Mitochondrial Dysfunction: A Functional Medicine Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment: Get Rid of Fat, Fatigue, and Brain Fog

I stumbled through figuring out what mitochondrial dysfunction was and discovered (on my own) some of the recommendations in this book after HOURS of research over 12 months or more. This book really is a goldmine of knowledge and I would have been better sooner (with much time and money saved) had I had this book sooner. Be prepared to have to heal yourself / blaze your own path to therapy because in my experience, the oodles of doctors I've seen do not have this knowledge. It seems the best they can do after they run out of ideas is tell you you're imaging things. I'll tell you what's crazy - believing them. I'm sure glad I didn't. And I'm glad the author shared his knowledge and experience in this book. It's worth reading just to be prepared incase "long COVID" knocks you down. A virus is what got me. It can happen to anyone.

The author of this book is writing from self-experience. I enjoy the way the author has taken a very complex study and made it manageable. I usually don't read books of this nature but in fact I found it very usual and have picked up some practices that I will implement into my lifestyle. Dr Chang takes you through the following: • Structure & Function • Prevention • Nutrition • Supplements • Lifestyle • Functional Medicine (what it is and how to implement) • MITOCHONDRIAL DISEASES Functional Medicine is a holistic approach to healing. Focusing on diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes. I think this is a key practice that everybody should implement into their lifestyle to ensure a healthy happy life.

Valuable personal information was shared which was relatable. The technical explanations could have been followed with a short layman terms for clarity a bit more.

If you're health is important to you. This is a must read.

I have a chronic fatigue and I am getting much better under the supervision of a functional medicine doctor. This book helps me further understand the pathophysiology of my condition and ways to reverse it through holistic approach including proper nutrition and stress management. Well written and very insightful! This book is a great investment for both patients and health professionals!

As the licensed acupuncturist Dr Chang mentioned in his book, I was honored to be a part of Dr Chang’s journey to seek a non-drug solution to his health challenge. Dr Chang did an incredible job in an attempt to simplify an extremely complex subject for the lay audience. On the other hand, in my opinion, the breadth and depth of this book can also qualify to be a textbook for medical students. I learned a lot about this fascinating and critical subject myself also from reading Dr Chang’s book. Mitochondrial dysfunction is indeed at the core as the fundamental basis for most of today’s common chronic diseases. I especially enjoyed learning about how the functional medicine tests help identify the root causes and imbalances in the various systems of the body. That is why I like to support my clients with the integrative medicine approach by collaborating with functional medicine practitioners like Dr Chang because the functional medicine tests provide concrete quantitative evidence that best compliment our qualitative diagnostic methods on the energetic levels in our Chinese medicine practice. They serve as solid baseline and good objective measurements for evaluating our clients’ progress during the treatment process. I highly recommend this book for anyone who are seeking solutions to their health challenges with integrative medicine.

This is the most comprehensive, holistic, all-inclusive health book I have EVER seen, and I have many. It covers EVERYTHING imaginable when it comes to your health, both physical AND mental, and in a very concise way, no rambling at the mouth like some authors. A MUST have for anyone truly caring about getting and staying well.

The author explains in relatively brief terms the core causes and remedies for dysfunctional mitochondria. I like his straightforward approach and physiological explanations of the root causes of most health concerns. Many of these I had heard of but appreciated the concise descriptions and ways he connected them to the mitochondrial processes critical to maintaining health. Good descriptions for tackling the restoration of the mitochondria and a few case studies, besides his own journey. Overall, I highly recommend this book for individuals looking to understand why they feel like crap and how to begin healing.

Its a very good description of how the body works according to specialist instead of average GPs lack of Knowledge

Really good book, lots of great information

In this book, as its title implies, Dr. Chang presents an extremely comprehensive overview of both mitochondrial function amd dysfunction; comprising details of harmful lifestyle choices and appropriate interventions and measures that can be employed everyday by everybody to promote better health. Through the lens of the functional medicine approach to the many problems which have mitochondrial dysfunction as their cause, Michael Chang presents a catalogue of the various strategies at the cutting-edge of our scientific knowledge which can be successfully applied to return us to good health. This is a tour-de-force and one-of-its-kind examination of how symptom, cause and remedy can all be linked centering around the understanding of mitochondria.

I went to to section on Red Light Therapy and read that he adds his collagen supplemento to his morning coffee. That would be the first error, the heat of his morning coffee. The rest just seems like a collection of everything I've ever read.
