The Cellular Engine That Runs Your Metabolism When most people think about why they find it difficult to lose weight, they think about calories, portion sizes, exercise habits, and willpower. They consider their hormones, their genetics, their sleep, and their stress levels. They rarely, if ever, think about their mitochondria. This is a significant oversight. Because if you want to understand why some people seem to burn fat effortlessly while others work equally hard with far less result, why the same dietary approach produces dramatically different outcomes in different people, and why metabolic rate can differ so substantially between individuals of similar body composition, the answer may lie less in what is happening at the plate and more in what is happening inside every cell of your body, specifically inside the organelles that determine how efficiently those cells convert fat into usable energy. Mitochondria are the cellular power plants responsible for producing a...
