Unlock Longevity With Your Mitochondria

Unlock Longevity With Your Mitochondria

What if the secret to a longer, healthier life lies within your own cellular power plants? Are you ready to learn about the newest cutting-edge longevity treatment that’s on the horizon as well as ways you can support your longevity right now? The science is rapidly evolving. Let’s dive in. 

Why Mitochondria Matter 

Scientists often dub mitochondria the “powerhouses of the cell,” but they’re far more than just energy producers. Mitochondria are complex, intelligent structures that act as sensors, processors, and even decision-makers in your body. Emerging research shows they may play a key role in emotional regulation, cognitive function, and disease prevention [1][2][3]. The health of your mitochondria determines everything – from how your brain works to how you perform, to whether or not you get a chronic disease. The problem is as you age, your mitochondria start to lose their function.  

The Promise of Mitochondrial Therapeutics aka Mitochondrial Transplantation 

Biotech researchers are working on external bioreactors that can repair and replicate youthful mitochondria. The goal is to reintroduce high-functioning mitochondria into people to restore energy levels, cognitive function, and immune resilience. It’s not science fiction—early animal trials show this can improve cellular energy metabolism, restore mitochondrial function, and prevent cell death [4]. Scientists call this concept mitochondrial transplantation.  

 The Biology Behind the Breakthrough 

Science shows that accumulated damage to mitochondrial DNA is what drives aging [5]. Unlike nuclear DNA, mitochondria replicate quickly and with less quality control, leading to functional decline over time. While stem cell therapies offer some benefits, they don’t come close to what mitochondrial transplantation can do. Mitochondria-based therapy can rejuvenate your body much more – potentially the equivalent of thousands of stem cell treatments. 

Personalized Power 

For now, most research focuses on autologous treatments—repairing and reintroducing someone’s own mitochondria. But in emergencies, or eventually at scale, mass-produced donor mitochondria might become a new category of treatment, like blood transfusions or organ donation.  

And think about the possibilities for biohackers. Your mitochondrial DNA can influence how you process energy, respond to heat, and even resist disease. In the future, you might be able to choose mitochondria based on your geography, athletic goals, or even cognitive needs. 

Applications Beyond Longevity 

Mitochondrial transplantation for longevity and biohacking sounds great, but it also may be the key to treating chronic diseases like Parkinson’s, ALS, glaucoma, and even certain mental health conditions. Many common medications—including antidepressants and statins—may damage mitochondria, so this could reframe how we approach both prevention and treatment. 

6 Ways to Support Your Mitochondria Right Now 

You don’t have to wait for mitochondrial transplantation to start improving your energy and resilience. Here are some practical, science-backed ways to supercharge your mitochondria today: 

        Get Chilly:
        Cold therapy increases a special protein in your body called PGC1- ?. PGC1- ? stimulates your body to create new, healthy          mitochondria [6]. You can do cryotherapy if you’re close to an Upgrade Labs, do a cold plunge at home if you have one, or          simply take a cold shower.  

       Move Daily:
       High-intensity interval training (HIIT) and resistance training activate mitochondrial growth and function [7]. Click here           to learn about how to do the most effective form of high intensity training. 

       Eat (Then Don’t Eat):
       Intermittent fasting improves mitochondrial efficiency and reduces oxidative damage in your cells [8][9] If you’re new to           fasting, go to fastwithdave.com to get started. 

       Sleep Like It’s Your Job:
       Your mitochondria need deep, restorative sleep to repair themselves and regenerate cellular energy [10]. Aim for at least             1.5 hours of deep sleep every night.  

       Ditch Toxins:
       Avoid alcohol, processed seed oils, and endocrine disruptors (like microplastics) that damage mitochondrial membranes           [11]. 

       Get the Right Light:
       Morning sunlight and red and infrared light therapy (660–850nm) directly enhance mitochondrial energy production                 [12]. When you wake up, go outside immediately and get 5-10 minutes of sunlight on your bare skin. 

A Bold Vision for the Future 

Imagine a world where we test mitochondrial health as routinely as cholesterol. And then if something is wrong, imagine being able to fix it with cutting edge treatments like mitochondrial transplantation. Emerging mitochondrial therapies are going to transform how you age, perform, and heal. Get ready!

Your Testosterone is Probably Low. Here’s How to Hack It.

Most guys think low testosterone is just part of aging. It’s not. It’s a side effect of modern life—and it’s 100% hackable. 

In my 20s, I was inflamed, tired, and stuck. Doctors told me to accept it. 

But I wasn’t going to accept it. I decided to do some tests. It turns out my testosterone levels were lower than my mother’s. 

So I hacked my biology. 

Now, in my 50s, my T levels are higher than they were in my 30s. Here’s how you can hack yours too (with the same supplements I personally use): 

1. Eat Like Your Hormones Matter

Your testicles contain tiny factories (Leydig cells) that build testosterone. But they need raw materials to function. 

Here’s what to do: 

  • Eat more saturated fat: grass-fed beef, pasture-raised eggs, butter, raw A2 cheese 
  • Cut seed oils: ditch canola, sunflower, soybean, corn oil, etc. 

Forget calorie-counting. It makes you weak. Fuel your biology with high quality raw materials. 

2. Prioritize Deep, High-Quality Sleep

One bad night of sleep can cause a 15% drop in testosterone levels. Don’t treat sleep like it’s optional. 

Here are some sleep hacks to support testosterone levels: 

  • Avoid large meals and workouts 2-3 hours before bed 
  • Black out your room 
  • Cool down your room (aim for ~68°F) 

Sleep is free hormone therapy. Use it. 

3. Fix Your Light Exposure

Light controls your circadian rhythm—and your hormones. 

Get outside in the sun within 30 minutes of waking up. Don’t wear sunglasses. You only need about 10-15 minutes to get the benefits. 

At night, avoid junk light from LEDs and compact fluorescent lights (CFLs). Use warm lighting and block artificial light after sunset. 

Your hormones respond to light. Get it right, and you flip the testosterone switch. 

4. Track Your Progress: 

It’s also important to track your testosterone levels to see if your interventions are working. 

  • Get labs (Total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol). If you can’t get them from your doctor, check out AXO by Upgrade Labs. It’s a platform that provides personalized health insights through advanced lab testing, wearable data integration, and tailored recommendations. And the best part is you don’t have to go to a doctor or deal with your insurance company 
  • Track morning wood (yes, really). If it’s not there, you have a problem 
  • Monitor your energy and drive—testosterone fuels motivation 

A Quick Word for Women 

Believe it or not, women need testosterone too. If you’re a woman and you’re low in testosterone you might experience a low sex drive, mood changes, and fatigue. Make sure you get your levels tested and if they’re low, work with a functional doctor to find an intervention that works for you.  

The Shortcut: Safe Testosterone Replacement Therapy 

It’s possible to raise your testosterone levels naturally. But sometimes your body needs some extra help. When I found out my testosterone levels were low, I found a new doctor who helped me get onto testosterone replacement therapy. When I went on testosterone my brain changed. I’ve been on it the vast majority of the time since then. It’s made me healthier, stronger, and more motivated.  

I’m a huge fan of KYZATREX® from Thrive, which is an FDA-approved, twice-daily oral capsule for testosterone replacement therapy in adult men who have low testosterone. They designed it for peak absorption—and it bypasses your liver to prevent damage. This means you can experience the benefits of TRT without the potential liver strain associated with other forms of TRT. And you don’t have to take any injections.  

Want to get the oral testosterone that I use?

Go to LiveThrive.co/asprey to get your motivation back — with a discount on your first month. 

Don’t settle for low energy and low drive. Take control of your testosterone levels now.  Learn more about how to hack your testosterone levels in this YouTube video:
