SPEAKER: Prof. Brigitte Koenig
TITLE: The Mitochondria and Chronic Health Conditions Part II
DATE: Wednesday 27th August
TIME: 18:00 BST
18:00 CEST (Central European Time), 13:00 EDT (Eastern Time)
DESCRIPTION:
Following on from Part I, where the foundational tests ATP Profile and the Mitochondrial Health Index were covered, Professor Koenig, founder and clinical director of MMD Laboratories together with Gilian Crowther will cover the supplementary tests that are available using this unique direct testing of the mitochondria, and therapeutic approaches depending on the results.
These supplementary markers include the number of mitochondria, and how well the organism can boost that number if low using PGC1-alpha activity (our key regulator of mitochondrial biosynthesis), as well as exact quantification of the oxidative stress that has compromised mitochondrial DNA, and our endogenous Nrf-2 activity (our key antioxidant regulator). We will also look at how to identify the fuels the mitochondria are able to use at rest and under pressure, covering carbohydrates, fatty acids, and glutamine, and possible interventions.
There will also be ample time for questions.

SPEAKER: Dr. Sarah Myhill
TITLE: Water: The Single Most Important Molecule for Life – How it impacts on energy delivery mechanisms and inflammation with implications for management
DATE: Tuesday 7th October
TIME: 19:00 BST
20:00 CEST (Central European Time), 14:00 EDT (Eastern Time)
DESCRIPTION:
Water: the single most important molecule for Life – how it impacts on energy delivery mechanisms and inflammation with implications for management.
Water makes up 99% of all molecules in the body – it holds enzymes, cell membranes, and all by chemical machinery in the correct 3-dimensional shape for perfect energy delivery mechanisms. The special quality which allows this is fourth phase or exclusion zone water. The quality of EZ water directly ties in with inflammation.
This talk will discuss the physical properties of EZ water, the implications for energy delivery and inflammation and most importantly what we can do about it with respect to the prevention of disease.
