Mitochondrial efficiency declines with age, impacting organ function and physical activity.

“if in fact with the theory of mitochondrial aging that we're having a decrease in the efficiency of the mitochondria as we get older if there is something that we can do to reverse that or to at least prevent that from happening that can have a tremendous impact in our health overall”

“mitochondria are very important and they play a lot of roles in the body but one of the most important ones is the production of energy in the form of ATP this is obviously very important for muscles but also hugely important for the brain um the heart the liver pretty much every organ athletes are very interested in mitochondrial health because they want their muscles to efficiently and effectively produce energy when they're training but mitochondria are also very important in the context of Aging as we age our mitochondria become less efficient at producing energy and this poses a problem for physical activity but also just for normal functioning of our organs”
