Why does cancer develop? What’s the connection between heart failure and Alzheimer’s disease, or infertility and hearing loss? Can we extend lifespan, and if so, how? What is the Exercise Paradox? Why do antioxidant supplements sometimes do more harm than good? Many will be amazed to learn that all these questions, and many more, can be answered by a single point of discussion: mitochondria and bioenergetics. In Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine , Naturopathic Doctor Lee Know tells the epic story of mitochondria, the widely misunderstood and often-overlooked powerhouses of our cells. The legendary saga began over two billion years ago, when one bacterium entered another without being digested, which would evolve to create the first mitochondrion. Since then, for life to exist beyond single-celled bacteria, it’s the mitochondria that have been responsible for this life-giving energy. By understanding how our mitochondria work, in fact, it is possible to add years to our lives, and life to our years. Current research, however, has revealed a dark side: many seemingly disconnected degenerative diseases have tangled roots in dysfunctional mitochondria. However, modern research has also endowed us with the knowledge on how to optimize its function, which is of critical importance to our health and longevity. Dr. Know offers cutting-edge information on supplementation and lifestyle changes for mitochondrial optimization and how to implement their use successfully, including: CoQ10 D-Ribose Cannabinoids Ketogenic dietary therapy and more! Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine is an invaluable resource for practitioners interested in mitochondrial medicine and the true roots of chronic illness and disease, as well as anyone interested in optimizing their health. “Dr. Lee Know does a brilliant job shedding light on this once ignored organelle and shows us how to care for our most important metabolic system.”—Dr. Nasha Winters, co-author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 6 x 0.77 x 8.98 inches | | Edition | 1st | | Isbn 10 | 1603587675 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1603587679 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print Length | 272 pages | | Publication Date | February 13, 2018 | | Publisher | Chelsea Green | ## Images ![Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine: The Key to Understanding Disease, Chronic Illness, Aging, and Life Itself - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81V0GOp98QL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic book! *by on Reviewed in the United States June 14, 2026* If I could give this book fifty stars, I would! This body nerd loved the deep dive into the workings of our mitochondria. The author did a terrific job of explaining things in enough detail without losing the reader and without getting too bogged down (a fine line to walk, as we are talking about mitochondria here). I learned a lot and hope he produces more books in the future. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute must have! *by on Reviewed in the United States August 31, 2025* I listened to this on Audible. I was absolutely mesmerized by the life changing information that I had to buy the book to read it as well. This book is an absolute must have for anyone interested in human health, holistic health and nutrition, preventing/reversing disease, biology, medicine, and evolution. While this book is jammed packed with information, the author did a stellar job of making sure non scientists can easily understand the information. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting read *by on Reviewed in the United States April 17, 2020* Great book to get an understanding how your body produces the energy one needs to live. Is it the be all and end all to understanding all degenerative disease and the cause of ageing ? No doubt it's part of the cause but It seems to me that he kinda gave short thrift to other theories .Page 44 and 45 endocrine theory of ageing is caused by a fall in hormones but he doesn't mention HGH . His argument is why do these hormones start to fall in the first place. And seems to think that that ends the discussion..It doesn't!The question should be why shouldn't it fall over time? Consider this HGH repairs soft tissue damage including DNA damage done by free radicals. This may well be what keeps the young as healthy as they are. Evolution and natural selection only have one concern that we live long enuff to pass our genes along and stay alive long enuff to see our offspring to adulthood . Thus there's no REASON for the glands to continue producing HGH once the time has passed for that to be accomplished. But one can stimulate the production of HGH with proper exercise and diet.
