In this episode of the Longevity Formula, Dr. Brandon Crawford explores whether autism is a neurological or mitochondrial disorder. He introduces mitochondrial heteroplasmy as a critical concept and explains the intricate workings of the electron transport chain. Dr. Crawford also discusses the impact of light exposure on neurological development and how modern technology has altered our environment, leading to increased cases of chronic conditions like autism and autoimmune diseases.

He details the critical role of circadian biology and the detrimental effects of non-native EMF and blue light on our mitochondrial function. Strategies for improving mitochondrial health through proper light exposure, seasonal and local eating habits, and cold thermogenesis are discussed, offering actionable steps to combat the rise in neurological and inflammatory disorders.
