Mitochondrial Resilience Educational Series
Gut–Mitochondria Crosstalk: A Systems Biology Approach to Cellular Signaling and Systemic Resilience
The science is revealing a powerful bidirectional relationship between the gut and mitochondria—one that may reshape how we understand systemic health.
Gut barrier integrity, microbial metabolites, inflammation, and oxidative stress can influence mitochondrial function and signaling, with effects that reach well beyond the digestive tract. Building healthy signals to optimize gut–mitochondrial crosstalk is essential to building mitochondrial resilience.
Join Dennis Schoen, Founder and CEO of Researched Nutritionals®, and Lisa Portera, DC, FMCP, Director of Clinical Education & Research, for Part 2 of our Mitochondrial Resilience Series. Building on the systems-biology framework introduced in our first webinar, this live conversation moves into the gut to explore how gut-derived signals shape mitochondrial communication and systemic resilience.
Register now to continue connecting the clinical dots between the gut, mitochondria, and systemic resilience.
For Healthcare Practitioners Only.
October 7 Webinar
Learning Objectives
What practitioners will take away from Gut–Mitochondria Crosstalk.
Understand how gut and barrier integrity influence mitochondrial function and signaling through microbial metabolites, inflammation, and oxidative stress.
Recognize how gut-derived metabolites shape mitochondrial communication, cellular signaling, and systemic resilience.
Apply a systems biology lens to connect gut–mitochondria crosstalk with immune, metabolic, cardiovascular, neurological, and prenatal health.
