Core Thesis
Labs are downstream of physiology. Read the story: Symptom → Marker → Mechanism → System → Intervention. When mitochondria suffer, everything suffers — the body's energy-allocation logic is reflected in every panel.
System influences
System
Influence on Mitochondria
ThyroidT3 increases mitochondrial biogenesis and oxygen consumption
AdrenalsCortisol excess increases oxidative stress and disrupts mitochondrial membrane
Glucose/InsulinInsulin resistance impairs glucose uptake, reduces mitochondrial respiration
LiverPhase I detox produces ROS; Phase II uses mitochondrial-derived nutrients (glutathione, glycine, ATP)
Immune SystemInflammatory cytokines → mitochondrial dysfunction (especially IL-6, TNF-α)
RenalElectrolyte imbalances affect mitochondrial enzyme function (Mg²⁺, K⁺, CoQ10 dependent)
Ratio signals → support
Systemic connections through ratios
NLR ↑ (>2.5)
→
Cortisol modulation: Adaptogens + Phosphatidylserine troche
NLR ↓ (<1.0)
→
Immune resilience: Reishi mushrooms, zinc, astragalus
Ferritin:CRP ↓
→
Inflammation control: Curcumin + omega-3s + NAC (liver) blend
TG:HDL ↑
→
Metabolic repair: Berberine, inositol, chromium, ALA
LDH ↑ + AST normal
→
Mitochondrial support: CoQ10, carnitine, glutathione (liposomal or injection)
Ferritin ↑ + TIBC ↓
→
Address iron block: Quercetin, lactoferrin, low-dose LDN (Rx)
