Introducing Mitome
I'm excited to launch the first direct-to-consumer mitochondrial respiratory chain analysis and you can order it here.
I have spent the last two years doing incredibly labor-intensive analysis of comprehensive genomic and biochemical data to supercharge some of my VIP clients and I've seen some incredible results:
Julie spent seven years getting IVF treatments with no success except a quickly miscarried "chemical pregnancy." Just months after starting her protocol she for the first time developed a healthy pregnancy.
One of my clients was so tired she could barely go on walks. Weeks after adding the first supplement in her protocol (biotin) she was going on runs.
One customer whose child has severe OCD saw "the first positive improvement for many years" within the second week of the program and for the first time ever her child admitted himself that he was getting better.
These analyses take so much time that I wanted to reflect on how I could help a much larger number of people much faster.
I asked this simple question: if I were to choose one item from among all the things I test that has the greatest opportunity to get high-impact results for people all on its own, which would I pick? The answer was clear: my analysis of mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes. The mitochondrial respiratory chain is where 90% of your ATP is made, and this test can evaluate not simply how well your mitochondria works but can also tell you where your weakest link is. In numerous cases, I was able to give people simple strategies based on this test alone that led to game-changing results.
For example:
Jacqueline hadn't had her period for ten years, even though she was only 28 years old when it stopped. Her respiratory chain results showed CoQ10 was the missing bottleneck in her ATP production. Just two weeks after starting CoQ10, she got her period back.
Another client showed a pattern that indicated CoQ10 wouldn’t be able to to perform its normal function in sulfur clearance, but a CoQ10 analog called MitoQ would. CoQ10 had been unable to stop his daily energy crashes, but two capsules of MitoQ twice a day quickly eliminated them.
For a year after chemotherapy, Anita struggled with deep fatigue, brain fog, and scars that did not heal completely. When her respiratory chain results came in, I gave her some custom recommendations. In her own words, "The resulting surge of energy allowed me to start a strength training program, replacing muscle lost to muscle atrophy from chemotherapy. Scarring from treatment that was static for over a year completely healed and autoimmune issues settled down."
Miguel suffered from post-SSRI tachycardia, shortness of breath, neuropathy, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, muscle cramping, numbness, excessive urination. He saw dozens of specialists, who couldn't help him. His respiratory chain results came in, and within six weeks of implementing the major insight we got, he reported "the first time I felt normal in over two years." He wrote to me recently, "6 months later, I have regained quality of life and am able to do everything I used to be able to."
You may think, "Well anyone can try CoQ10." It's not that simple. The variation in CoQ10 needs are such that the same dose can lower blood pressure in some people but raise it in a few percent, or help improve blood sugar dramatically in some people but cause a 5-unit rise in fasting insulin in the majority. It can worsen spatial memory and age-related hearing loss in mice, and in some people cause idiosyncratic reactions such as orthostatic hypotension (faintness upon standing), acid reflux, heart palpitations, and hypocalcemia. Actually knowing whether you need CoQ10 based on the results of a high-precision advanced test is incredibly valuable. Further, there are no studies showing that CoQ10 reverses decades-long amenorrhea. This was a highly idiosyncratic power-up predicted by the testing.
To add to all of this, despite the marketing, MitoQ is not a “form of CoQ10.” In fact, it can’t fulfill most of CoQ10’s functions, and it generates hydrogen peroxide at the expense of ATP. This is not something you want to add in randomly. It’s something you want to add because you know you need it.
As a result of this overwhelming benefit, I developed Mitome, the first direct-to-consumer mitochondrial respiratory chain analysis:
Mitome partners with Mitoswab to measure five mitochondrial enzyme systems using a cheek swab and a batch of lab tests that are otherwise not available anywhere in a direct-to-consumer product.
My unique analysis of this data categorizes you into one or more of twelve patterns, using the individual enzyme system results, their combinations, and their ratios.
Some of these patterns may be combined, leading to further unique combinations.
This then assembles a protocol for you based on which patterns you exemplify, using foods, supplements, environmental exposures and medications, and lifestyle strategies.
Your report is a graphically rich explanation of your results, what they mean, how they make you unique, and how they impact your requirements. At the end, it puts together a protocol tailored to your unique "mitochondrial type."
Now, for the first time, we can measure your unique mitochondrial pattern type and reveal exactly how to enhance it.
Mitome can tell you all about your unique needs. For example:
Should you be eating high-carb or high-fat? Which macronutrient flows down the path of least resistance?
Is your iron status limiting your mitochondrial function?
Is CoQ10 going to help or hurt?
Is high-intensity interval training for you?
Are you a candidate for methylene blue?
What supplements are going to help or hurt you?
What are the most powerful optimizers for your mitochondrial function?
There are dozens more examples like this.
The Mitome mission is to be the driving force behind mitochondrial wellness, revolutionizing the way we understand and optimize human health from the cellular level. Through advanced pattern analysis, we uncover your specific cellular needs and create precise protocols to maximize your mitochondrial efficiency. It's time to learn not just how well your mitochondria function, but why they could be run down and what is the best fuel to power them and the best therapy to heal them.
