Nicolas Verhoeven breaks down what mitochondria do inside the cell, then uses exercise as the lens for how mitochondrial “adaptations” might show up in real measurements. He frames mitochondrial improvement around three buckets—energy generation, cell signaling, and mitochondrial biogenesis—and walks through studies he says support changes in ATP production, antioxidant signaling, and mitochondrial-related proteins. The talk ends with practical exercise takeaways (including large muscle groups and intensity), plus a short Q&A touching on MTHFR, ketogenic diets, and whether benefits extend beyond muscle.
