Energy in Action by MitoAction

Matthew Cech has spent his entire life adapting to mitochondrial disease, but his story is about far more than the medical challenges he has faced. In this episode of Energy in Action, he shares his long diagnostic journey, from missed milestones and years of invasive testing to finally receiving a diagnosis of Complex I and III mitochondrial disease. He also opens up about one of the most harrowing chapters of his childhood, when a routine motility study led to sepsis, emergency surgery, a medically induced coma, and a month-long hospital stay that changed everything. Matthew also talks about living with a G-tube, J-tube, and ileostomy, the emotional reality of growing up unable to eat normally, and how much it meant to be supported by his family, school, medical team, and wider community. He reflects on the accommodations that helped him build a full life, the organizations that gave him extraordinary experiences, and the superhero identity he created for himself as “Mighty Matthew.” This is a powerful conversation about survival, perspective, and what it means to keep finding joy and purpose in a life that has asked so much.

Ryan Mendel is a graduate student in genetic counseling who has already immersed herself in mitochondrial research, clinical care, and rare disease advocacy. In this episode of Energy in Action, host Marcy Young speaks with Ryan about her path from a high school genetics class to working in the Mitochondrial Medicine Frontier Program at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where she conducted large-scale drug screening research and presented findings at national conferences. Ryan shares what it was like to witness both the lab side and the clinic side of mitochondrial disease—and how that dual perspective shaped her commitment to patient-centered care. Now completing her master’s degree in genetic counseling, Ryan is focusing her thesis on an often-overlooked group in rare disease families: unaffected siblings. She discusses how pediatric genetic diagnoses impact siblings emotionally, socially, and long-term—from feeling pressure to overachieve, to becoming young caregivers, to quietly carrying fear and uncertainty. Ryan explains her goal of creating practical, family-centered resources that genetic counselors can use to better support siblings from the very beginning. This conversation offers hope for the future of rare disease care and highlights the importance of treating the whole family—not just the diagnosis.

In this episode, Marcy welcomes returning guest Devin to unpack what happens after the diagnostic odyssey—whether you’ve received a genetic answer or are still in limbo. Devin, a genetic counselor, breaks down what GCs actually do (and how they differ from physicians), why ongoing check-ins matter even years after testing, and how evolving science can change what your results mean. She explains reanalysis, mosaicism, and why new symptoms or improved technology can justify another look. They also dig into life without a confirmed variant: how to advocate for broader testing, realistic paths to specialty care, the pros/cons of clinical trial eligibility, and why belonging to the mito community can still be validating and useful while you search for answers. Devin shares practical tips for accessing genetic counseling beyond major centers (including telehealth), navigating insurance, and timing reanalysis so it’s most likely to help. What you’ll hear: Genetic counselors 101: scope, training, and how they complement your care team Why post-result follow-ups matter: updates, trials, family planning, and changing guidance Reanalysis timing, tech improvements, and edge cases like low-level mosaicism Strategies when testing is “negative” or inconclusive—without losing support or momentum Access options outside big clinics, including virtual care and multi-disciplinary programs Learn More About MitoAction Visit MitoAction’s Website – https://www.mitoaction.org Follow on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/mitoaction Follow on X (Twitter) – https://twitter.com/mitoaction Follow on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mitoaction Connect on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/mitoaction

Duke senior Matt joins host Marcy Young to share how maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) has shaped his family—and his path in science. Matt describes the different ways MIDD shows up in his mother and two maternal aunts, from progressive hearing loss to diabetes and vision concerns, and how the pandemic’s masking made communication harder when lip-reading was no longer possible. He walks through their decision to pursue cochlear implants—the screening, surgery, the “switch-on,” and the hard work of relearning sound—and why that main symptom, while jarring to treat, has been life-changing. Matt also explains how his mom’s cochlear-implant work-up at the University of Pennsylvania unexpectedly led to genetic answers for the whole family, while highlighting the access and cost barriers that keep many patients from timely diagnosis. Beyond his family’s story, Matt talks about the research it inspired: studying mitochondrial biology alongside health policy to understand how hearing loss affects education and employment. He shares why he’s aiming for an MD/PhD to improve care for people like his mom and aunts, and reflects on living with uncertainty as a twin whose generation may or may not develop symptoms. This conversation is candid, thoughtful, and ultimately hopeful—proof that personal experience can fuel better science and kinder systems.

In this episode of Energy in Action, host Marcy Young talks with mito patient Karen Richtman about the healing power of her therapy dog, Hugo—a gentle, long-legged Labradoodle who became both her companion and her partner in service. Karen shares how living with mitochondrial myopathy shaped her search for a calm, trainable dog; the difference between service dogs (task-trained for one handler) and therapy dogs (owner-trained to comfort others); and how she bonded with Hugo, trained through a formal 12-week class, and earned certification to visit libraries, youth programs, and in-home respite and hospice settings. Karen also explains how she sets boundaries (like masking during COVID surges) and tailors visits around Hugo’s sound sensitivity—opting for quiet spaces, small groups, and kid-led “read to the dog” or scavenger-hunt activities. At home, Hugo senses Karen’s hard days—sometimes lying gently across her to calm pain and fatigue—and out in the community he “bridges the space” between disability and possibility, giving Karen a way to volunteer sustainably. She recounts a moving hospice visit where Hugo carefully climbed onto a patient’s lap—and later curled beside him in bed—offering simple, unforgettable comfort. If you’ve wondered whether therapy-dog work could fit life with mito, Karen’s story shows how a well-matched dog, thoughtful training, and clear boundaries can create meaningful connection for others while supporting your own well-being.

Mental-health therapist, mom of two, and newly diagnosed CPEO patient Talia joins host Marcy Young to share the winding, often infuriating path that finally put a name to her drooping eyelids, crushing fatigue, and stubborn back pain. She recounts how a “lazy eye” noted in theater head-shots snowballed into years of misdirection—optometrists, ophthalmologists, a false alarm for myasthenia gravis—before a neurologist labeled her condition but offered no guidance. Together, Marcy and Talia unpack why securing genetic testing, specialty care, and even a simple referral can feel like trench warfare when you have a rare mitochondrial disease. The conversation ranges from parenting with unpredictable energy, “hundred-thousand-dollar mouths” (severe dental problems common in mito), and ADHD-like brain fog to the science linking chronic stress and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) with health outcomes—spotlighting Gabor Maté’s When the Body Says No. Committing to radical transparency, Talia vows to chronicle each step of her quest for a mito specialist and a full genetic work-up in future episodes, offering listeners a real-time roadmap for self-advocacy and resilience.
