Mitochondrial Dysfunction - Sunshine Coast Naturopathy

2/22/2018

 
Picture
​Each cell requires energy to function. This energy is manufactured by tiny energy factories within the cell called mitochondria. The more energy a cell needs the more mitochondria it will have, and the more you demand of your muscles through exercise the more mitochondria they will build to supply that need. This process is called mitochondrial bio-genesis. If you are feeling tired, or exhausted after exercise you may have a degree of mitochondrial dysfunction.
 


Mitochondrial Function is typically impaired in 3 ways:
1.         Deficiency of Nutritional Substrate ie vitamins & specific antioxidants
2.         Disruption by - Chemicals & Heavy Metals which deposit in fatty membranes
                                  - Infection - Epstein Barr / Ross River / Barmah Forrest / Borrelia (Lyme’s)
3.         Oxidative damage to mitochondrial membranes or mitochondrial DNA
 
Mitochondrial Repair Program
1.       Optimize energy production in Mitochondria with essential nutritional substrates
2.       Restore mitochondrial membrane fluidity with high quality fatty acids
3.       Reduce free radical damage to mitochondrial DNA with antioxidants
