Metabolic Fitness Pro – All About Mitochondria

After taking this course, you have the tools to evaluate and manage mitochondrial issues in your patients. You’ll have:

✅A complete, current, and applicable understanding of the mitochondria

✅The ability to assess oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction

✅Numerous therapeutic interventions to support healthy mitochondria

“It is not an overstatement to say these courses have been the best academic and clinical learning experience I have ever had. Given the number of years I’ve spent in school as well as the countless seminars and conferences that I’ve attended with some of the best in our field, that is saying quite a lot.”

Course Details

Module 1

Introduction to the Mitochondria

Before we go deep into the world of the mitochondria, we need to take a historical, and current look, at theories and concepts surrounding the mitochondria. What they are, where they come from, and what science has said about them throughout history.

Module 2

Basic Biochemical Processes of the Mitochondria

In this module, we will take a detailed look at the citric acid cycle and beta-oxidation, to help us prepare for the next module of the electron transport chain. Learn how we make and use ATP.

Module 3

The Electron Transport Chain

We dedicated an entire module to the electron transport chain because of how much there is to know about it and frankly, because it is so cool. When people talk about the electron transport chain, you’ll know exactly (and probably more) what they are talking about.

Module 4

A Critical Look At Antioxidants

It turns out the scientific and nutritional world has been very wrong when it comes to free radical and antioxidants. Here we explore the latest scientific information about these controversial topics.

Module 5

Additional Functions of the Mitochondria

In recent years the mitochondria have been found to do much more than simply be the “powerhouse of the cell”. Here we explore many of the “new” functions of the mitochondria, including in cell signalling, cell death, and the immune system.

Module 6

Mitochondrial Dysfunction

This important module covers all the potential causes of mitochondrial dysfunction which, if not properly understood and identified, will make “fixing” the mitochondria very difficult. Multiple potential causes will be discussed.

Module 7

Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Disease

Mitochondrial dysfunction is said to be associated with over 200 chronic conditions. In this module, we discuss some of the mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction in a handful of the more common chronic conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes, neurodegeneration, and more.

Module 8

Mitochondrial Assessments

In one of the more important modules, we take a critical look into the scientific literature at the state of mitochondrial assessments, including what is helpful and accurate, and which are not.

Module 9

Mitochondrial Interventions

Supporting optimally healthy mitochondria goes well beyond simply supplementing with “mitochondrial nutrients”. The scientific literature is full of numerous potential mitochondrial interventions including diet, exercise, uncoupling, mitophagy, and more.

Module 10

Review

In this final module, we review and cover all the major topics covered in this extensive course, including how to utilize this information and put it all together.
