How Do Mitochondria Respond To Health And Disease? | Eric D. Gordon, MD
What if your mitochondria aren't broken, but rather stuck in defense mode? What if chronic illness isn't about damaged cells, but about cells that can't sense safety anymore? Dr. Eric Gordon has spent over 40 years in the trenches of complex chronic illness, working with thousands of patients who didn't fit into conventional medicine's boxes. He's one of the deepest thinkers in functional medicine and an original voice who has witnessed and worked through every health fad out there. In this conversation, he explains why mitochondrial support sometimes backfires, why your body gets stuck in chronic illness patterns like a "neurotic loop," and most importantly, how to give your cells the safety signals they need to heal.

Muscle Is the Organ of Longevity: The Link Between Muscle Health and Mitochondria with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon
The key to longevity, energy, and metabolic health isn't found in your heart, liver, or brain…but in your muscles. Amazingly, your muscles make up the largest organ system in your body and, importantly, the primary home of your mitochondria. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is a fellowship-trained physician in nutritional science and geriatrics who is revolutionizing our understanding of muscle as the organ of longevity. Her work reveals why skeletal muscle is the only organ system we have direct control over. In this conversation, she explains the shocking 400% difference in mitochondrial capacity between athletes and people with metabolic syndrome, why the "healthy sedentary" person doesn't exist, and her proven protocol for eating and training to optimize both muscle and mitochondrial health.

From Cell Danger Response to Cellular Safety: A Revolutionary Approach to Trauma with Dr. Aimie Apigian
What if the popular narrative about trauma is incomplete? What if trauma isn't just a psychological phenomenon, but a fundamentally biological process that gets encoded in your cells, mitochondria, and nervous system? Dr. Aimie Apigian is a double board-certified physician in preventive and addiction medicine who's revolutionizing how we understand and treat trauma. Her groundbreaking new book, "The Biology of Trauma," reveals the hidden physiological mechanisms behind trauma responses. In this conversation, she explains where traditional talk therapy falls short, how trauma creates a feedback loop of oxidative stress and cellular shutdown, and her innovative approach to healing trauma from the inside out, starting with cellular safety before diving into the emotional work.
