Hi Neighbor!
It seems the voices of pessimism are louder than those of optimism.

This is especially notable in medical and pharmaceutical research.
Now, because of AI, the pace of potential medical innovation is accelerating exponentially. This is especially noteworthy in drug development. But other specialties have potential to make medical treatment more targeted with fewer side effects and most importantly, more effective. READ MORE

The Longevity Movement Series:
Mitochondrial Enhancement Part 1
Our first part of our next series on mitochondrial enhancement shall focus first on What are Mitochondria? And What exactly do they do to keep me young, healthy & vibrant? To examine this further, we need to go back in time about 2 billion years ago when one primitive organism engulfed another primitive bacterial organism and form a symbiotic relationship that lasts to this day!
Mitochondria are the engine rooms of our cells taking things like sugars and fatty acids and turning them into cell fuel called ATP. The more efficient this process is the better our cells and our bodies are fueled. The less efficient this process is, the more inflammatory signaling is generated, propagating inflammation, and accelerating the aging process within.
Our focus over the next few months will be on mitochondrial targeted nutrients that focus on optimize this mission critical ATP generation process. So, get ready to blast.
