Energy under Siege – Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Chronic Borrelia Infection and How to Restore It

Professor Dr. Brigitte König will be speaking about the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in chronic Lyme disease.

Borrelia infection disrupts the mitochondria, leading to cellular energy failure and persistent symptoms. Her presentation will link mitochondrial bioenergetics to infection-driven dysfunction, showing that Borrelia is not just an infection but a multisystem energy trap, resulting in a self-perpetuating mitochondrial crisis—a component that conventional approaches often miss.

She will also provide evidence-based strategies to restore energy metabolism, reduce inflammation, and support recovery.
