I can't claim that they mean this (for I have no who that is) but "mitochondrial challenge" reminds me of oxidative stress which does cause physical symptoms.
That was my thought as well. No way this is what he meant. He's almost definitely just saying whatever seems like a confusingly almost correct enough thing to cover for the fact that he's completely hamstringing the FDA and CDC so they stop looking too hard at the things big pharma and big agriculture are doing (and even worse, what they're doing together) but it wouldn't strike that vague "something is kinda right about this" vibe if there wasn't some truth to the fact that yeah we are drowning ourselves in plastic and cheap dopamine fixes. On the subject of fuckery they're up to together, I remember reading a CEU on antimicrobial stewardship that said agriculture is a major contributor to the development of antimicrobial resistant pathogens.
It made me remember back to watching (I think it was) Food inc in highschool: there was a guy who owned an actual real deal free range chicken farm. His butcher shop was actually open air, which the bigger factory farm tried to report as unsanitary. When actual swabs were taken, his setup was cleaner just because he was sanitizing all of his tools between each butchering. If there first chicken over the factory belt has e. coli, now they all do. So instead of slowing down and doing things in a way that doesn't spread pathogens as easily to begin with, they just feed the chickens a shitton of antibiotics. And overusing antibiotics leads to antimicrobial resistance.
The mitochondial challenges are the powerhouse of the prison cell!
so hes a jedi now?
seems more likely he’s just seeing the utter despair of young humans realizing what kind of world they have been born into.
Tbf, the earth is still quite beautiful, its the homo sapiens, particularly the homo sapiens with other homo sapiens obeying their every command (politicians... military/police)
sure but i just read an article about the atlantic jet stream coming to a halt in the next 50-100 years, so i guess smoke em while you got em or some such phrase.
You read too much news. The news is designed by the ruling powers to make people lose hope and thus make people more easy to subjugate.
If you lived in WW2 or the US-Soviet Cold War, you would've thought the world was ending.
Hey you know that the Earth is eventually gonna get sucked into the sun (or flung out into space, not quite sure which is which) and everything here dies, right.
Everything is temporary.
One of the leading theories of the universe says everything will end in "heat death". So, with knowledge of this, do you just decide to give up since "everything is meaningless"?
Fuck that lol. We shouldn't be alive, the odda s arent even in out favor, but we are. So, TAKE THAT, STUPID UNIVERSE.
I'm alive and being alive is a rebellion, its rebellion against the universe.
P.S. I was born under the Once Child Policy of mainland China. I wasn't even supposed to be born, since my parents already had a child (aka: my older brother). But guess what, I'm alive. So, take that, CCP. Sometimes, I have existential thoughts about the "what if"s, like "what if I was never born". But you know what, fuck that. On this timeline, I'm alive. My life is inherently a rebellion against authoritarians, its a direct contradiction to the CCP's policies. I shouldn't be worrying about a timeline that never happened, and similarly, we have to stop resigning ourselves to a failure that hasn't happened yet, its never too late to try to fix it.
For some pespective, even if the all the polar ice caps melt and we detonated all nukes on earth, Earth would still be more habitable than, say, Mars.
So, do what you can to stop climate change, don't be too sad about it, everything eventually dies, just try your best. Be a rebel against the universe, be a rebel against authoritarians.
Do yourself a favor, and live long enough to see the demise of tyrants, and then keep on living to piss on their graves :D

Tbh, that argument doesn't really hold. Human lives are short and our experienced history is also incredibly short. "The past" as in the part of the past that we can actually experience as human beings is less than 100 years. We can't fathom how freaking long 1000 years is, even though it's just 40 generations, let alone something that might happen in 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 years (that's 106 zeroes).
Climate change related disasters are happening right now and will intensify a lot during the next 50-100 years. I likely live long enough to watch the climate keeling over, and my kids and my grandkids will live right through the worst of it. That's something entirely different than saying that the universe will suffer the heat death in a time frame so long that we can't even understand the number in any relevant context.
i mean a girl can hope.
I'm not a scientist. What is a mitochondrial challenge?
Looks like the pseudoscience and supplement-selling name for a real set of medical conditions.

Everything RFK tries to understand is buried in a grain of truth. Yes, poor diets and sedentary lifestyles lead to younger and younger people with inflammatory diseases, which used to be a thing in obese elderly people. Inflammation is the result of release of reactive oxygen from immune cells, which is coming from mitochondria. No, mitochondria are not the cause, and in fact keep us all alive and free of disease.
For some reason the thumbnail looked like a picture of a muppet. Could we please replace RFKJR with a muppet?
I think he means midichlorians.
I'm not weak in the force, I'm just midichlorianly challenged.
Mandalorians. Sith just hate mandalorians
How many midichlorians does a mandalorian have if a mandalorian could have midichlorians?

So he's hinting that he has now discovered where autism comes from, conveniently passed from the mother's side? Checks out..
Full on tweaking from the head of a government body. What an embarassing shitshow!
The worm demands kids with more ATP!
Shai hulud!
RFK had a book published some time back in which he reveals he doesn't believe in germ theory. Germ theory. This should have automatically disqualified him from doing anything that gives him decision making powers dealing with health, and medicine.
Also why he swims in sewage. And, no one has called it germ "theory" in 200 years. It's like evolution is not a theory, labs use it every day.
I'd say that he's the one with obvious "mitochondrial challenges."
It's likely keto/carrnivore diet talk. Wouldn't be surprised, if the meat industry paid him to ban vegetarian diets in schools, alongside implementing a primarily animal based diet as baseline recommendation.
Go eat more roadkill you weirdo
Oh my gosh. He's developed super powers!! /s
I am looking at this guy and see someone mentally challenged. You can see it in his face

I like that he thinks airports are somehow a place you’ll see social connection and not just loads of tired bored people waiting.
hes mad he couldnt see the worms in people.
Dude is back on the H
Oof.
Part of me wonders if this isnt another attack on women given mitochondrial DNA is passed solely through the mother....
Then again, I doubt anyone has a high school level understanding of biology in this administration. Or the attention span to parrot what some billionare Thiel think tank told them to say if it was longer than 5 minutes prior.
If I had to pick someone suffering from mitochondrial challenges and inflammation based off appearances I'd choose RFK over a random child any time.
STFU you roided out goon.
and heroined out+ past infections of parasitic infections.
How did this come to happen?
He used his family name to become a celebrity, then went on all the conspiracy theory podcasts and forums he could find and made a big name for himself, then he amassed them into a run for president, then dropped out when he made a deal to become secretary of health in exchange for endorsing Trump.
The greatest metabolic problem in the United States, obesity, has strong ties to the addictive hyperpalatable ultraprocessed foods high in simple sugars and fats that comprise the majority of the Standard American Diet, and he's not made any mention of it, let alone take any action to address it.

RFK is literally a child murderer
Schatz recounted the story of how Kennedy traveled to Samoa in 2019 to discourage people from taking the measles vaccine which ultimately led to an outbreak in which thousands of people were infected and 83, mostly children, died.
“It is so chilling to contemplate the idea that someone as recognizable as a Kennedy would fly across an ocean to a small, developing country and basically tell everybody, ‘Be afraid of this lifesaving medicine’,” Schatz concluded.
He isn't just a quack, he is a fascist.
he drove his former now deceased wife to SUICIDE, by pressuring her to be only SAHM. SHe had a succesful career , and he used the brainworm to get out of paying alimony.
