Dr. Datis Kharrazian on Mitochondria, Brain Fatigue, and Autoimmunity
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell which function to make ATP and energy. Their role in chronic disease is widely studied and often overlooked. Symptoms and root causes of mitochondrial dysfunction can be difficult to pinpoint in your patients. When it comes to relating this to brain fatigue or thyroid dysfunction, Dr. Datis Kharrazian is an expert. He has written several books and lectured extensively on these topics.
In this episode, Dr. Kharrazian outlines his approach to chronic disease using the lost art of the physical exam, laboratory assessments, and a review of current literature. Learn how he uses subtle clues to uncover root causes and what he does to improve patient outcomes.
“One of your best windows to assess mitochondrial compromise is to look at the brain.” – Dr. Datis Kharrazian
