The Science of Mitochondrial Health

We translate complex mitochondrial science into clear, actionable insights that transform human health and longevity. No more guessing - discover exactly what your mitochondria need to thrive. 

You’re about to target the systems that actually run your life.

Here is an overview of what we do.

Food is broken down into molecules such as amino acids, fatty acids, pyruvate, and ketone bodies that provide usable energy. These enter the mitochondria and are primarily converted to acetate, which is joined to coenzyme A (CoA) a derivative of the B vitamin pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), to form acetyl CoA. This acetyl CoA then enters the citric acid cycle, where the acetyl group is broken down into smaller components. Most of the usable energy is extracted as high-energy electrons that are carried away on NADH, a derivative of the B vitamin niacin (vitamin B3), which delivers them to complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.

The first step of the citric acid cycle is performed by the enzyme citrate synthase.

‍A portion of the high-energy electrons are sent to the respiratory chain as succinate, which delivers them to complex II, becoming fumarate with the help of FAD, a derivative of the B vitamin riboflavin (vitamin B2) which transfers them within complex II by interconverting with FADH2. The carbons of the acetyl group are released as carbon dioxide The respiratory chain is where we make 90% of our ATP, the main energy currency of the cell. We breathe in oxygen from the air, which draws electrons through the chain as it is converted to water. Electrons flow from complex I or II through complexes III and IV, using coenzyme Q10 (Q) and cytochrome C (C) as intermediaries. Complexes I, III, and IV use this energy to pump hydrogen ions (H+), which are used by ATP synthase to power ATP production.

Your mitochondria influence every aspect of your health - from cellular energy production to cognitive function, from physical performance to longevity.

Through advanced analysis of your unique mitochondrial pattern, we’ve found that there are over 1,500 distinct ways to optimize your cellular function. This unprecedented level of precision allows us to enhance your body's performance at its very foundation.

Advanced technology

We measure actual mitochondrial function across enzymes fueled by 297 genes, identifying your unique pattern among 12 distinct types.

This breakthrough analysis reveals targeted interventions that enhance your cellular efficiency at its source, optimizing your body's fundamental processes through precise measurement of respiratory chain complexes.

‍This precise analysis allows us to map optimization opportunities across critical biological systems:

Precision Longevity Starts Here

With hundreds of proteins influencing mitochondrial health, our 5-core respiratory chain markers offer a direct line to targeted, personalized strategies that go far beyond guesswork. Based on your results, we uncover:

  • Whether your metabolism thrives on high-carb or high-fat—identifying which macronutrients flow through your optimal energy pathways
  • If iron status is limiting your mitochondrial function
  • Whether CoQ10 will enhance or inhibit your cellular energy production
  • If high-intensity interval training aligns with your mitochondrial capacity
  • Your candidacy for advanced compounds like methylene blue
  • Which supplements will specifically support or hinder your energy systems
  • The most powerful, personalized optimizers for your unique mitochondrial function

This level of cellular precision is unmatched in longevity and represents the only scientifically validated approach to directly improve mitochondrial health, the cornerstone of biological aging. 

By addressing these specific pathways, you're targeting the fundamental processes that determine not just how you feel today, but your trajectory of aging for decades to come.

‍You're not just improving your health. You're launching a cellular revolution.
