I was diagnosed with a serious spinal infection and told I may never walk again. So I did not walk on my own for an entire year. I was in bed pretty much 24 hours a day. Outside of the two hours, I would literally crawl on my hands and knees and get in a pool.

Do you feel that your level of connection with God and your positive attitude and your outlook was a key factor in your healing?

Josh Axe (0:18)

Absolutely. You know, one of the things that I believe really strongly in is faith-based healing. Think about what Jesus said in the Bible. Jesus never said, eat this food, you'll be healed. He said, your faith or your belief. That's what healed you. The conventional blood tests are looking at so little and there's almost no depth at all. You know how many people I know that have had blood tests done and they've been said, you're totally fine? And then a few weeks later, they were diagnosed with cancer. A few weeks later, somebody had a heart attack. You know, there was a Nobel Prize winner in the 1950s named Otto Warburg. And he said, I now know the cause of cancer. It's two things.

Here's an interesting question. How much do you actually know about the way your everyday habits are supporting how you age? We hear so much about longevity right now. Sleep, protein, strength, training, nutrition, all of these things matter. But there's another layer that doesn't get nearly as much attention as it should. What's happening inside your cells? Your mitochondria produce the cellular energy that your body relies upon every day. And mitochondrial dysfunction, that's considered a central hallmark of aging. And that's why I've been so interested in the work Timeline does with Mitopure. Mitopure is their pure and patented form of urolithin A. It supports mitochondrial function and cellular renewal by activating mitopogee, your body's natural process for clearing out damaged mitochondria. But rather than just tell you about it, Timeline wants you to think about your own longevity habits. So they've created a longevity quiz that takes just a few minutes and it looks at some of the everyday habits that can support healthy aging. And the best part, if you complete the quiz, Timeline will send you a free sample of Mitopure Gummies. So take the quiz, learn a little bit more about how you're supporting the way you age, and try Mitopure for yourself. Go to timeline.com/gemelli to take the longevity quiz and get your free gummies. That's timeline.com/gemelli.

All right, everybody, welcome back to The Dylan Gemelli Podcast. I am in my favorite studio. I've been in a lot of studios all over the United States, hopefully soon in the world. But this is my favorite. And I'll tell you what, I'm starting to feel at home in here with my friend. I appreciate the hospitality and allowing me to be here with you.

And this is our second interview, and we have a something special coming on top of this for everybody. But I came down here in February and had a high expectation. And when I left, it was far beyond what I would have ever dreamed of.

And the friendship and the back and forth was such a huge bonus. And I'm thankful to call you a friend, a brother, and the things that I get to share with you, learn from you, which is just astounding. And I told you before, I've been learning from you for like 15 years now, and you had no idea. But the work that you do prior and continue to do, it's heartwarming, it's helpful, and it showcases who you are and what you stand for. And you stand for everything that I stand for. And so it's so nice to sit here and converse with you, relate with you, and share you with my audience. And you already have a huge audience.

It's just the level of gratitude that I have for you, just for who you are. It's amazing. Family man, brilliant knowledge, wisdom, and what you do. Now, he has a new book coming out with Dr. Will Cole. It's called Heal Your Cells. And it's one of many of the things that you put out. I can't give you enough love and accolade, my friend. So welcome, part two, with Dr. Josh Axe.

Josh Axe (3:50)

Hey, Dylan, thanks so much for having me. I'm excited to be here, excited to talk all things health and nutrition and everything else today. So thanks again.

Dylan Gemelli (3:56)

I love coming to see you down here. It's awesome. And I hope to have many more with you. So as always, with you and I, we're limited on time. So I'm gonna drill you today for everything that I can. And you know how we do this. So we're gonna go all over the place. But I do wanna start with Heal Your Cells because I was able to start reading it and I got an advanced copy. And I find that you have taken it to another level. Mitochondria is the big buzzword these days. And everybody talks about it, but I don't know how much they really know.
