“If you don't mind your mitochondria at night, it does not matter what you do the next day,” explains Dr. Michael Twyman, board certified cardiologist. Dr. Michael began working in traditional cardiology in 2012 and realized that there was a lack of focus on preventative measures to help stop people from having heart problems in the first place. In 2020, he opened his own clinic to address preventative heart health by applying quantum principles. In this episode, Dr. Michael shares his top tips for preventing heart attacks through healing mitochondrial dysfunction.

There are up to 5,000 mitochondria per heart cell. With so many mitochondria fueling the heart, it stands to reason that when the mitochondria are not getting enough energy to function properly, then heart health will decline. There are many preventative measures one can take to protect their heart, but at the base level, it all comes down to sunlight and sleep. Simply by seeing the sunrise each day and getting good quality sleep, you will significantly lower your risk for heart attacks. Sleep is key, because during sleep the mitochondria undergo the repair process. Issues like congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation are linked to sleep apnea, so it is critical to mind your circadian rhythm and make improving your sleep a top priority.

Most people do not think about their heart health until something goes wrong. Instead of waiting for a heart attack to address your heart health, start taking preventative measures today.

Quotes

“My number one thing is, always see the morning sunrise.” (6:02-6:06 | Dr. Michael)
“A lot of heart rhythm issues such as A. Fibrillation are often associated with obstructive sleep apnea.” (12:22-12:28 | Dr. Michael)
“Sleep is not when you end your day. You have to think of sleep as when you begin your day.” (16:31-16:36 | Dr. Michael)
“Before light bulbs were invented, the only type of light you had at night was red light from a fire, so you're just trying to recreate that type of experience.” (26:17-26:25 | Dr. Michael)
“Since the heart is heavily dense in mitochondria, it stands to reason that if you could put more energy into mitochondria in the heart, things may work better.” (29:00-29:10 | Dr. Michael)
