Introduction

What if your mitochondria aren't broken, but rather stuck in defense mode? What if chronic illness isn't about damaged cells, but about cells that can't sense safety anymore?

Dr. Eric Gordon has spent over 40 years in the trenches of complex chronic illness, working with thousands of patients who didn't fit into conventional medicine's boxes. He's one of the deepest thinkers in functional medicine and an original voice who has witnessed and worked through every health fad out there.

In this conversation, he explains why mitochondrial support sometimes backfires, why your body gets stuck in chronic illness patterns like a "neurotic loop," and most importantly, how to give your cells the safety signals they need to heal.
