Mitochondria, Minerals, and Aging

Why mineral balancing is critical to mitochondrial health and longevity

Getting old is hard.

Believe me, I see people struggling with it every single day.

That's why I am so passionate about anti-aging medicine.

If you want to avoid aging and optimize your vitality, then I recommend that you tune into an upcoming summit that I will be featured in.

The Defy Aging Summit starts today!

My talk is on the importance of minerals to proper mitochondrial function and energy generation.

Here’s a quick story about how minerals can change your life, by saving your mitochondria.

Louis came to me with fatigue.

He’d already done a ton of lab testing, but it hadn’t cracked his case.

We ran blood mineral levels.

Zinc and copper were low, and iron and mercury were high.

Why is this such a big deal?

Excess iron and mercury create massive oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress wrecks your mitochondria.

Your mitochondria use copper to run electron chain transport, and you need zinc to translate the proteins that make the proteins that hold the copper within that chain.

In other words, you can’t make mitochondria or run mitochondria without zinc and copper.

Add in toxic doses of iron and mercury to hammer the mitochondria you have left, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for fatigue, premature aging, disability, and death.

What did we do?

He donated blood.

He ate a diet rich in copper and zinc, and supplemented both for a limited period of time.

And you know what?

He’s feeling better than ever.

Apply for a consultation with me or a member of my team if you would like to get your minerals checked.

Until next time, be well,
