Episode 032 — Gut vs. Mitochondria: How to Know Where Your Symptoms Are Coming From
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).
