Presentation Description:
Mitochondrial dysfunction is connected with many medical conditions, including depression, bipolarity, ADHD, autism, and OCD. It can also be the source of unexplained hyperglycemia, inflammation, heavy metal toxicity, and mold. In this presentation, Dr. Bongiorno will review ideal clinical intake questions and laboratory testing to identify and diagnose mitochondrial dysfunction. There will be a discussion on evidence based lifestyle, food, and natural therapies that will help heal the mitochondria and therefore the whole person, that the practitioner can implement immediately.
