In this monologue, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden explains that mitochondrial dysfunction is a prevalent issue among his patients, attributing it to chronic infections, mold exposure, heavy metal toxicity, and ongoing inflammation. He emphasizes that impaired mitochondria compromise cellular health, leading to cell death and premature aging. To counteract this, he advocates for targeted supplementation, proper hydration, and a diet that supports mitochondrial function, noting that fatigue often reflects the body's protective decision to conserve energy when mitochondria are under stress.

The vast majority of my patients are going to be coming to see me are going to have a mitochondrial dysfunction. You know, it's going to be come from the chronic infections, the mold, the heavy metals, the chronic inflammation. All of those things are going to affect the mitochondria. And so again, you know, supplementation— I'm big in supplements. Supplementation is going to be so important to correct these mitochondria. You know, getting back to everything I just said about drinking water, eating the right types of foods, really trying to help your body to create the best part of yourselves. Because that mitochondria is the workhorse of every single cell. And if that mitochondria is not working properly, that cell is going to die. And that's going to cause premature death, which is really frightening. You know, sometimes fatigue is, you know, it's not so much of a lack of energy production, but it's actually the body's decision to conserve energy because it detects the danger that's going on within that mitochondria.
