At this point, like you, I've seen over thirteen thousand chronically ill patients who've been to thirty, forty doctors, the most was a hundred, by the way, who ended up getting better. The key six root causes that I was finding is number one, these infections. A bacterial infections like Lyme, but also one that a lot of people don't know about, which is Bartonella. What you're saying here is that all these have similar underlying causes. And that if you treat those underlying causes, the downstream effects tend to get better without treating them directly. Correct. And that's the problem in medicine. The way we were taught is name the disease, throw the drug at it. But you didn't get to the root causes of why they were sick. People ask me all the time. What supplements I take personally? I'm constantly evaluating new research, new compounds, and new products. The truth is there aren't many that make the cut one that does is timeline powered by Mito Pure.

If you follow my work, you've heard me talk about mitochondrial health. Now mitochondria are responsible for producing about ninety percent of the energy in your body. And when they're functioning well, you feel the difference. More vitality, better physical function, more of the energy you need to do the things you love. The challenge is that as we age, our ability to maintain healthy mitochondria naturally declines. That's why I take my care daily. My nephew contains Urolithin A, a clinically studied postbiotic that supports mitophagy, which is your body's natural process for renewing mitochondria. And what I like most is that it targets one of the root mechanisms of aging rather than simply addressing the symptoms. It's back more than eighteen years of research.

Multiple human clinical studies. It's one of the simplest additions I made to support my long term health. And now with timeline's new lower pricing, it's never been easier to try. go to timeline dot com and use the code Hyman to get twenty percent off. Your order.
