The Five Laws of Mitochondrial Health
The piece presents five philosophical laws for mitochondrial health, urging readers to start with mitochondria, put food before pharmaceuticals, avoid technology that replaces natural exposures, recognize personal needs, and adapt as those needs shift. It argues that cellular energy output is the core driver of health and disease, and that food leverages the body’s immense complexity far better than drugs.
