Angela presents a bitesize featuring Dr. Stephen Gundry, a renowned cardiologist and author, focussing upon mitochondrial uncoupling, a fascinating process that can turbocharge metabolism and aid in weight loss. Dr. Gundry explains how mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells, generate energy through the coupling of oxygen and protons.

"Believe it or not, the best way to keep your mitochondrial healthy is to uncouple them."

"We reduce the work of each mitochondria, but because mitochondria have their own DNA, they can divide and make more mitochondria within a cell without the cell dividing."

"And then you start looking at some of the blue zones, and it turns out that the food that these blue zones eat our foods that hopefully we'll talk about are really good at uncoupling mitochondria."

"There's a theory of aging called the cost of living hypothesis. And it's quite a nice theory. And that says the higher your metabolic rate, the shorter your lifespan."
