Description

At the center of every cell lies a powerhouse with a profound impact on your health: the mitochondrion. In this fascinating course, Dr. Howard Benedikt explores how these tiny organelles do more than produce energy—they’re at the crossroads of vitality and dysfunction, influencing everything from aging and metabolism to inflammation and chronic disease. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of mitochondrial function, dysfunction, and the systemic consequences when these powerhouses fail. Learn how to identify signs of mitochondrial stress and support optimal cellular energy through nutritional strategies, lifestyle interventions, and clinical tools that promote resilience and repair. Whether you're treating fatigue, neurodegeneration, or chronic inflammation, this course connects the dots between mitochondrial health and the body’s most essential systems. In this course, you’ll learn to: Understand the role of mitochondria in energy production and cellular health Recognize how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to disease and aging Identify clinical indicators of mitochondrial stress Apply strategies to support mitochondrial function and optimize patient outcomes Support your patients at the cellular level—because health starts with energy.
