The official MitoAction podcast is a monthly call often with physicians who are experts on mitochondrial disease. Mitochondrial disease occurs when the mitochondria(the powerhouse of a cell) are unable to effectively generate energy during food metabolism. Approximately one in 4000 adults and children have mitochondrial disease ("Mito"). MitoAction is a non-profit organization dedicated to support, education and advocacy for the mitochondrial disease patient community.
