Summary

The book has information for patients and practitioners on optimizing mitochondrial function for greater health and longevity.

Why do we age? Why does cancer develop? What's the connection between heart failure and Alzheimer's disease or infertility and hearing loss? Can we extend lifespan, and if so, how? What is the exercise paradox? Why do antioxidant supplements sometimes do more harm than good? Many will be amazed to learn that all these questions, and many more, can be answered by a single point of discussion: mitochondria and bioenergetics.

In Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine, naturopathic doctor Lee Know tells the epic story of mitochondria - the widely misunderstood and often-overlooked powerhouses of our cells. The legendary saga began over two billion years ago, when one bacterium entered another without being digested, which would evolve to create the first mitochondrion. Since then, for life to exist beyond single-celled bacteria, it's the mitochondria that have been responsible for this life-giving energy. By understanding how our mitochondria work, in fact, it is possible to add years to our lives, and life to our years.

Current research, however, has revealed a dark side: many seemingly disconnected degenerative diseases have tangled roots in dysfunctional mitochondria. However, modern research has also endowed us with the knowledge on how to optimize its function, which is of critical importance to our health and longevity. 

Lee Know offers cutting-edge information on supplementation and lifestyle changes for mitochondrial optimization, such as CoQ10, D-Ribose, cannabinoids, and ketogenic dietary therapy and how to implement their use successfully. 

Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine is an invaluable resource for practitioners interested in mitochondrial medicine and the true roots of chronic illness and disease as well as anyone interested in optimizing their health.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Heavy going

I really paid close attention, but coming to it as a layman I really struggled to follow what was being said. ATCs, PPQs ETCs. It was all beyond me and difficult to pick up, learn and retain. Is that the fault of me or the book? I don’t know, but if you are having trouble sleeping, this may help.

Hard work

20% interesting information, 80% in-depth biology and chemistry that was so far beyond my ability to comprehend it was essentially meaningless.

Absolutely Fascinating even for a layman

The first book I played twice since joining Audible, firstly because the content is quite complex but equally it puts a fascinatingly different perspective on common diseases, longevity, weight loss and more...

Thoroughly recommend for anyone interested in the next era of medical science!

Listen to it all - it all links in; mind blowing & cutting edge

Very scientific and detailed but the payback later on is beyond expectations - can’t recommend this book enough, but be warned it’s at an advanced level and the rewards exceed everything you know. The detail makes understanding the new advances and it’s truly groundbreaking. A brilliant book.

Not suitable as an audio book

Overall very good and detailed information. This is not a book though for casual readning, but rather as a students literature or encyclopedia. I had to rewind constantly in order to understand the whole picture, very stressful.

Enjoyed listening to this book

This book was fascinating and covered all aspects of the mitochondria of life. It was hard going at the start because of the amount of technological information given about the subject. I will re listen to this book but will look at the pdf at the same time.

Totally absorbing

A truly in-depth look into the very midst of cellular activity and life maintenance. A lot of this knowledge will inform my actions going forward.
