Each month I take on one client with confirmed primary mitochondrial disease, at no cost.
There’s just one spot a month, and it’s first come, first served.
A pro-bono commitment Every month, I work with one person who has mitochondrial disease, at no charge.
If you or someone you love is living with primary mitochondrial disease, you already know how lonely the
road can be. Years of specialists. Tests that come back inconclusive. A diagnosis that finally has a name,
but no clear map for what to actually do, day to day, to feel even a little steadier.
I’ve spent my career reading the body as a single energy system, the same machinery that mitochondrial
disease disrupts. I can’t change your genetics, and I would never claim to. But I’ve seen how much room
there often is to support the parts of your metabolism that nutrition, movement, rest, and careful
monitoring can still reach. Sometimes that’s the difference between running on empty and having a little
margin back.
Why this one is personal.
My daughter has primary mitochondrial disease. I’ve sat in the waiting rooms, watched the specialists come
and go, and seen up close where even good medicine runs out of answers. The tests that find nothing. The
appointments that end with “let’s wait and see.” The long stretches where you’re left to manage the
day-to-day on your own, with no one looking at the whole picture.
That experience changed how I work. It’s also why, every month, I set aside one full spot, with the same
assessment and the same hands-on coaching my paying clients receive, for one person with confirmed primary
mitochondrial disease. No cost, and no catch. It’s a small way of giving another family the kind of careful
attention I wish we’d had sooner.
Who this is for.
The pro-bono spot is for you if you have a confirmed diagnosis of primary mitochondrial disease (genetic or
biochemically confirmed) and you’re looking for support alongside the care of your medical team,
not instead of it.
Not sure whether yours is primary, or still working toward a diagnosis? Add your name anyway, and Chris,
our co-founder, will help you figure out where you stand.
To be clear about what this is: it’s coaching and education focused on your metabolic
capacity, meaning your nutrition, movement, and daily rhythms. It is not a treatment or a cure for
mitochondrial disease, and it does not replace your neurologist, geneticist, or metabolic specialist.
Think of it as another careful set of eyes on the parts of your health that everyday habits can still move.
What the spot includes.
The person who gets it receives a full three-month engagement, the same one my paying clients get. Nothing
is scaled back because it’s free.
- A full metabolic assessment.
The labs standard care skips, plus a close read of your nutrition, your training, and two weeks of your
real wearable data, so we see how your body actually behaves day to day.
- One plan built around your numbers.
Everything read through metabolic capacity, then turned into a clear plan sequenced in the right order
for your body, not a protocol off a shelf.
- Three months of coaching and check-ins.
Regular reviews and adjustments across the engagement as your numbers move, with my team reachable Monday
through Friday for your questions along the way.
Andrew Reid The person clinicians learn from
I’ve spent my entire career on both sides of the same problem: caring for patients and clients directly,
and teaching the science of metabolic health to the clinicians who treat them. Mitochondrial function
sits at the center of everything I teach, because it sits at the center of how the body makes and spends
energy.
I see every client personally, which is exactly why I can only offer one pro-bono spot a month. It keeps
the assessment thorough and the coaching genuinely personal.

This is a coaching and education program. It is intended for informational and educational purposes and is
not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it does not replace care from your physician or qualified
healthcare provider. Mitochondrial disease requires ongoing care from qualified medical specialists; this
coaching is intended to complement that care, not replace it. Always seek the advice of your physician or
qualified healthcare provider with any questions about a medical condition. Individual results vary.
