What if the key to reversing chronic disease, slowing cognitive decline, and boosting energy lies in the tiny powerhouses inside your cells—and we’ve finally found a way to protect them? </p> We know mitochondria power our cells, but did you know they also create oxidative stress as they generate energy? Protecting mitochondrial health is critical—but most antioxidants can't reach inside the mitochondria where protection is needed most—until now. MitoQ, a scientifically advanced, mitochondria-targeted antioxidant developed by visionary researchers in New Zealand penetrates mitochondria up to 90%, offering protection where it's needed most. </p> In this episode with Dr. Siobhan Mitchell, we dive into how MitoQ is transforming the way we tackle chronic disease, inflammation, and cognitive decline. From improving heart health to supporting brain function, MitoQ is changing the game. It’s something I’m using personally and recommending to most of my patients. Listen in to discover how this powerful tool can help you support your patients at the cellular level—before symptoms even appear. ~DrKF </p> <p>Check out the show notes at https://tinyurl.com/2t55s3y3 for the full list of links and resources.</p> </div> <h2>GUEST DETAILS</h2> Dr Siobhan Mitchell, PhD., MitoQ Chief Scientific Officer Email: [email protected] </p> Holding a PhD in neuroscience from SUNY Albany, Siobhan Mitchell has also completed a post-doctoral fellowship on brain aging at the University of Washington. She has over 15 years of clinical research experience, seven patents on mood and cognitive food products, and has authored over 50 papers on aging, brain health, nutrition, metabolic health and more. With a personal passion for brain aging research, Siobhan has worked on metabolic and skin health, appetite, sports physiology and of cellular health –which she now focuses on as the Chief Scientific Officer for research-backed cellular health company, MitoQ – creators of the world’s first mitochondria-targeted antioxidant. </p> <h2>THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR</h2> <p><strong>MitoQ: https://www.mitoQ.com/partner [email protected] <p> OFFER FOR NEW FRONTIERS LISTENERS <p> Practitioners - Sign up to become a MitoQ Partner, access wholesale rates, and Unlock Cellular Health for your Patients by going to https://www.mitoq.com/partner <h2>CONNECT WITH DrKF</h2> <div class="social-links"> Want more?

Join me for a fascinating conversation around an exciting breakthrough in dementia detection that’s offering real hope for early intervention. Dr. Hans Frykman, Chief Scientific Officer at Neurocode Laboratories, is here to share groundbreaking insights into cutting-edge biomarkers that can identify pathology associated with Alzheimer's disease before symptoms even appear. What’s even more fascinating is how these same tools are revealing neuroinflammation caused by infections, including COVID, Lyme disease, and mold exposure—issues that are incredibly relevant in functional medicine today. The assays Dr. Frykman and his team have developed, and continue to research, are transforming the way we think about diagnosing and addressing neurodegeneration. We’re talking about a potential game-changer that allows us to intervene earlier, reverse damage, and ultimately improve the trajectory of these conditions. This is an extraordinary time in science and medicine, and the work we’re discussing today is at the forefront of it all. Don’t miss out on how this could reshape your practice. ~DrKF </p> <p>Check out the show notes at https://tinyurl.com/2t55s3y3 for the full list of links and resources.</p> </p> <h2>GUEST DETAILS</h2> Dr. Hans Frykman, MD PhD FRCPC [email protected] </p> Hans Frykman MD, Ph.D., FRCPC is the founder, CEO, and medical director of BC Neuroimmunology Lab located in the UBC hospital on the University of BC campus in Vancouver BC.

We’re witnessing an exciting shift in how we understand gut health and disease—and it’s all thanks to the powerful metabolites produced by the microbiome, like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and secondary bile acids. In today’s episode, Dr. Tom Fabian shares groundbreaking insights into how these postbiotics influence intestinal barrier integrity, immune balance, and even muscle regeneration. These compounds are also connected to key processes like glucose metabolism and healthy aging. What’s truly fascinating is how this science is opening up new frontiers in treating IBS, metabolic conditions, and chronic gut issues. With the upcoming launch of Diagnostic Solution Laboratories’ StoolOMX test, an add-on to the GI-MAP, we now have a tool to measure these metabolites in clinical practice, making personalized and effective treatments more attainable. This is a pivotal moment in functional medicine that you don’t want to miss. ~DrKF </p> FOLLOW ALONG WITH THE CONVERSATION! </p> Get the Updated GI-MAP® Guide with StoolOMX™ Insights! The new GI-MAP® Guide now includes StoolOMX™ insights on bile acids and short-chain fatty acids, enhancing your understanding of IBS, IBD, and gut motility.
