Summary

There are scientifically proven foods that will create new mitochondria and lower blood sugar.

Mitochondria and insulin resistance are intricately linked, and what you eat plays an enormous role in their relationship.

Diabetes expert Cyrus Khambatta, PhD explores the relationship and shares the top foods to include in your diet that can optimize your health and cellular function. He joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.

If you have a question for Cyrus, post it in the comments of chat. We will address as many as possible during the live stream.

In This Episode

- What are mitochondria?

- How are mitochondria and diabetes connected?

- What foods generate new mitochondria?

- How do these foods improve cellular function?

- What foods should people with diabetes not eat?

- How can amla benefit your mitochondria?

- How many more antioxidants are in amla compared to other foods?

0:00.0	Today on the exam room.
0:05.0	I think that they are the most fascinating single thing in all of biology.
0:12.0	Mitochondria, you can think of them as, people refer to them as the quote unquote powerhouses of the cell.
0:17.0	So let's say you live in the city of San Francisco and there are maybe one or maybe two power plants
0:23.2	that are located outside of the city whose responsibility is to generate electricity and then
0:29.6	send that electricity into the city. In the human body, it's the exact opposite. Rather than having
0:35.8	a whole collection of cells, whether it's tens of thousands
0:39.3	or hundreds of thousands of cells that are powered by these big power plants, you have one cell
0:46.0	and inside of one cell you have hundreds or thousands of microscopic tiny little power plants.
0:54.3	And those are the mitochondria.
0:56.0	Their job is to produce this stuff called ATP.
1:00.2	And ATP is the cellular form of energy,
1:04.2	and it would be effectively the cellular form of electricity.
1:07.8	So the ATP that mitochondria generate is required in order to power the cell itself,
1:15.6	because there's hundreds, if not thousands of biochemical reactions which are happening every
1:20.4	single moment of every single day. And those biochemical reactions, they need fuel. And the fuel
1:26.5	is manufactured by these tiny little power plants
1:29.1	that are inside of that same exact cell.
1:36.9	Welcome to the exam room podcast, brought to you by the Physicians Committee.
1:41.2	Hi, I'm the weight loss champion, Chuck Carroll, raising health IQs
1:45.0	coast to coast and around the world. Hi to the exam roomies listening in Las Vegas, Nevada, Covington,
1:51.9	Virginia, and Bergamo, Italy. Wherever you are, we appreciate you helping to make the world
