#200 - Energy capacity reflects cellular functioning | Dr. Molly Maloof & Dr. Lauren Kelley-Chew

We can think of our energy capacity as like the currency in our bank accounts that helps support us. Low energy capacity is an indicator of mitochondrial dysfunction—the decline in in how well our cells produce and use energy. It can lead to chronic disease. Dr. Molly Maloof and Dr. Lauren Kelley-Chew discuss how to optimize mitochondrial functioning for better overall health and well-being to prevent disease processes.
