How endotoxins and mitochondrial dysfunction play a central role in the progression of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). Dr. Christopher Shade explains how endotoxins fuel chronic inflammation and cyst growth, while emphasizing the importance of mitochondrial health and autophagy in reversing damage. The discussion highlights how activating pathways like AMPK and sirtuins can boost cellular repair, alongside practical strategies such as ketogenic diets, fasting, targeted supplements, improved bile flow, liver support, and strengthening gut barriers to reduce endotoxin load and protect kidney function.
