More children are showing adult-style burnout—early. In this episode, Brandon breaks down why kids and teens drift sooner today (food systems, screens, stress, sleep loss), what to watch for across ages (infants→teens), and how to respond without panic or pressure. You’ll learn how the gut–immune loop, mitochondria, circadian cues, and the nervous system interact—and how small inputs (light, meal timing, fiber/butyrate, sleep windows, calm connection) can flip biology back into regulation.

Episode 032 — Gut vs. Mitochondria: How to Know Where Your Symptoms Are Coming From
Is it your gut—or your mitochondria? Picking the right starting point can save months of effort. We map gut-driven vs. mito-driven patterns; how butyrate and mitochondrial signaling cross-talk; and how layered drift happens. Then we teach you to triage with patterns (meals vs. exertion, fasting response, stool changes) and a minimalist set of tests (stool panel, zonulin, calprotectin; OAT, lactate:pyruvate, HRV; plus ferritin, B12/MMA, hs-CRP, fasting insulin/glucose). 🎯 Take the Drift Quiz: ...
