Episode 134: The Hidden Energy Crisis Behind Brain Fog, Autism & Chronic Illness with Dr. Kurt Woeller

What if the root cause of brain fog, chronic illness—and even autism—wasn’t just neurological… but a metabolic problem at the cellular level? In this episode, Dr. Adam Rinde sits down with Dr. Kurt Woeller, Chief Medical Officer at Mosaic Diagnostics, to break down the critical role of mitochondria in complex chronic conditions. From fatigue and gut dysfunction to regressive autism, this conversation explores how mitochondrial dysfunction may be a hidden driver behind it all. You’ll learn how the Organic Acids Test (OAT) provides a powerful window into metabolic health, revealing patterns that can guide targeted treatment—and why markers like succinic acid can signal deeper dysfunction. Dr. Woeller also shares how advanced tools like the MitoSwab can uncover issues within the electron transport chain, and why healing isn’t something you can force—but something you must support.
