Key Takeaways: How many ATP are in a given cell in various tissue types in the body? What are key symptoms of mitochondrial dysfunction? What is the connection between mitochondria and adrenal or thyroid dysfunction? Is there a connection between our nervous system, sympathetic dominance, and mitochondria? Do microbes and toxins impact mitochondrial function? How does ATP as the danger signal in the Cell Danger Response model fit in with an attempt to support the mitochondria? Does mitochondrial dysfunction play a role in dysautonomia, POTS, or EDS? Do antibiotics or other medications such as Disulfiram or Cholestyramine negatively impact mitochondria? Can mitochondrial support improve those with damage from fluoroquinolones? What options are available for testing mitochondrial function? How is mitochondrial dysfunction treated? How can mitochondrial biogenesis be stimulated? What is the role of NAD in supporting the mitochondria? Does reduction of blue light at night benefit the mitochondria?
