Story
In Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine, naturopathic doctor Lee Know tells the epic story of mitochondria - the widely misunderstood and often-overlooked powerhouses of our cells. The legendary saga began over two billion years ago, when one bacterium entered another without being digested, which would evolve to create the first mitochondrion. Since then, for life to exist beyond single-celled bacteria, it's the mitochondria that have been responsible for this life-giving energy.

How do some people avoid the slowing down, deteriorating, and weakening that plagues many of their peers decades earlier? Are they just lucky? Or do they know something the rest of us don’t? Is it possible to grow older without getting sicker? What if you could look and feel 50 through your 80s and 90s? Founder of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and one of the leading pioneers of longevity research, Dr. Nir Barzilai’s life’s work is tackling the challenges of aging to delay and prevent the onset of all age-related diseases.

When Eileen McKusick began offering sound therapy in her massage practice she soon discovered she could use tuning forks to locate and hear disturbances in the energy field, or biofield, that surrounded each of her clients. She found these energetic disturbances correlated with the emotional and physical traumas her clients had experienced throughout their lives, the biofield acting as a record of pain, stress, and trauma from gestation onward.

Publisher's Summary
Nobel Prize winner Dr Elizabeth Blackburn and leading health psychologist Dr Elissa Epel have discovered biological markers called telomeres, which can help us to understand how healthy our cells are and what we can do to improve them.
The Telomere Effect looks at ideas including how biological age is not chronological age, a biological basis for the mind-body connection and how sleep and diet can affect telomeres. It also offers tools and advice on how to determine cellular age and telomere health.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Supplements vs lifestyle enhancement
My key takeaway is to avoid hype on use of supplements to increase telomere length for lifespan purposes, via rapid cell division, like cancer cells behave, and consequently accelerate an existing disease inadvertently. One size does not fit all.

Try to live a good life
Would you listen to The Telomere Effect again? Why?
No. Its read by a know-it-all smug granny.
What did you like best about this story?
Info was good and up to date. Like the references to studies.
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Suzanne Toren?
The authors perhaps. Just not one who is talking to you like she's trying to get you to join her bible studies group. Stop smiling while reading as its unnatural in delivery.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No
Any additional comments?
Its good info, however its a bit jumbled and long winded in repeating the same bits over again. It could be about 1/2 the length if they just go to the point. Would be better with summaries at the end of the chapters. Quizzes in the audio were just horrible. Put them in the PDF.

Inspiring and spiritual
At first this book may seem rather scientific and dry as it goes into explaining what telomere's are. But reading on it was fascinating and inspiring to understand, particularly through the examples, stories and very practical tips and exercises, how our telomeres may be impacted by our genes, our childhood, life experiences and sense of purpose, our behaviors and attitudes and our interconnectedness with each other. A fascinating, inspiring and spiritual read.

Should be called: Stress Less, Live Long & Healthy
Another good title, "Psychology & Telomeres: A marriage of health."
I had the playback speed set to 215% by the end.
The science was interesting, and seemed valid, and the authors always pointed out anything that was not 100% supported by the rigors of the scientific method.
But, I got bored with the albeit great psychological exercises. Mindfulness found it's way into this book too. Hell, maybe I should give it a go. I just wish they'd played up the equally useful role of anti-depressant/anxiety medication in solving stress/anxiety for when mind games don't work.
Other interesting "marriages" included: exercise & telomeres, and food & telomeres.
I wish the whole book was briefer, but it was good information, and I'm better for having "read" (listened) to it.
