1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Could a simple mineral deficiency be driving mitochondrial dysfunction in autism? In this episode I sit down with Melissa Atchley from MitoSynergy to hear her personal story of using BioCopper1 with her son on the autism spectrum — and the changes she saw that no one expected. I break down the science behind it: Dr Richard Frye's research showing Complex IV dysfunction in children with ASD, the brand new April 2026 Science Advances paper linking copper deficiency directly to ASD-like behaviours through mitochondrial damage and impaired myelination, and why the type of copper matters — Cu1+ vs Cu2+ — more than most people realise. We also cover MitoSynergy's new MitoActivator MAX (4x the strength of the standard formula), the hair greying reversal angle, athletic performance benefits, and practical dosing guidance. If you or someone you love is navigating autism, fatigue, grey hair, or just wants to understand why copper might be the most overlooked mineral in health — this one is worth your time.
