About The Cellular Cost of Standard Care | The Negative Side-Effects of Commonly Prescribed Medication
This educational activity examines the metabolic and cellular consequences of three widely prescribed drug classes: statins, metformin, and proton pump inhibitors. It explores how these interventions can deplete cellular substrates, disrupt mitochondrial function, and impair downstream physiology, while presenting evidence-based support protocols and therapeutic alternatives.
Course Overview
- Duration: 1 hour
- Key Learnings: Differentiate the pathogenesis and salutogenesis clinical frameworks and apply the Health Optimization Medicine model to identify medication-induced cellular deficits in patient care.Identify downstream metabolic consequences of HMG-CoA reductase inhibition, including CoQ10 depletion, impaired steroidogenesis, and disrupted protein prenylation.Evaluate mitochondrial and nutritional costs of metformin therapy, including ATP depletion and Vitamin B12 malabsorption.
Stories from our community

I really enjoyed the Clinical Metabolomics course because it’s well-organized, with each module focusing on cells and how different factors like toxins, gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and energy production affect them. The course doesn’t just explain these issues but also offers practical solutions for improving cell health.
