Live to 130 with new mitochondria | Tom Benson, Mitrix Bio on Mitochondrial Transplantation
Mitochondria might be one of the most important organelles inside our cells. Best known as the cell’s powerhouse, they don’t just make energy; they regulate metabolism, control cell death, drive immune function, and may even be the reason multicellular life exists at all!It’s no surprise they’re implicated in nearly every major disease, from heart disease and cancer to neurodegeneration, especially as they decline with age. What if we could slow or even reverse that decline by giving cells fresh, healthy mitochondria? That’s the promise of mitochondrial transplantation—a groundbreaking approach Mitrix Bio is pioneering. In this episode, I talk with CEO Tom Benson about the science, the potential, and the early results from people already lining up for their trial.Episode Show Notes: https://livelongerworld.com/p/tbensonFind me: https://x.com/aasthajs My longevity products: https://www.livelongerworld.com/p/2024TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Injecting new mitochondria into your body01:39 - Mitochondria’s evolutionary role in aging04:35 - What happens to old mitochondria?06:18 - Why humans live longer than other animals11:30 Why cardiovascular disease is #1 killer12:30 - Why does the brain remain sharp with age?15:30 Why does energy decline after age 30?19:04 Why doesn’t the body correct mitochondrial mutations?22:42 Mitochondrial defects in children24:14 Diagnostics for mitochondrial health27:36 Mitochondrial DNA is eternal33:18 Where does mitochondria come from in mitochondrial transplantation?34:59 Growing mitochondria in a bioreactor39:07 How neurons grow their mitochondria40:52 Mitochondrial theory of cancer44:23 Mitochondria and psychobiology48:32 Chemotherapy and radiation damage mitochondria50:38 Evidence that mitochondrial transplantation works56:06 Caloric restriction, sauna, sunlight, and mitochondria1:00:01 Mitochondria and races1:02:57 Why stop at 130 years old?1:04:48 Why might this not work?1:10:03 Volunteers for Mitrix trialAASTHA, LIVE LONGER WORLD:X: https://x.com/aasthajs Newsletter: https://livelongerworld.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aasthajs/Mitrix Bio: https://mitrix.bio/Tom Benson: https://mitrix.bio/team/tom-benson/RELATED:New Spin to the Free Radical Theory of Aging: https://www.livelongerworld.com/p/rosKeto & Metabolic Therapy for Cancer | Dr. Thomas Seyfried: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7tYdjcJ3G4tqbAx9Z6Bix2?si=biOOH1e5RpeZduLJv2fPHwBoost Mitochondria with Sunlight and Infrared light: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1jGfhzX1P245LU2kLwgHTq?si=yPOC3bViRnmOUeR-P0jeWA
