Opening Conversation - The secret life of mitochondria 🎥

Our planetary house is on fire, and so are we. This internal energy crisis is not just metaphorical, but biologically literal. Levels of cellular inflammation in our body are at an all-time high, fueling astronomical rates of physical and mental disease, while affecting our decision-making in the workplace and ability to reach our planetary sustainability targets. In this talk, we will explore the invisible seat of power, energy and regeneration in our cells - our mitochondria - and how they might hold the key to personal health, workplace wellbeing and planetary sustainability.
