Mitochondrial energy is at the heart of cellular health, impacting longevity, chronic disease, fatigue, and more.
Where to start?
Members: Be sure to check out the Mitochondria Topic Summary for a quick overview of all your genetic variants related to your athletics and exercise.
Glutathione is an antioxidant produced in all cells to balance out ROS. Genetic variants can impact your glutathione levels, which can alter your ability to detoxify certain substances or withstand stressors in the body.
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase is central to cellular energy production. Learn about its role in energy production, genetic mutations, association with ME/CFS and Long Covid, and strategies to manage its deficiencies.
Exposure to certain kinds of mold can cause chronic, negative health effects. Discover how genetic variants impact the ability to handle mycotoxins.
Creatine is an amino acid used in muscle tissue and the brain for energy in times of stress. Genes play a role in creatine synthesis. Find out what the research shows about creatine supplements for muscle mass and cognitive function.
Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is a cofactor that aids in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Biotin deficiency due to diet is pretty rare, but there are genetic variants that can increase your risk for biotin deficiency or insufficiency.
Understand the connection between statin use and brain fog. Dive into the research on how cholesterol-lowering drugs impact cognitive health and memory.
CoQ10, or ubiquinone, is an integral part of mitochondrial energy production. It is also used as a lipid-soluble antioxidant. Learn how age and genes affect it.
Supplementing with Alpha-ketoglutarate (αKG) might be beneficial for longevity since it plays a role in energy production and inflammation reduction.
How we age is just as important as how long we live. Examine how sirtuins play a part in the aging process by how they regulate our cellular health.
Trying to get pregnant? Healthy eggs are vital for a successful pregnancy. Discover four key ways to improve your egg quality, according to research studies.
MS susceptibility is linked to both genetic causes and environmental factors. Learn how those two combine – and possible solutions.
Arsenic exposure occurs via well water, in certain foods, and through breathing. This article covers the pathways the body uses to get rid of arsenic, and it includes information on genetic variants that may impair the detoxification of arsenic.
Also known as vitamin B1, thiamine is essential for energy production and brain function. Learn how your genes influence your need for thiamine.
How does mitochondrial dysfunction relate to major depressive disorder? Learn about the causes of mitochondrial dysfunction as well as genetic variants that link the risk of depression to the mitochondria.
If you have tried fasting or perhaps a ketogenic diet and felt horrible, there could be a genetic reason. You might carry a genetic mutation that causes SCADD (short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency).
Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency is an “inborn error of metabolism” which impairs the body’s ability to break down medium-chain fatty acids for fuel. Learn more about this metabolic disorder.
