Episode 032 — Gut vs. Mitochondria: How to Know Where Your Symptoms Are Coming From
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Is it your gut—or your mitochondria? Picking the right starting point can save months of effort.
We map gut-driven vs. mito-driven patterns; how butyrate and mitochondrial signaling cross-talk; and how layered drift happens. Then we teach you to triage with patterns (meals vs. exertion, fasting response, stool changes) and a minimalist set of tests (stool panel, zonulin, calprotectin; OAT, lactate:pyruvate, HRV; plus ferritin, B12/MMA, hs-CRP, fasting insulin/glucose).
