It turns out to be related to a disruption in a process called mitophagy, the natural repair and recycling process that normally rebuilds and recreates healthy mitochondria to replace damaged ones. When mitophagy fails, mitochondria lose efficiency and cannot do their jobs, and we have a power failure. The compound that's key to keeping mitophagy happening normally is called Urolithin-A, and that compound is lacking in most of us because …

Today, a talk about whether we're stuck with our feelings, diagnoses, or past traumas, or not. Am I just a skin sack of neurons? Or I am I fearfully and wonderfully made? What if we actually have a tremendous amount of control over these things? The good news is, we do! How we think changes how we live, even if we've been through TBI, TMT, or any other type of problem. No diagnosis is more powerful than the incredible smashing together of your brain, mind, and spirit. Why? Because you have a Great Physician, my friend.

Getting Hammered: All-In August #28

It's All-In August! Lees meer
A Story from my book Hope Is the First Dose about how to see your life again after trauma or tragedy.
If all you can see is The Massive Thing that happened to you, you’ll never be able to see all the other things that are still beautiful.
Here’s how to change that.
Textooks for All-In August: All In, by Mark Batterson, Hope Is the First Dose by me, and Play the Man by Mark Batterson
Scripture for the Month: II Corinthians 5:14-17, Luke 9:23-25, Galatians 5:22-23, I Corinthians 2:16
