Mitochondria Episodes

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.

Mitochondria lie at the center of life. At conception, we inherit our mother's mitochondrial DNA and our electricity for life is turned on. The mitochondrial journey is much like our life's journey. In fact, as we age the mitochondrial volume and output may start to decline and we then start to experience the effects of aging. In this episode, Dr. Chris Meletis, author of the book, MitoLongevity,speaks with us deeply about the role of mitochondria in health. We discuss the mitochondrial role in the immune system, inflammation, hormonal health, and mental health. We discuss evaluation for mitochondrial decline, nutrition and lifestyle factors, and so much more. enjoy...
