Mitochondrial Function for Reproductive Health Takes Centre Stage at Peak Complementary Medicine Industry Conference.

Women’s Health High on the Health Agenda as Calls for Health Equity Increase.

Fertility Linked to Mitochondrial Function and Antioxidant Ubiquinol in Men and Women.

A new scientific review published in the Journal of Translational Medicine has uncovered the importance of mitochondrial function in supporting reproductive ageing, emphasising the role of mitochondrial health as a key pillar of women’s reproductive and general health.

The review reinforces how mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to the gradual decline of oocyte (egg) quality and ovarian reserve, while also underscoring mitochondria’s significant role in energy production, managing oxidative stress, and regulating intracellular signalling – all essential processes closely tied to reproductive health.


Amid these new findings, Australia’s leading and globally respected clinician, Dr Leah Hechtman PhD, will take centre stage at the Complementary Medicines Australia (CMA) Innovation Day in Sydney on 14 May to present the emerging science behind mitochondrial function and role in supporting women’s health across all life stages and fertility.

Dr Hechtman will also discuss the role of ubiquinol, the powerful endogenous antioxidant that supports mitochondrial function, energy production and optimal health.

“A woman’s health across the lifespan is closely linked to the vitality of her mitochondria – organelles that serve as the energy centres of every cell” explained Dr Hechtman.

“However, modern lifestyle factors such as stress, exposure to environmental toxins, sub-optimal nutrition, persistent fatigue, hormonal fluctuations and the demands of a fast-paced daily routine can progressively compromise mitochondrial efficiency, potentially affecting overall fertility, vitality and wellbeing,” she added.

“Mitochondrial health is foundational to how the body regulates and responds to hormonal changes,” Dr Hechtman continued. “Recent scientific insights are reinforcing the importance of supporting cellular function, especially as it relates to fertility and overall health in women.”

“Ubiquinol, a naturally produced compound in the body, plays a central role in mitochondrial energy pathways by facilitating electron transport for energy production, also known as ATP,” said Dr Hechtman.

“Ubiquinol levels in the mitochondria start to decline naturally after the age of 20 as the body’s endogenous production of ubiquinol decreases and the cells are exposed to higher levels of oxidative stress, impacting the energy production in the cells of our body and affecting mitochondrial health. For women, this is significant as efficient cellular energy production underpins key physiological processes such as hormonal production and regulation- both essential components of overall reproductive health”, Dr Hechtman concluded.

Simple lifestyle habits such as eating a balanced whole-food diet, as well as getting regular physical activity and quality sleep can help support mitochondrial and hormonal health in women. Managing stress and limiting exposure to environmental toxins are also key contributing factors for long-term cellular vitality.

Dr Hechtman’s session at the CMA Innovation Day 2025 will explore new research, while also highlighting the complexity and simplicity of mitochondrial health management. By prioritising mitochondrial support holistically, practitioners are laying a strong foundation to support women’s overall reproductive systemic wellness.
