The romanticized notion that humans are "born to run" has buoyed the so-called running boom of the past 50 years: well-intentioned fitness enthusiasts lacing up their cushioned shoes and plodding down roads and trails in pursuit of the runner's high, a trim physique, and the fountain of youth. Unfortunately, "born to run" is a big, fat ruse—a marketing gimmick and a gross misappropriation of evolutionary biology's insights into Homo sapiens' genetic attributes for endurance. While any movement away from a sedentary-dominant lifestyle is laudable, the truth is that humans are actually born to walk, not run. Ready to get fitter, leaner, and stronger than ever without the pain, suffering, and sacrifice of the typical approach to endurance training?

I recently discovered that there is actually an accurate method of figuring out how healthy your mitochondria are. It's called "mescreen," and it is based on groundbreaking research that allows you to assess mitochondrial function through a simple at-home blood test. Mescreen decodes your cellular performance to unlock the peak potential for optimal living. This is more than guesswork, it's the first-of-its-kind, precision pathway to discover your vitality based on your mitochondrial efficiency. Dr. Hemal Patel, my guest on this show, is a tenured professor and vice-chair for research in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of California, San Diego, and has a dual appointment as a VA research career scientist and VA research pharmacologist at the VA San Diego Healthcare System. He is also the chief scientific advisor for Verséa Discovery (the creators of mescreen). He obtained his Ph.D. in pharmacology and toxicology from the Medical College of Wisconsin and did postdoctoral work at UCSD in the Department of Pharmacology under Paul Insel (2002–2005). He has made seminal contributions in shaping new investigation areas on defining the impact of membrane structure on cell, organ, and organismal physiology and metabolism with implications for cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart failure, diabetic cardiomyopathy, aging, pulmonary hypertension, cancer, and neurodegeneration. His focus on energetics in cell biology touches upon all these and is a control point for managing and empowering human health resilience.
