Is Mitochondrial Transplantation The Longevity Intervention Of The Future (OLD Mice Climbing Up Walls Like YOUNG Mice!) With Tom Benson of Mitrix

Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/mitrix

In this episode with Tom Benson, founder and CEO of Mitrix, you'll hear why mitochondrial decline may be the actual root cause of aging rather than just a downstream symptom of it, and why most of the drugs developed so far to address it don't touch the real problem: damaged mitochondrial DNA. We discuss how Tom's company grows new, healthy mitochondria inside a bioreactor using banked stem cells, what mitochondrial transplantation actually looks like in real human cases already happening today, and the mouse study that gives this episode its name, in which severely aged mice receiving repeated mitochondrial injections were, according to the technicians running the experiment, climbing the walls of their cages by the very next day. Tom also touches on his original theory on the mitochondrial cycle of the body, how mitlets differ from naked mitochondria, and what his own MitoClock test reveals using nothing more than a urine sample.

Tom Benson is the CEO and founder of Mitrix. He is a serial entrepreneur and scientist who has founded four successful software, hardware, and science startups. He has published dozens of articles and video lectures on mitochondrial science and cellular energetics, and developed original theories on the systemic transfer and distribution of mitochondria within higher organisms and how that affects health and lifespan.
