Welcome to our whole person care webinar series on mitochondrial health. Each series includes three focused 30-minute sessions that explore practical approaches related to lab testing, supplement ingredients, and lifestyle medicine—supporting a comprehensive care approach.
Session #1: Using a cellular assessment to optimize our mitochondria
Most functional medicine clinicians are familiar with the important role that mitochondria play in cells, but identifying mitochondrial dysfunction in patients can be difficult. Given that mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of the aging process, clinicians focusing on patient longevity should be interested in optimizing mitochondrial health.
In this session, Dr. Chapman will go over how mitochondria are damaged and hallmark ways to mitigate this damage using metabolomic and micronutrient testing. He’ll discuss the main culprits behind mitochondrial dysfunction and go over diet and lifestyle strategies to preserve and optimize mitochondrial health, promoting longevity and reducing the risk of chronic disease.
Speaker: Dr. Michael Chapman, ND
Director of Product Innovation, Genova Diagnostics
Key points:
- Understand the causes of mitochondrial dysfunction.
- Learn how to identify mitochondrial damage using metabolomic and micronutrient testing.
- Explore the relevance of mitochondrial decline in aging and chronic disease.
- Gain practical strategies in diet and lifestyle to optimize mitochondrial function for longevity.
Session #2: Breaking the cycle of mitochondrial dysfunction
Mitochondria are critical to human physiology—from ATP production to metabolic regulation, immune signaling, and programmed cell death. In this webinar, we’ll examine their central role in health and disease, with a focus on how membrane integrity, inflammation, and oxidative stress influence cellular resilience. We’ll also highlight evidence-based nutraceutical strategies to support mitochondrial function in clinical practice, offering practical insights into the foundations and functional restoration of mitochondrial health.
Speaker: Dr. Sarah Daglis, ND, MS
Clinical Consultant, Researched Nutritionals
Key points:
- Mitochondria function far beyond energy metabolism, controlling cellular adaptation, survival, and communication.
- Mitochondrial dysfunction is a central driver in many chronic conditions, including fatigue, neurodegeneration, metabolic disorders, and more.
- Maintaining mitochondrial membrane integrity is essential to their functional efficiency and resistance to damage.
- Targeted nutrients—including membrane-supportive phospholipids, glutathione, CoQ10, and PQQ—can help restore mitochondrial performance and resilience.
Session #3: Streamlining whole person care: Clinical tools for mitochondrial health
Discover how to support mitochondrial health through a whole person care approach. In this session, we’ll walk providers through a practical, evidence-based framework designed to be easily implemented in your practice so you can start applying what you’ve learned to deliver personalized, effective care.
