South West Branch Event – 3rd October 2020
\nMitochondrial Health (4 CPD hrs)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Event Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gilian Crowther examines the myriad roles of the mitochondria in our cells, from miracle powerhouses to signal transmitters involved in the pathways of every chronic disease. Gilian will highlight the lesser known function of mitochondrial ATP as a light sensor. She will also touch on the central importance of mitochondria in the recently elucidated Cell Danger Response and outline specific therapeutic approaches that can support the biophoton interaction of the mitochondria and help trigger the electron transport chain \u2013 our key source of energy \u2013 back into action.<\/em><\/p>\n

Next, Ray Griffiths will explore mitochondria\u2019s role in mental wellbeing, depression and neurodegeneration The human brain exclusively relies on mitochondria to supply the energy it needs to power neurons and help maintain synapses and dendrites. If our brain cannot meet its energy needs, then neurons are likely to die and so predispose us to depression and neurodegenerative disease.<\/em><\/p>\n

Finally, Dr Sarah Myhill will detail the early symptoms that indicate mitochondrial disorders and how they can be effectively addressed. She will explain how mitochondria are implicated in all Western pathology from CFS\/ME, poor immunity and longevity to diabetes, arterial disease, cancer and dementia and outline approaches to restore health.<\/em><\/p>\n
