Course Overview
Instructor
Dr. Howard Benedikt DC, DCBCNThis 2-hour course delivers a clinically grounded, functional medicine–based exploration of mitochondrial dysfunction and the Cell Danger Response (CDR) as root drivers of chronic inflammation, pain syndromes, fatigue, neuroimmune dysregulation, and complex chronic disease. Designed for clinicians working with patients who fail to fully respond to conventional care, this course reframes mitochondria as dynamic metabolic and immune signaling hubs—not just ATP generators. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how infections, toxins, metabolic stress, gut dysfunction, and psychological stress impair mitochondrial signaling, lock the body into a chronic danger state, and perpetuate inflammation, pain, and immune imbalance. The second hour translates this science directly into clinical application, emphasizing pattern recognition, laboratory assessment, and targeted intervention strategies. Participants will learn how to identify clinical and biochemical markers of unresolved CDR, including inflammatory signaling, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial strain, and how these patterns show up in conditions such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, autoimmunity, and neuroinflammation. Practical nutritional and lifestyle strategies are presented to support mitochondrial recovery, immune regulation, and inflammatory resolution, empowering clinicians with actionable tools they can apply immediately in practice to improve outcomes in complex, chronic cases.
What You'll Learn
