This episode continues the conversation with the BetterHealthGuy and Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, PhD, exploring shared biochemical patterns across conditions such as autism, PANS/PANDAS, chronic Lyme, mold illness, and neurodegenerative diseases. The discussion examines how metabolic dysfunction, lipid imbalances, and oxidative stress contribute to loss of resilience and disease progression. Dr. Goodenowe also discusses early detection through advanced biomarkers and testing, as well as targeted strategies to support mitochondrial and cellular function.
In This Episode
- Similarities across autism, PANS/PANDAS, chronic Lyme, mold illness, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, MS, and ALS
- Prodromes as early loss of resilience and deviation from health
- Aging as biochemical insufficiency rather than programmed disease
- Mitochondrial function, lipid membranes, and metabolic sufficiency
- Oxidative stress and inflammatory burden in chronic illness
- ProdromeScan and BioMetrix Bioscan comparisons
- Biomarkers linked to peroxisomal dysfunction and low plasmalogens
- NAD, niacin, spermidine, and urolithin A in cellular function
- Alzheimer’s mechanisms, including plasmalogen depletion and methylation stress
- Phosphatidylcholine and choline in acetylcholine and membrane health
- Brain volumetrics, cortical thickness, and white matter density
- Methylation support including B12, folate, TMG, NAC, and creatine
- Traumatic brain injury and plasmalogens in structural recovery
- Long COVID and chronic illness through mitochondrial dysfunction
