Today’s workout comes from Pete Shaw of Petra Health MetFix in Ottawa, Canada.
This sprint should take less than 10 minutes, with the squats being light enough to complete in one, unbroken set, at least for the early early rounds.

¼ cup yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

Preparation
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos or soy sauce (1 Tbsp), grated ginger (1 tsp), and minced garlic (1 clove) to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter (1 Tbsp) for cooking. Add the sliced pork (6 oz) to the skillet and sear for 2–3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked through.
Add the sliced red bell pepper (¼ cup), yellow bell pepper (¼ cup), and trimmed snow peas (¼ cup) to the skillet. Stir-fry together for another 2–3 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the pork is fully cooked.
Pour the garlic-ginger sauce over the pork and vegetables, stirring quickly to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and glazes the stir-fry.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Plate the stir-fry and sprinkle with sesame seeds (1 tsp) before serving. Serve hot.
"Mitochondrial abnormalities, or problems in the powerhouses of cells, seem to be a main contributor to the death of important nerve cells in the cerebellum — a brain region involved in motor control — in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), a new study suggests.
Researchers found that inflammation and the loss of myelin — the protective sheath around nerve fibers — in the cerebellum disrupts the function of mitochondria, leading to an energy deficit that ultimately kills the nerve cells."
