Cellular Health and Mitochondria: Foundations

About this course
Energy is not stored. It is made moment to moment, in the tissues spending it, and nothing on a routine panel measures the making.
You will meet the engine itself: why fatigue can outlast every normal result, why the sparks cells produce are signals long before they are damage, how the body’s clearing and rebuilding programmes are switched on, why a film two molecules thick decides what a cell’s biochemistry can do, and why the quality of mitochondria matters more than the number of them.
Six readings, each with a short check. Free, and yours to take in any order.
