have been clear about that. This was meant to address those living with conditions that may be improved by focusing on the basics of mitochondrial health. As Dr. Picard mentions, this is an emerging field that we are continuing to learn much more about. But by no means is this a cure all for everyone, Again, we apologize if our purpose was misleading.
@@metabolicmind everyone being offended by non mainstream ideas nearly got me killed.
@@trickcyclist1yes!!!!!!!!!!!
I need this lecture very much
I am going to follow up on a brief comment made by someone else, because I think it is so important. No mention of the effect of light on mitochondria. That is a great shame because light’s effect on mitochondria is very important. Circadian rhythm. Cytochrome C-Oxidase ANd the very important discovery that infra red light produces melatonin IN the Mitochondria. And melatonin is one of the most important endogenous anti-oxidants provided exactly where most ROS are generated.
19:45 life style choices we can do: diet. insecticides and pesticides which is poisons for mitochondria. psychological states can also affect the mitochondria for example psychological stress can trigger hyperglycemia, as cortisol goes to the liver which release glucose into the blood
Theres a whole machine with billions of moving parts that keeps us alive and moving. Forever amazing.
Thanks so much. Can you invite an expert on to talk about exercise intolerance and post exercise malaise, please? I hear all the time exercise is the best way to increase mitochondria, but so many people crash after exercise.
I second this and wish your comment were pinned.
Too much exercise makes me feel grumpy and tired.
Fascinating interview, especially about circulating energy.
Dr Pelz has videos that talk about what happens after different lengths of time when fasting.
I realized Mitochondria and their creb cycle are the key to our cellular lives. This is a basic function responsible for our human, plant, and animal life,

Amazing information. Welcome to the 21st Century. This sounds like understanding the influence of our medications on our Mitochondria might help us to solve the root causes of our diseases.
I appreciate Dr. Picard's caution and concern with the use of medications not clearly understood by those prescribing them. It could be that they are only trying to treat the symptoms rather than focusing on what is causing the mitochondrial dysfunction in the first place, which is something we all can do by ourselves without medical intervention. @36:40, the doctor hit on the major cause of mitochondrial dysfunction, saying the amount of sugar overwhelms the mitochondria. I believe this is true and observable in a petri dish, but is it the quantity or the type of sugar, or both? Dr Lustig teaches that sugars consumed are absorbed differently at different stages of digestion. The initial sugar absorption is fructose, which goes directly to the liver, and that is where the damage is done. He teaches that a healthy digestive tract and biome is the key to cellular level health, and insoluble and soluble fiber is likely the easiest and most effective mechanism a person can take to preserve their mitochondrial health. As best I can describe, it works by preventing the early absorption of fructose by absorbing the sugars, which allows them to reach the lower part of the digestive tract where the good bacteria can feed on the glucose, expel the fructose, and disseminate the energy to all the cells in the body as designed.
As well as the valuable information given by Dr. Picard in this video, Doctor Lustig has many videos on the subject with scientific data to back it up.
MOVEMENT, FASTING, POSITIVE THINKING, GOT IT :)😊 stress management and a positive attitude does seem to matter with longevity
So grateful for beautiful an important seminar!!!

Tips from Dr Picard:
1. Move! Exercise encourages your body to produce new mitochondria (up to 2x)
2. Don’t eat too much, it’s ok to be hungry - intermittent fasting is great for your mitochondria
3. A new idea being proposed is possibly your mental state can change your mitochondria (ie., do what you can to lead a life that makes you happy!)

I know that teaching conditions are incredibly challenging and that they don’t receive nearly enough resources and pay for what they do, however the issues with children discipline go both ways, imho. Adults need to learn how to talk to children just as much as children need to learn to speak to adults. As a psych RN that dealt with acute mental illness patients our communication skills are key to deescalation to the vast majority of potentially combative situations. These same skills need to be taught to teachers and used in classrooms. I saw a lot of these clear communication challenges between teachers & kids when my daughter was in school. Yes, this places more accountability in teachers but they’re the adults and these skills will go a long way in assisting teachers which will ultimately help kids and their parents.
Peter from Hyperlipid discussed this topic in relation to reactive oxygen species. Over feeding cells for sure. And it's effect on the cells. Very on point discussion. Eat more saturated fat instead of poly or mono. Poly and mono oils can break the "full" hormones and shove fat in for winter storage. Those are not as good for cell function. Fasting is my jam now. But it's only been better when on iodine. In general i can feel sluggish without. It takes a few days to kick in. But 10mg of it not 150mcg like the RDA. give it a try but go slow at first.
Thank you so much for such n inspiring discussion!
So informative! Life changing knowledge, literally!
Thank you! 🙏🤍🙏
What a superb interview and acquirement of excellent knowledge at first hand! Thanks to both of you and especially to this unpretentious scientist named Dr Picard.
In regard to the experiments Dr. Picard mentioned in which mitochondrial networks within cultured cells became fragmented following an excessive supply of energy, it would be interesting to see this experiment repeated with variations in the type of energy source supplied (e.g., pure fat vs. pure carbs vs. fat and carbs in varying proportions) and with variations in the starting conditions of the cells (e.g., fat-adapted vs. not fat-adapted).

Capture your 10-year-olds’ attention by telling them about the resident aliens with their own DNA they received from their mothers and is the reason we could trace our ancestor to the first mother.

From memory the brain is 2% of Body weight, but uses 20% of the entire bodies Oxygen needs, ten times more than any other organ or tissue. At 62 I use a number of supplements and "Zone 2" exercise (I think) a combination of intense interval training along with Heavy weights 2-3 times per week, 1-2 long bike rides, 1-boxing session for coordination, 2-outdoor circuit sessions, with a group of middle aged men. After a major head injury 5.5 yrs ago, improving brain function-hopefully repairing the brain became a focus of mine. I've had significant improvement 95-99% better with improvement in energy...

I wonder if HIIT , sprinting and such has a different effect on mitochondrial supply from aerobic training ? If we look at long distance runners compared to 100 meter runners the muscle growth is very different . Even looking at 200 meter vs 100 meter runners displays a massive difference. It seems reasonable to me that loooooooong distance running id depleting your energy where as with sprinting you seem to be energised once you catch your breath.
However I have inflicted Achilles tendonitis to on myself - mainly due to idiocy. I recommend lots of strength training of the Achilles area prior to sprinting . Especially if you are only young in your heart , mind and soul. ......

How do you test for mitochondria health?
Good question. Short of looking at them under a microscope (like Dr. Picard and his team do), I am not sure there is an easy test. Instead, we have to learn from the researchers and apply their techniques that have demonstrated mitochondrial benefits. Unfortunately, it's not something like blood sugar that is easy to measure.
