The Mitochondria Scientist Dr Martin Picard reveals why stress is secretly burning 60% of your daily energy, the science behind reversing grey hair, and why your mitochondria - not your genes - determine how fast you age!
Dr Martin Picard is a Professor of Behavioral Medicine and Director of the Mitochondrial Psychobiology Group, who specialises in how stress, emotions and lived experiences affect your mitochondria.
