While its main function is to carry out cellular respiration, a process that converts nutrients from food into ATP, there are many other functions mitochondria perform, including metabolic signaling, calcium regulation, autophagy (cellular clean-up) and apoptosis (cell death), neurogenesis (growth of new nerve tissue) and neuronal plasticity (aka neuroplasticity- our brains ability to grow and adapt), as well as the synthesis of other molecules (especially those in the immune system)
This involves a low glycemic index diet, exercise, therapies that help reduce excess androgens and estrogens, targeting insulin resistance and antioxidant status, acupuncture/electoacupuncture, and improving the luteal phase (progesterone balance)
