The Health Upgrade Podcast

Welcome back to another episode of the Health Upgrade Podcast!

Today, we dive deep into the complexities of cellular energy production, focusing on the essential role of the mitochondria. We explain how the citric acid cycle breaks down sugars into energy, generating ATP—the powerhouse that fuels our cells. However, when mitochondria fail to function properly, it leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species, causing cellular dysfunction and increasing the risk of cancer.

The discussion also explores the intriguing interplay between genetic mutations and metabolic disruptions in cancer development. JP sheds light on how mitochondrial dysfunction can unlock previously inactive genes, contributing to unregulated cell growth and potential cancer formation. Navaz highlights the importance of regulatory mechanisms, including the ketogenic diet and fasting, to maintain cellular health and prevent oxidative stress.


Don't miss this enlightening episode packed with insights into the intricate relationship between cellular health and cancer. Tune in to discover cutting-edge theories and practical tips for optimizing mitochondrial function and preventing disease.
