Did you know that many children with Autism Spectrum Disorder show signs of mitochondrial stress—lower cellular energy, excess oxidative stress, and imbalanced calcium handling? A 2024 review in Molecular Psychiatry calls mitochondria “central players” in ASD and even suggests autism may, in part, be a mitochondrial condition.

What we do at Harvest Wellness:
1️⃣ Comprehensive SNP Testing – We look at nuclear and mitochondrial variants (think SOD2, POLG, PPARGC1A & more) that can tip the balance toward higher oxidative stress or sluggish energy production.
2️⃣ Targeted Lab Levels – Strategic lab testing gives us the objective data we need to craft truly individualized plans.
3️⃣ Personalized Action Plan – Targeted nutritional cofactors, antioxidant stacking, and lifestyle tweaks to boost PGC-1α-driven biogenesis—every recommendation is mapped to the child’s unique genetics and lab data.
4️⃣ Collaboration with Therapists & Physicians – We integrate genetic findings with speech, OT, and biomedical programs so families get a seamless, team-based approach.
✨ Why it matters: Better mitochondrial output can translate to steadier moods, improved focus, and more resilient energy for learning and play—exactly what our ASD kiddos need to thrive.
