Lipid Replacement Therapy(LRT®), Fatigue and Dysbiosis – the Mitochondrial and Immune Connection By Michael E. Ash BSc DO ND and Garth L. Nicolson, PhD


On the front line of primary care the two most common complaints are fatigue and gas- trointestinal problems. Fatigue is the most common; up to 45% of consultations mention fa- tigue as the major complaint.1, 2 If unresolved, it can progress to the point that it causes disabil- ity comparable to that found in chronic medical patients.3, 4 Most people suffering from fa- tigue do not initially seek pri- mary care intervention but self- treat with stimulants such as caffeine, herbs, tonics and sug- ars. Although these can provide short-term increases in energy and perception of reduced fa- tigue, they have potential long- term adverse health effects.5, 6


Common disorders of the gas- trointestinal (GI) tract account for about 50 million visits per year to physicians trained in traditional allopathic or osteo- pathic medicine.7


This amounts


to 30% to 50% of all people with persistent abdominal symp- toms who seek help once their own experimentation with food selection and over the counter medications has been exhausted. Just as with patients complaining of fatigue, it is a loss of quality of life that most frustrates them.8, 9


Their symp-


toms might be an expression of a physical illness (e.g., Crohn’s disease), a mental illness (e.g., panic disorder), and/or a func- tional disorder. About half of all adults who consult a pri-


mary care physician or gastro- enterologist because of chronic abdominal discomfort for more than three months are ulti- mately diagnosed as having a functional bowel disorder. Loss of health-supporting GI bacte- rial symbiosis, a state known as dysbiosis, represents a primary trigger in both functional and pathological disorders of the digestive tract. Studies have demonstrated that intestinal dysbiosis, characterized main- ly by altered bacterial compo- sition and loss of diversity, is strongly associated with the development of gut dysfunc- tion.10


We will explain the mo-


lecular connection between fa- tigue and dysbiosis that pivots around mitochondrial health
