Unlocking the Power of MOT-C: Why Supercharging Your Mitochondria is Key to Optimal Health and Performance, Just Like a Ferrari Purosangue

0:00 okay so JD here and today we're going to 0:03 be talking about 0:05 mitochondria and mitochondria are the 0:10 PowerHouse of your cells right they 0:14 deliver high levels of solar energy to 0:16 power your mind body and psyche okay and 0:20 so what's interesting is we get a lot of 0:21 questions recently about hey like what 0:24 what do you mean by one economy 0:25 signaling and so today we're going to 0:26 talk about 0:28 the role of mitochondria how to kind of 0:31 turbocharge these little tiny blast 0:33 furnaces right and you know how we can 0:36 Revitalize them right and so 0:39 effectively you kind of have to start 0:40 from the top right 0:43 if you think about it you know 0:46 you know Eastern medicine refers to 0:49 something called Prana the Chinese 0:51 called life force Qi right and you know 0:54 it what it is is like if you think about 0:56 it from a sense of a cellular standpoint 0:59 every cell in your body has to have a 1:01 fresh Supply 1:02 of energy right in order to thrive right 1:04 and so you know if you think about it 1:07 the quality of our life is really 1:09 determined by our emotions 1:11 if you are incredibly successful 1:14 super wealthy and you're angry all the 1:16 time your life is anger 1:18 if you got you know children for example 1:21 and you're worried about their future 1:23 worry about you know being there for 1:25 your grandkids your life is anxiety and 1:26 worry 1:27 but emotions don't really exist in 1:29 isolation like they're really heavily 1:31 influenced by physiology and by your 1:34 energy and so when you're in a low 1:37 energy state 1:38 that has a high correlation with 1:39 negative emotions and so just think 1:41 about it right like when you have a bad 1:43 night of sleep terrible quality of sleep 1:46 right that's a low energy State and the 1:49 flip side is higher energy 1:52 can spark positive emotions right as far 1:54 as I know and in my observation and and 1:56 if you know when I feel like I'm rested 1:58 and calm a lot more hopeful and 2:01 confident and I think that the biggest 2:04 piece here is your your energy is really 2:06 determined by a few factors right so we 2:09 can talk about it from a universal 2:11 standpoint of the trillion or so living 2:14 cells right it's like the fundamental 2:16 units of tissue and organ and systems in 2:19 your body and kind of putting it all 2:21 together the quality of our life is the 2:23 quality of life for ourselves 2:25 right and so when our cells are healthy 2:27 and strong we're fully alive when our 2:29 cells in our equilibrium right or with 2:32 the science refer scientists refer it as 2:33 like homeostasis second stability our 2:35 emotional life will be balanced as well 2:37 and so we need kind of high levels of 2:39 cellular energy to to thrive across our 2:42 mind our body our spirit psyche 2:43 motivation and so you know that leads to 2:47 the next point of people with fast or 2:49 slow metabolism right our bodies are 2:51 really motored and powered by a few 2:53 metabolic pathways right and so uh you 2:56 know how they work just really simply 2:58 like when they convert a chemical or a 3:00 substance into another they regulate 3:02 everything from our hormones to our 3:03 sleep cycle to our immune system of 3:05 systems right but when we think of 3:07 metabolism it's like hey like the most 3:09 critical one is like it's like glucose 3:11 right so your body's ability to manage 3:13 sugar and so the ability to convert 3:16 carbs carbohydrates and sugars and 3:18 energy that lies into our mitochondria 3:22 and mitochondria the best way to think 3:24 about it is like these are tiny flask 3:25 around furnaces that keep us powering 3:27 through our days right kind of like life 3:29 force generators and so if you have 3:30 young kids right there like 3:33 like high energy they're running all 3:35 over the place they're turbocharged 3:36 right why uh the rhinocondria are a full 3:38 blast of redlining every day and you 3:42 know it's um 3:43 Studies have shown that like there's a 3:45 high correlation right with the 3:47 mitochondria and energy 3:49 um and the feeling of Yelp being young 3:51 and perhaps uh you know when people get 3:54 older like the clients they feel right 3:55 and so think about it in the words of 3:58 it's like the fuel that powers uh each 4:00 and every cell in our body right and 4:03 their biggest job really is to import 4:04 nutrients break them down and kind of 4:06 turn them into complex molecules called 4:07 ATP right ATP like you need ATP to exert 4:11 a muscle uh feel hot or cold digest 4:14 nutrients eliminate waste like that it's 4:16 basically there for everything right and 4:18 you know the higher the animal on the 4:21 evolutionary scale we're not talking 4:22 apex predators but like however they are 4:24 right the more energy larger there are 4:26 more ATP and eases arrived so if you're 4:29 my Contour or weak if they're kind of 4:32 age you know there is less ADP less ATV 4:36 you know there's no way and so our 4:39 species really can last a few weeks 4:42 without food we can you know or we can 4:44 go a few days three days three days 4:46 three days or so without water uh but 4:48 you know what's interesting is just 4:50 three minutes with that option with some 4:52 people right 4:53 or three or five minutes or you know no 4:56 oxygen can lead to hypoxia and that 4:58 damages the brain because oxygen is 5:01 really needed to burn the glucose in our 5:03 mitochondria and produce ATP right and 5:06 so it's kind of a side point here is 5:08 that cyanide is so lethal because it 5:10 targets the mitochondria and blocks them 5:12 from using and uh you know manufacturing 5:15 TP and using oxygen manufacturing ntp 5:17 what's crazy is a tiny amount 5:20 less than a drop can kill a person in 30 5:22 seconds or less right and so really uh 5:26 mitochondria is kind of like if we can 5:28 figure out how to kind of promote them 5:30 amplify them and really kind of decipher 5:33 the hell of them right 5:35 it really can have a high correlation 5:37 with our health span and Longevity right 5:39 and so 5:41 um you know and if you think about kind 5:42 of high school biology you think about 5:44 mitochondrials these like Mindless 5:45 energy generators taking carbs and fats 5:47 and pump out solar energy and from ATP 5:49 right but the in recent years um you 5:52 know there's some studies from the 5:53 interfere Studio California San Diego 5:55 that mitochondria I'll have kind of like 5:57 a second role as like sensors right the 5:59 canaries the coal mines that Drop Like 6:01 These just Mindless energy generators 6:03 but there actually are energy Regulators 6:04 so they're deciding whether or not they 6:06 should be energy mode or they should be 6:07 in defense mode and so they're kind of 6:08 sensing various threats or stressors 6:10 and they're kind of designed to respond 6:13 by turning down energy production or 6:15 shifting resources towards Cellular 6:16 Defense so it's like uh you know 6:18 hypothetically hey look let's let's give 6:20 a good example right and I say this to 6:21 illustrate a point if we were in a war 6:23 zone right now there was attacking the 6:24 street the insurgents are attacking they 6:26 got poison gas outside our home in the 6:28 streets it'd be a terrible mistake to go 6:29 hey let's open all the windows and get 6:30 fresh air with this poison gas outside 6:31 and go for a walk the rain response when 6:33 you're attacks is still a window so the 6:35 door stay inside lock yourself in and 6:36 that's kind of like what our cells do 6:37 when they're under attack when they show 6:38 that energy mode towards defense mode 6:39 right 6:41 um and your energy level is really a 6:43 reflection to the degree like of what 6:44 mitochondria are sensing when they're 6:46 under attack and shifting themselves out 6:47 of energy mode so 6:48 you know the consequences of forcing 6:50 your mitochondria in and out of energy 6:52 mode and under attack it's really 6:53 designed kind of evolutionary just to 6:56 protect that against those shifts right 6:58 against maybe mole toxins or or you know 7:01 product against uh severe weight loss 7:03 like rapid weight loss or endocrine 7:06 disruptors right pesticides all these 7:08 kind of environmental issues that are 7:10 microplastics for example that can be 7:11 large or fat tissue right and so they 7:14 really kind of want to shut themselves 7:15 down and chill them from exposure right 7:17 so I think really what's interesting is 7:19 like how to really kind of research ways 7:21 to turbocharge it right and there are a 7:23 few supplements NAD plus nmn and 7:26 Resveratrol we'll cover them in a 7:29 separate video 7:30 um in Therapeutics right like metformin 7:32 and Matzi and so that form is 7:35 interesting because it it's a kind of 7:36 like internet fasting and um somewhere 7:38 to and Tessa exercise it stress this is 7:40 the mitochondria right so it throws it 7:42 the body down into hunker down kind of 7:44 repair mode and it really involves our 7:46 liver gut muscle cells and lowers blood 7:48 sugar right so critical factor for 7:50 anti-aging so as opposed to insulin or 7:53 other diabetes medications it won't like 7:55 force your body into something called 7:57 hypoglycemia so low blood sugar which is 7:59 can be a dangerous condition at certain 8:01 levels and so if your level is already 8:03 blood sugar h1b1c is already healthy to 8:05 begin with metformin will keep it that 8:07 way right and it's widely been studied 8:09 for decades now and there are some 8:11 studies that show that may reduce cancer 8:12 risk mortality and really kind of uh to 8:16 understand tumors for a long colon 8:17 pancreas and and breasts right and so 8:19 there's some studies at mayor Cancer 8:20 Center at will Cornell Medical College 8:23 indicate that my former may have saved 8:25 people for more cancer deaths on any 8:27 drug in history right Matzi is a really 8:29 uh kind of interesting in that it's a 8:32 mitochondrial peptide that really is you 8:35 know geared at 8:37 longevity Health span and it's a it's a 8:39 metabolic regulator right so it 8:41 decreases kind of age diseases and 8:44 they call it like an exercise of medic 8:46 what does that mean fancy speak for what 8:48 exercise in a bottle right and it has 8:51 kind of some activation of something 8:53 called the mpk pathway which mimics what 8:56 happens when you exercise and work out 8:57 so some of our clients use it when 8:59 they're traveling uh quite a bit to 9:01 preserve their gains so they and so if 9:02 they can't work out as much they're 9:04 eating poorly they use it and then what 9:06 they've noticed uh anecdotally and this 9:07 is not scientific this is not backed by 9:09 thousands of studies but what we've 9:11 noticed in our client base is that they 9:12 can't preserved gains when they're on 9:14 the road quite a bit we've noticed that 9:16 our endurance athlete cohort they've 9:17 been able to kind of improve their 9:19 cardiovascular endurance super 9:21 interesting 9:22 um and you know monsie is kind of 9:24 interesting because it plays a role of 9:25 um 9:26 you know what regard to promoting 9:28 cellular energy stability right and so 9:30 uh when you think about kind of the 9:33 monochondrial peptide another condition 9:35 that we've observed that it helps out 9:37 with this chronic fatigue there are many 9:39 root causes of Cargo Fatigue so we can't 9:42 say that it is the one you know 9:44 assessments all solution however we have 9:46 noticed uh you know we have had some 9:48 tremendous results with people that had 9:50 faced with a chronic fatigue right 9:52 um and so you know really it's a very 9:55 interesting therapeutic more research 9:56 will be done on that and it is available 9:59 uh you know um as a is a peptide rate so 10:03 another kind of cool piece 10:05 cryotherapy and what school by 10:08 carotherapy beyond the cold 10:10 is from a minor chondrial standpoint it 10:13 improves the proliferation of cells and 10:16 skeletal tissue so beyond Wim Hof we're 10:20 huge fans of his breath work practices 10:23 and 10:25 the fact that cold can improve kind of 10:29 search ruin activity as well right 10:31 improve your mood and cognition right 10:33 they're really cool facets of 10:34 carotherapy and we really need to do 10:36 some more research here and that leads 10:37 to my next point so what does data say 10:39 right and so everything we we talk about 10:41 has to be looked at from a clinical from 10:44 some observations from our our clients 10:47 along with kind of rooted in science 10:49 right and so I want to kind of share 10:51 some studies that we've seen talking 10:53 about 10:54 NAD for example and what was kind of 10:57 cool about this 10:58 is a correlation of NAD and a 11:00 mitochondrial function right and the 11:03 fact that uh there are some some 11:05 precursors so what it protects from 11:06 effectively the muscles breaking down 11:08 and it also protects against the loss of 11:12 stem cells muscle stem cells right and 11:13 so there is a correlation detects the 11:15 length extension in certain animals 11:17 right let's talk about mods C right and 11:21 so early Innings on certain studies 11:25 however it has kind of shown 11:28 um you know some correlation to 11:30 getting fit getting leaner promoting 11:33 your body's ability to to process blood 11:35 sugar right and it's uh very interesting 11:38 in the sense of the fact that uh it 11:41 starts to kind of upregulating right at 11:43 the cellular level so more studies kind 11:45 of are confirming the power of mod C 11:48 okay there's another study here that 11:51 talks about again uh the fact that there 11:53 is a kind of exercise in a beta on a 11:55 bottle like a medic type 11:58 uh you know Factor associated with motzi 12:01 right and so if there are kind of 12:05 regular you know implications and 12:06 regulation of obesity and diabetes and 12:08 accessories and Longevity right this 12:10 could be a very cool therapy from 12:13 enhancing in turbocharging your 12:15 mitochondrial Health okay and then this 12:19 study here shows that there is a 12:21 correlation 12:22 between aging and mitochondrial right so 12:26 cellular aging inflammation and decline 12:29 in stem cell activity very interesting 12:31 right and so when you think about 12:32 mitochondrial Health really what we're 12:34 trying to drive for is we want to have 12:36 high levels of cellular energy right so 12:39 your whole quality of life your lifespan 12:41 your health span is impacted Mind Body 12:42 psyche motivation right so I hope that 12:45 helps with regard to our understanding 12:47 of mitochondria health and it is ever 12:50 evolving and there are so many different 12:52 therapies and supplements and ways to 12:54 improve it JD with Dr Ryan's office I 12:56 will talk to you all soon
