Anamaria B: Your Mother Still Runs Part of Your DNA
Anamaria B., Longevity Advisor, Healthspan Strategy & Clinic Operations Expert, posted on LinkedIn:
“Your Mother still runs part of your DNA
Every mitochondrion in your body comes from your mother.
And hers came from her mother.
Mitochondria are the tiny energy factories inside every cell, producing ATP, regulating metabolism, and influencing how we age.
Unlike nuclear DNA (which is 50% from each parent), mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is inherited exclusively from the maternal line.
Why?
Research shows that sperm mitochondria are actively destroyed after fertilisation or lack the proteins (like TFAM) required to maintain mtDNA. This means that the egg’s mitochondria become the sole blueprint for every future cell in your body, making your maternal mtDNA the foundation of your cellular energy system.
But it goes even deeper.
Your mtDNA is a living biological record of survival, the story of every woman in your lineage who kept that mitochondrial line alive.
From a scientific perspective, this has profound implications for longevity, metabolic health, and disease resilience. Mutations, adaptations, or strengths within your mitochondrial line influence how efficiently your body converts fuel, manages stress, and ages over time.
Every heartbeat you feel today is powered by the same mitochondria that once pulsed through the women who came before you.
