Mitochondria give cells over 90% of their energy. Without proper energy cells cannot carry out their functions. Mitochondrial Dysfunction vs Mitochondrial Disease Mitochondrial dysfunction simply means that the mitochondria are not working correctly. Mitochondrial disease is the term used when the primary cause of mitochondrial dysfunction resides in the mitochondria. Mitochondrial disease is generally genetic. It can be inherited from either or both parents. A special type of mitochondrial disease is caused by mutations on the mitochondrial DNA, and is inherited only from the mother. When the primary cause of mitochondrial dysfunction resides outside the mitochondria, mitochondrial dysfunction is called “secondary” (to something else). Symptoms of Mitochondrial Dysfunction Cellular energy is necessary for the function of all cells, but is particularly critical for nerve and muscle. Both nerve and muscle are important in GI function, thus cyclic vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, poor GI mobility, and other digestive disorders are common. Additional potential complications of mitochondrial dysfunction include chronic fatigue, neuropathic pain, depression, autistic regression, seizures, hypoglycemia, visual and hearing difficulty, depression, anxiety, panic disorder, intellectual disability, and dysautonomia. Mitochondrial Triggers Mitochondrial dysfunction can be genetic, but even then, disease is often triggered by the environment. Viral infections are among the most common triggers of mitochondrial dysfunction. Additional potential triggers are other infections (e.g. lyme bacteria), vaccinations, toxins, anesthesia, and any other significant stressor. In order situations, mitochondrial dysfunction can be acquired. In fact, stroke and heart attack involve mitochondrial dysfunction, whereas cells are receiving insufficient oxygen for required energy metabolism. Many environmental toxins can poison mitochondria as well, including some pesticides... Click Here or Click the link below for more details! https://naturallyrecoveringautism.com/223

Feeling extra tired lately? Waking up and… feeling old?? In today's episode, I'm breaking down the biggest drivers behind your energy, vitality, stamina, and resilience. You'll learn the five key areas that shape how young or old you feel, how to tell the difference between true aging and reversible symptoms, simple shifts to restore your energy, and where to start if you're feeling completely wiped out.First things first—if you've been saying “I feel old” or “aging is the worst,” stop! Instead, get curious: What exactly makes you feel that way? Better yet, ask yourself what habits might be making you feel that way. Blaming age lets us off the hook—and keeps us stuck.Here are five truths about feeling old and ways to combat those feelings:1. Symptoms vs. Signs of AgingMany so-called “aging” symptoms (fatigue, brain fog, low energy) are actually reversible. Mitochondrial function plays a big role here.2. Exercise & CirculationNot all movement is equal. Real exercise, like steady cardio, intervals, and strength training, boosts circulation and energy. Use heart rate tracking to make sure your workouts count.3. Sleep Quality > QuantitySleep is a skill. Things like caffeine, alcohol, and lack of strength training can wreck your sleep. Focus on improving quality, not just getting more hours.4. Balanced NutritionIf you're dragging, start with food. Stabilizing blood sugar with balanced meals (protein, veggies, high-fiber carbs) can quickly boost energy and fat metabolism.5. Strength TrainingFeeling stiff, achy, or “old”? You likely need more muscle, not less movement. Strong muscles protect joints, reduce fatigue, and carry you through your day. Build strength progressively, and aim to leave workouts feeling better, not more drained.There's no one-size-fits-all exercise plan. What matters is recognizing the season you're in and choosing to work with your body, not against it. Let's redefine what getting older really feels like!You can get FREE access to my 4-week Strength Without Stress program right now!

Would you like to try a safe method of healing? Do you know about Red Light Therapy? Lisa continues the conversation today with Dr. Carl Rothschild and Joyce Gerber, who also joins us, to talk about the multiple benefits of this therapy. Dr. Rothchild has been a chiropractor for many decades. Nearly 30 years ago, he was introduced to a healing method known as “Red Light Therapy.” Joyce Gerber, who is an expert nutritionist and colon hydrotherapist, met Dr. Carl Rothschild during the pandemic lockdown. Joyce was not able to do hands-on therapy, so she began working with Dr. Rothschild on his Red Light Therapy beds. She met a client who had heart problems. After 5 minutes, the therapy helped his heart tremendously. They explain how we are in a state of regeneration or degeneration. Joyce talks about how she also uses food as therapy. She looks at the whole body and how one part affects another. It's a holistic approach. The remedies are personalized. It's a powerful modality. Joyce explains how nutrition helps as well. Dr. Carl talks about how each session is 12 minutes. He says there have been no recorded side effects from this therapy. Your body will respond whether it needs to relax or be energized. The body knows how to get better. If you have any condition, the therapy may help. Mitochondrial activity is increased, and it will improve those particular areas. It is whole body healing. Dr. Carl explains that not only will you look better and feel better, you will have a better quality of life. Everyone can benefit from this non-invasive treatment. Joyce Gerber calls the mitochondria the energy factories of the cell. They are necessary for optimal health. Dr. Carl also discusses pain and the underlying causes. When corrected, the pain and inflammation go away. You must correct the underlying issues, and you can also reverse them with Red Light Therapy. He also discusses the difference between infared saunas using far-infared and the therapy beds. The near-infared waves affect the mitochondria. He also discusses blue and green lights too, and how blue light can negatively affect sleep patterns. The Red Light wavelengths are invisible to the naked eye. He talks about how there are more than 3 million documents and articles about the benefits of this therapy including studies from the National Institutes of Health. He further discusses how the therapy can also improve mood, sleep, and emotions. There are numerous locations around the country which have the Red Light Therapy Beds. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: www.trifectalight.com/joyce

Dr. Ben Bikman opens this lecture with a comprehensive overview of fluoride's history in public health, highlighting its original role in preventing dental cavities. However, he shifts the focus to its lesser-known systemic effects, particularly on metabolic health.Ben emphasizes emerging evidence that chronic exposure to fluoride—from water, toothpaste, and other products—can disrupt fat cell function and insulin sensitivity, both key pillars of metabolic regulation.Dr. Bikman explains how fluoride interferes with fat cell development by inhibiting PPARγ, a key regulator of adipogenesis. While this may initially seem beneficial (fewer fat cells), it actually leads to hypertrophic fat cells that are more insulin resistant and pro-inflammatory. Though human data is limited, epidemiological studies suggest a link between high fluoride exposure and abdominal obesity.Fluoride's impact extends to insulin resistance and pancreatic function. Rodent studies show impaired glucose tolerance and reduced insulin production following fluoride exposure. Mechanistically, this is due to oxidative stress damaging mitochondria in beta cells, impairing both insulin release and glucose uptake. Human studies—though sparse—have shown similar trends in high-fluoride areas with improvements upon fluoride reduction.Ben also explores fluoride's effects on mitochondrial function, liver health, brain development, and fertility. Mitochondrial damage in fat and liver cells impairs energy production and fat metabolism, potentially leading to fatty liver disease. In the brain, fluoride may lower IQ and disrupt thyroid function—especially harmful during development. In fertility, fluoride is linked to lower sperm count and hormone disruption in animal models. Dr. Bikman concludes by recommending avoiding fluoride in drinking water while acknowledging its limited role in dental care.Show Notes/References:For complete show notes and references, we invite you to become a Ben Bikman Insider subscriber.

Methylene blue has been going viral recently and not always for the right reasons.... or so their claimers make it seem. The most recent example of this is Dr. Paul Saladino's video he posted on social media he states that methylene blue actually "decreases ATP production" amongst other rationales for why people should not be consuming this mitochondrial-boosting agent. In the beginning of todays episode, I thoroughly and clearly state my thoughts on Dr. Saladino's hot take.The second topic entails a prelude about deuterium: what it is, how it impacts our mitochondrial function and some strategies to help mitigate its negative effects. We first discuss deuterium, because the research article we cover today is about taurine and its implications for helping the body produce deuterium-depleted water and/or helping the body decrease its deuterium content altogether. This not only has implications for overall health, but countless diseases and cancers as well.

Rewiring Your Vagus Nerve: A Functional ApproachWhile vagus nerve exercises like cold plunges and humming are popular, this episode explores a deeper functional perspective. What if underlying factors like mineral imbalances, gut issues, mold exposure, or structural misalignments are blocking your vagal function?The Mineral ConnectionYour vagus nerve functions as your body's electrical system, with minerals as crucial conductors. Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis reveals important patterns:- Calcium/Magnesium Ratio: Excessive calcium dominance keeps you stuck in "fight or flight"- Calcium/Phosphorus Ratio: Ideally balanced at 2.3:1 for optimal function- Potassium Levels: Low levels signal insufficient nerve energy- Heavy Metal Burden: Toxic metals hijack nerve function by stealing mineral binding sites"Your vagus nerve is your digestive system's power cord. Mineral imbalances create short circuits!"The Gut-Vagus ConnectionYour gut contains the second largest neural system after the brain. Comprehensive stool testing can identify issues affecting vagal function:- Low microbial diversity correlates with reduced vagal tone- Deficiencies in butyrate-producers deprive the nerve of energy- Dysbiosis creates inflammation that dampens signalingThis creates a feedback loop: poor vagal tone worsens digestive function, increasing dysbiosis, further impairing vagal tone.Mold ExposureMold illness disrupts vagus nerve function through:- Direct neurotoxicity to vagal nuclei- Mitochondrial damage impairing energy production- Inflammatory cascades that dampen vagal toneMany experience treatment resistance because underlying mycotoxin burden continues suppressing function.Structural ConsiderationsThe vagus nerve can physically get "pinched" due to:- Cranial misalignments- Neck tension- Rib cage restrictions- Abdominal compressionThis explains why bodywork sometimes dramatically improves digestion when supplements haven't helped.Practical Support StrategiesWhile addressing root causes, try:1. Singing: Creates vibrations that stimulate the vagus2. Essential Oils: Applied diluted behind the ears3. Digestive Bitters: Trigger vagal firing4. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Provide building blocks for nerve structureThe Holistic ApproachRather than isolated "hacks," assess your unique terrain. When we restore harmony to the entire ecosystem, vagal tone naturally improves, with benefits cascading throughout your physiology.Looking for deeper support?

Think strong bones are just about calcium and vitamin D? Think again. Your bones are living, ever-changing structures influenced by far more than just minerals. Mitochondrial health, blood sugar balance, and even your gut microbiome all play important roles in bone remodeling. Understanding these connections can help you maintain strong, resilient bones for life. Read on to explore the science behind bone health and the key factors that keep your skeletal system strong.www.georgebatista.com

Story at-a-glance Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key driver of neurodegeneration, with research showing that a single resting cortical neuron requires 4.7 billion ATP molecules every second for energy When mitochondria lose their efficient shape, electrons escape and form reactive oxygen species (ROS), triggering cellular damage and stress that particularly affects brain cells Research shows 42% of adults over 55 develop dementia by age 95, with projected new cases expected to double from 514,000 in 2020 to 1 million by 2060 Mitochondria act as cellular calcium buffers — when this function fails, calcium floods cells and triggers the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, leading to widespread neuron death Key mitochondrial health strategies include eliminating seed oils, optimizing carbohydrate intake, reducing environmental toxin exposure, getting proper sun exposure and boosting NAD⁺ levels through supplements

Every so often people reach out to me and request that I cover a particular topic, relative to our favorite subjects on this podcast. So today we are going to take a deep dive into some of those topics that were requested by some of your fellow TRLR listeners. The first topic is red light therapy (RLT) for tendinopathy ​(i.e. pain from overuse in tendons), where I discuss the mechanisms of how RLT​ has the potential to help heal this type of an injury, review the most relevant research and then provide some practical application for what a real treatment would look like with a RLT devce.The second topic is how to apply The Mitochondrial Triad for fertility.​​ I first examine the role that mitochondrial dysfunction plays in facilitating low fertility rates and then scrutinize how/why RLT, methylene blue and C60 may have efficacious, profound potential for improving and optimizing fertility — both from the female and male perspective. I also offer some practical application for each aspect of The Mitochondrial for women and men.​​ If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.
