MITOCHONDRIAL DYSFUNCTION

Description

The book begins with my own health journey through mitochondrial fatigue and how I overcame it with the functional medicine approach to diagnosis and treatment. The first two chapters discuss the basic science of the mitochondria and their involvement in cell defense, energy production, aging, and cancer. The following chapters deals with the avoidance of chemicals, pesticides, and toxins that poison the mitochondria, food to nourish them, supplements, and hormetic lifestyle changes. The next chapter details the functional medicine approach to patient's symptoms using lab testing to arrive at the diagnosis and treatment. The book concludes with a summary of actionable items that the reader can do at home. If you suffer from chronic fatigue, excess fat that you can't lose, brain fog, or any number of symptoms, the answer might just lie deep in your cell called mitochondria. They are responsible to make energy called ATP for the cell to function. If they sense danger to the cell and to themselves, they will shut down ATP production and go into cell defense mode, resulting in generalized dysfunction of the most active cells like the muscles and brain. You can now reverse this process using a validated method by the Mayo Clinic. Dr. Chang has personally gone through a health journey of mitochondrial dysfunction and fatigue and by applying the methods in the book, he has fully recovered. Review: A must read if you are suffering physically! - This book is just what we need. It is a must read. The information in this book explains the source of a lot of our physical (and mental) suffering. The medical system focuses on, and treats symptoms instead of focusing on root causes. This book helps to explain a root contributing factor to many of the ailments we deal with today. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 1.5 years ago. I have read extensive information on treating this naturally. This is the first piece of information that I have found that clearly explains what is going on in my body, and better yet, what to do about it. I have already started the intermittent fasting and I feel fabulous. I love knowing 'why' and 'what to do about it' and this book clearly and concisely accomplishes both. Review: A must read - If you're health is important to you. This is a must read.
