I called my 90 year old mother yesterday to wish her Happy Easter and spent about a half hour thanking her for giving me her mitochondria (all your mitochondria come from your mother), her intelligence, and her ability to know things.

I was NEVER fooled by the bullshit that drinking alcohol 1-3 drinks a day was good for your health. It isn’t.

I was fooled exactly ONCE by all the so-called experts into trying metformin after hearing it touted by everyone I talked to.

Metformin damages your mitochondria. You’d have to be a moron to think that you should take anything that damages mitochondria.

At the time I tried metformin I was running every day with a heart rate monitor at OrangeTheory Fitness and had gotten my base pace running speed down from 12 minutes per mile to six minutes per mile. I took metformin and it killed my mitochondria, slowing me to a base pace of eight minutes per mile.

One way to know if someone is a fake is if they recommend metformin for life extension without warning you about the potential negative impact on your mitochondria.

Not everyone is blessed enough to get world class mitochondria from their mothers, but the least you can do is not take anything that might damage your cellular power plants.
