Episode Summary
Did you know that chronic fatigue is not caused by our adrenal glands? The problem actually starts in your limbic brain, and can usually be attributed to mitochondrial dysfunction. Your mitochondria are running the show when it comes to the energy in every single cell in your body, so it is crucial that you understand how best to take care of them.
Mitochondrial dysfunction can be the root cause of fatigue, weight gain, brain fog and more. Aboard-certified pathologist, laboratory medicine certified medical practitioner, author and mitochondria specialist, Dr. Michael T Chang has gone through his own journey with mitochondrial dysfunction and is passionate about sharing his knowledge.
Gut health and mitochondrial function are often found as the underlying cause of most chronic conditions as well as signs of advanced aging. Today Dr. Chang is here to explain this common condition that may account for many of your symptoms and teach you how to get a handle on your toxin level through simple lifestyle changes.
