| Reader, When was the last time your doctor asked you, "How's your mitochondria doing?"
I'm willing to bet the answer is never.
But these tiny organelles inside your cells are the key to all-day energy.
Energy that was non-stop when you were a kid!
When you're a child, you have the highest number of mitochondria in your cells. These mitochondria give your cells the energy they need to do their jobs.
And they're running at full capacity.
But as you age, your mitochondria start to disappear. And the ones that survive become damaged.
When this happens, down goes your energy production – and down goes your ability to regenerate and repair your body.
And it leads to the number-1 complaint of aging among my patients – fatigue.
But you have the power to rejuvenate these microscopic energy powerhouses.
In a minute, I'll show you how. First, let's look at what happens when mitochondria decline and degenerate… Prevent Diseases Associated With Aging Your mitochondria make up your body's master energy system.
They beat your heart, stimulate your sex drive, and they even allow you to think.
They are the nanotechnology of your cells — and they power every organ and function in your body.
The average human cell has 200 mitochondria. But energy-hungry organs have more. Liver cells have about 2,000. Heart cells have around 5,000. And brain cells — the most power-hungry organ of all — have over 10,000.
When energy systems start to misfire, your body simply can't keep up with all that it needs to do to remain healthy and disease-free.
We already know that damaged mitochondria can lead to: - Alzheimer's and dementia
- Heart disease
- Cancer
- Coronary artery disease
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Strokes
- Parkinson's
- Fibromyalgia
Secret To All-Day Energy But your mitochondria also hold the secret to youthful, all-day energy.
A revealing study found that muscle tissue from a 90-year-old man contained mitochondria that were 95% damaged…1
Meanwhile, the mitochondria of a 5-year-old showed almost no damage.
The study of the 90-year-old man with damaged mitochondria is a great example of what I've been telling my patients for decades…
When the power generators in your cells break down, you become old, weak, and frail.
That's why old men shuffle when they walk… it's why they need to take afternoon naps… and it's why they wind up sick and tired.
When you lose your power generators, you become weak and helpless.
Loss of and damage to your mitochondria accelerates aging. And it's directly linked to all the horrifying problems that sneak up on you as you get older.
At the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, I've been helping my patients boost their mitochondria for ALL-DAY ENERGY in just minutes a day.
Let me explain…
One of the most effective ways to increase mitochondrial energy is by practicing high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
Studies show that HIIT is better than long-duration, medium-intensity workouts at increasing mitochondrial function.
In fact, a recent study out of Australia found four 30-second sprinting intervals were more effective at the cellular level than a slower-paced 30-minute workout.
You see, the intense two-minute workout revitalized and improved the riders' mitochondria.2
And these short bursts don't just squeeze more energy out of the mitochondria you already have.
Studies show that 30-second bouts of high-intensity exercise activate a gene called PGC1-alpha.
And this gene generates NEW healthy mitochondria.3
And as we learned from the study with the 95-year-old man…the key to staying young is creating MORE mitochondria to produce more energy.
That's why I was inspired to create my PACE (Progressively Accelerating Cardiopulmonary Exertion) program. While PACE is similar to HIIT, it's not the same…
The problem with HIIT is that the typical deconditioned American can't run eight 100-yard wind sprints. They are not ready to do extreme workouts.
I designed PACE to work for someone at any fitness level. No matter your current condition, PACE still works.
In just 12 minutes per day, PACE can help boost your energy… lengthen your life… and restore youthful function to your body.
And PACE is safe for any age group.
And it doesn't matter if you're out of shape right now.
You can start out easy, at your own level. Gradually, you increase your intensity as each move becomes easier and easier for you. The important thing is to increase your challenge over time. Try This Simple Workout To Get You Started Here's an easy walking workout to get you started… - First, walk as far as you can for each of the three sets. Walk the first set a bit faster than you normally do. Then rest until your heart rate returns to normal.
- Next, walk as far as you can again for three sets. But this time, go a bit faster. Rest again between sets but make the rest period a tiny bit shorter.
- Then walk your sets again. This time, go even faster and really pump your arms. Then push yourself to do one more set.
To Your Good Health,

PS: If you're interested in easily increasing your mitochondria for ALL-DAY ENERGY…
Stay tuned!
In my upcoming LIVE webinar, I'll be sharing a breakthrough discovery that allows you to easily activate your PGC1-alpha gene to build healthy new mitochondria…
Without any exercise!
Can you imagine the never-ending energy you'll have when you combine this breakthrough with the energy you get from my PACE exercise program?
It'll be like returning to your youth…
