Mitochondria, Our Batteries For Life

Mitochondria are 1.45 to 1.8 billion years old according to fossil records (1). Through the years of evolution, they ended up in most of our cells.

Mitochondria appear like a separate cell, within our cells, and they even has their own set of DNA (mtDNA) which we inherit only from our mother. Mitochondria exist in different numbers in different cell lines. The highest being the heart where 40% of each heart muscle cell by volume [...]

Auto-immunity, the what, where, why and how

My favorite question is "why?". I ask it many times in my mind during an intake until I really get to the root causes of the health concern. When we ask ourselves, our body, "why is this happening to me?", we can often find the answers ourselves. Our body is always trying to communicate to us what it needs and doesn't need.
