About MyMitochondria

MyMitochondria is a news publication dedicated to mitochondria — the energy-producing structures inside your cells that convert food and oxygen into the energy your body runs on. We cover mitochondrial health from every angle: new research, treatments, peptides, medications, testing, and the people and companies shaping the field, including the controversial and the bad news.

How we report

Every article is written for the general reader and grounded in verifiable sources: peer-reviewed journals, regulatory records, specialty-society guidance, and named clinical laboratories. We label the maturity of the evidence behind each story so you can judge how close an idea is to patient care:

Established — supported by human data and broad scientific agreement.
Preliminary — promising early evidence, not yet confirmed.
Extrapolated — reasoning beyond the available data; treat with caution.
Contested — scientists disagree; read both sides.
Absent — no meaningful evidence yet.

We also cover the watchdog side: stretched claims, questionable products, and scams that trade on scientific language. When we quote a public voice — a doctor, an influencer, a company — we separate what they say from what the evidence supports.

Founder & Editor-in-Chief

MyMitochondria is founded by Samael “Sam” Tejada, its Founder & Editor-in-Chief and the founder of Liquivida. Before Liquivida, Sam served as a firefighter and paramedic; he is the author of How To Win In Modern Wellness and hosts A Healthy Point of View, a podcast on health, longevity, and the business of wellness. MyMitochondria is where he puts that experience to work as a reader-first publication: every story is graded on the evidence, and every claim can be traced to its source.

A note on our clinic directory

Our Find a Clinic directory lists clinics offering mitochondrial treatments, peptides, and testing. The featured listing, Liquivida Wellness Center – Lauderdale Beach, is part of Liquivida, founded by Samael “Sam” Tejada, the founder and editor-in-chief of MyMitochondria. We say this plainly because you should always know who is behind the content you read.

MyMitochondria content is for general information and education only. It is not medical advice, a clinician-patient relationship, a diagnosis, a treatment recommendation, or an endorsement of a test, product, or provider. Always consult a qualified professional about symptoms, testing, and treatment decisions.
