Mitohormesis - The Process That Makes Us Stronger and Younger!
Exclusive Member Article
Dear Thermalist Members,
Have you ever heard of this incredible phenomenon? It may sound like something out of a science fiction novel, but it's actually a real and scientifically proven concept. The process of mitohormesis is something that occurs within our cells, and it has the power to make us stronger and younger.
In today's world where aging is a constant concern, understanding this process can have monumental impacts on our health and well-being. But first things first!

What is Mitohormesis How Does It Work?
Mitohormesis is a scientifically proven phenomenon that occurs within our cells, which increases health and viability by reducing mitochondrial stress. This process involves coordinated communication between the mitochondria and the cellular nucleus, known as mitonuclear communication.
The activation of this interplay relies on various signals such as reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial metabolites, proteotoxic signals, and the release of mitokines.
Mitohormesis works by inducing a mild amount of stress on our mitochondria, which are known as the powerhouses of our cells. This stress triggers a protective response that leads to improved cellular health and function.
This response is mediated by various signals, including reactive oxygen species, which act as messengers to activate other protective mechanisms such as mitochondrial unfolded protein response and the increase in mitokine expression. These processes work together to promote a healthier metabolism, stronger immune system, and increased lifespan.
Here are some functional mechanisms I have compiled from my expedition, I hope you'll get something! But before then, what is a mitochondria?
