Part I: Rescuing your metabolism. The truth about mitochondria, free radicals, and dietary fats ; Why you need mitochondrial metabolic therapy (MMT) ; The protein paradox ; The surprising effects of iron on mitochondrial health ; What to eat on MMT: the cleanest, most efficient fuel for your body -- Part II: Advanced healing with mitochondrial metabolic therapy. Before you start MMT ; How to get started ; Navigating your transition to burning fat ; Using MMT over the long term ; The power of fasting to optimize mitochondrial health ; Other ways to improve your mitochondrial health.

"For over a century, we've accepted the scientific consensus that cancer results from genetic disease due to chromosomal damage in cell nuclei. But what if cancer isn't a genetic disease after all? What if scientists are chasing a flawed paradigm, and cancer isn't a disease of damaged DNA but rather of defective metabolism as a result of mitochondrial dysfunction? What if that startling truth could revolutionize our understanding of other diseases as well--and show us a radical new path to optimal health? Joseph Mercola explains how nearly all disease is caused by defective metabolic processes. Then he reveals what's really causing your metabolism to go haywire: damage and dysfunction in the mitochondria, thousands of which are at work in nearly every cell in your body, generating 90 percent of the energy you need to stay alive and well. When mitochondria become damaged in large numbers, it is impossible to stay healthy. Dr. Mercola shows you that you too can take control of your health simply by giving your body the proper fuel--and it's not what you've likely been led to believe. A ketogenic diet, very low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats, is the way to optimize the biochemical pathways that suppress disease and support healing. Dr. Joseph Mercola is the creator of the natural health website Mercola.com. He has been a guest on The Dr. Oz Show."--Provided by publisher.
