EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Original release date: 12/3/18 In this episode, Nav Chandel, a professor of medicine and cell and molecular biology at Northwestern University, discusses the role of mitochondria and metabolism in health and disease. Nav also provides insights into the mitochondria as signaling organelles, antioxidants, and metformin’s multifaceted effects on human health, among many topics related to well-being. We discuss: -What got Nav interested in mitochondria [5:00]; -Reactive oxygen species (ROS) [16:00]; -Antioxidants: helpful or harmful? [20:00]; -Mitochondria as signaling organelles [22:00]; -Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) [25:00]; -Mitochondrial DNA [28:00]; -Mitochondria and aging [45:00]; -Metformin [52:45]; -Metformin and the gut microbiome [54:00]; -Metformin as complex I inhibitor and the importance of the NADH/NAD ratio [1:01:00]; -Anticancer benefits of metformin [1:07:45]; -Mitochondrial function is necessary for tumorigenesis [1:15:00]; -Are somatic mutations the result of mitochondrial dysfunction? [1:31:30]; -Vitamins and antioxidants [1:37:00]; -Targeting inflammation in disease [1:43:00]; -NAD precursors [1:45:45]; -MitoQ [1:52:00]; -Metabolite toxicity [1:56:30]; -Cortisol and healthy aging [2:02:00]; -Nav turns the tables and asks Peter how he deals with the “So what should I eat?” question during social encounters [2:09:00]; and -More.

With over 10 million episodes downloaded, it features topics including fasting, ketosis, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, mental health, and much more. Peter is the founder of Attia Medical, PC, a medical practice with offices in San Diego and New York City, focusing on the applied science of longevity. The practice applies nutritional biochemistry, exercise physiology, sleep physiology, techniques to increase distress tolerance, lipidology, pharmacology, and four-system endocrinology to increase lifespan (delaying the onset of chronic disease), while simultaneously improving healthspan (quality of life).

EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of Peter Attia MD, featuring Peter Attia and Navdeep Chandel, #31 – Navdeep Chandel, Ph.D.: metabolism, mitochondria, and metformin in health and disease explores navdeep Chandel Rethinks Mitochondria as Signaling Hubs, Metformin, and Cancer Chandel traces his path from enzyme kinetics to the 1996 finding that cytochrome c release triggers cell death, which showed mitochondria do more than make ATP and led him to study ROS like hydrogen peroxide as physiological signals.
