Mitochondrial Life-Capacity
A Life-Coherent Framework for Energy Transformation, Fatigue, Healing, and Human FlourishingBy Dr. Bichara Sahely
Length1h 8m
About this audiobook
Mitochondrial Life-Capacity offers a life-coherent framework for understanding energy transformation, fatigue, healing, and human flourishing. Dr. Bichara Sahely explores how mitochondria translate food, oxygen, sleep, movement, stress, safety, inflammation, and ecological conditions into the body’s capacity to think, move, repair, relate, and participate in life. Fatigue is reframed not as weakness, but as a protective signal that demand may be exceeding the body’s capacity to transform energy coherently. Drawing on mitochondrial science, metaboception, GDF15 signaling, salugenesis, allostasis, interoception, and public health, this audiobook invites listeners to rethink health as life-capacity enabled, healing as life-capacity restored, and flourishing as life-capacity expressed.
