The Role of Mitochondria in Energy Production & How to Supercharge Them
Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of our cells, but a better analogy is that they are tiny engines inside each cell. These engines burn fuel—primarily glucose and fat—to create energy in the form of ATP, which powers everything from muscle movement to brain function. When mitochondrial function declines, it’s like running on a weak engine—your body slows down, energy is scarce, and metabolism suffers.
