The Mitochondria Scientist Dr Martin Picard reveals why stress is secretly burning 60% of your daily energy, the science behind reversing gray hair, and why your mitochondria - not your genes - determine how fast you age!

We're tired all the time because we hate our jobs and just work these jobs because we have to to live. It's amazing how much more energy I have when I get to do something I love and enjoy.

It’s very refreshing to hear a health expert who doesn’t take or recommend supplements or other artificial treatments! It not only gives hope to those of us who don’t have the financial means to purchase dozens of products, but it also encourages a return to a simpler, more natural and peaceful life.

My aunt was gray for decades..she developed a fatal cancer in her 70s. During her long fight including surgery and chemo, she lost her hair as expected. When it grew back it was the fire red hair of her youth. It was very unexpected and never explained to us how it could happen.

I am currently 64. When I was in my mid 40s, I was in a horrid relationship which involved hours of sobbing almost everyday. I started to go gray. We broke up and the gray went away completely within a year. I am just now starting to get a few grays again.
