Dr. Tim Jackson, DPT is a medical practitioner who realized traditional means of manual therapy and orthopedic care benefited only some of his patients. He began to dive deeper into the concept of overall wellness and gained knowledge about functional and environmental medicine, as well as digestive health.
In today's episode, Tim talks about Mitochondrial Dysfunction and how just about every disease known to man is caused by issues with mitochondria. He also recommends supplements people should take to make sure your body's mitochondrial health is up and running.
"A classic sign of Mitochondrial Dysfunction is if you have multisystemic involvement." Dr. Tim Jackson

- L-Carnitine and glutathione are great supplements to take when you want to improve mitochondrial health and efficiency.
- The more you have symptoms in varying systems the more likely are you to have mitochondrial dysfunction.
