Why You Need The Mitochondria Mastery Course:
The mitochondria are known as the energy production factories of a cell. Through their sophisticated biochemical reactions, the mitochondria produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a critical chemical used throughout the cell and the entire organism for various metabolic and physiological actions. For example, the heart needs about 700 milligrams of ATP which is needed to fuel one beat per second for ten seconds.
Minimally, the heart requires approximately 6 grams of ATP every day to function normally. The heart is the most metabolically active and demanding organ in the body and each heart cell contains thousands of mitochondria.This same ATP is required elsewhere, too, in other high demand body areas such as the gastrointestinal, immune, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems. The amount of ATP needed daily for normal function is almost incalculable. When problems occur in the mitochondria from intrinsic biochemical dysregulation or outside influences such as environmental toxins, an individual’s health is greatly compromised. Many chronic health conditions such as autism, Alzheimer’s disease, autoimmunity, cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue, diabetes, neurological problems, etc. are now, in part, recognized to be linked to mitochondria dysfunction.
A deep understanding of the mitochondria’s normal function is critically important for any health professional, particularly those involved in functional and integrative medicine. Once this knowledge is established it becomes easier to recognize the multitude of factors that cause mitochondrial problems and then intervention and therapeutic strategies to help the situation.
This, in essence, is the focus of the Mitochondria Mastery Course.
What Are Mitochondria?
Mitochondria are a double membrane organelle found in most eukaryotic (contain a nucleus) organisms. Within the human body they are replete in high metabolic organ systems such as the heart, liver, and muscles. Through their generation of ATP, the mitochondria stand at the center of cellular metabolic activity for energy production and maintenance. However, mitochondria are vulnerable to damage from various things such as poor nutrition, oxidative stress, environmental toxins, heavy metals like lead and mercury, inflammation, and mycotoxins (mold toxins).
Does The Mitochondria Do More Than Just Produce ATP?
The mitochondria are more than just producers of ATP. In addition, these organelles function in cellular signaling, maintain and regulate cellular division and growth, and normal cell death. The ability of mitochondria to regenerate through a process called mitochondrial biogenesis or mitogenesis is an important component in mitochondria function and preservation of health. Mitochondria also are involved in calcium signaling and storage, membrane potential regulation, heme production, and steroid synthesis, immune and hormone signaling, and much more. Fundamentally and very importantly, the mitochondria are necessary for producing energy for physical movement and activity.
What Is An Example Of An Environmental Toxin Affecting Mitochondria Function?
Certain mycotoxins of mold can directly damage mitochondria. For example, Gliotoxin, linked to aspergillus mold, directly damages mitochondria through reactive oxygen species production. A powerful mycotoxin called T-2 derived from Fusarium mold creates mitochondria membrane instability triggering apoptosis (programmed cell death) with the release of an integral inner membrane protein called Cytochome c. There are many other examples of environmental toxins and their adverse effects on mitochondrial function that are discussed in the Mitochondria Mastery Course.
What Conditions Are Linked To Mitochondria Problems?
The list of conditions is extensive, but here are some of the more common disorders and diseases known to be associated with mitochondria dysfunction:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Cancer
Autoimmune Diseases Such as Multiple Sclerosis
Cardiovascular Diseases Such as Atherosclerosis & Other Heart & Vascular Conditions
Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome
Gastrointestinal Disorders
Neurobehavioral & psychiatric conditions like autism & depression
Neurodegenerative diseases: Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, ALS, etc.
Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome
Musculoskeletal Disorders
