Mitochondria is a Clinical Lever for Whole-Person Health

Mitochondria are more than the “powerhouses” of the cell — they are central to sustaining energy, regulating redox balance, and maintaining physiological resilience throughout life. As research in this field advances, mitochondrial function is emerging as a pivotal focus in integrative medicine, influencing patient outcomes across multiple health domains, from cardiovascular and cognitive performance to fertility and healthy ageing.

Kaneka Ubiquinol™ is proud to be a Gold Sponsor of the NIIM Symposium 2025, taking place 11–12 September at the Amora Hotel Riverwalk in Melbourne. Marking its 10th year, the symposium has become a flagship event for practitioners committed to evidence-based integrative healthcare — bringing together GPs, specialists, pharmacists, naturopaths, and allied health professionals to share insights, research, and clinical applications that bridge conventional and complementary medicine.

A Program Grounded in Science and Clinical Application

As integrative medicine continues to shape the future of healthcare, this year’s program promises both scientific depth and real-world relevance — offering clinicians actionable insights that can be applied directly to patient care.
One of the highlights of the two-day agenda will be a session by Dr Denise Furness (PhD), a respected researcher and educator in nutritional genomics and integrative health.

Powering Cellular Health: Clinical Applications of Ubiquinol for Mitochondrial Function and Healthy Ageing
Friday 12 September | 2:15–2:55 pm

In this session, Dr Furness PhD will examine:
• The role of mitochondria in sustaining cellular energy, antioxidant defence, and healthspan
• How Ubiquinol supports mitochondrial bioenergetics and redox balance
• Evidence-informed nutrition and lifestyle strategies relevant to integrative care

She will also share findings from her pilot study, highlighting how targeted interventions — including Ubiquinol — can support mitochondrial and cellular health, reduce biological age, and enhance healthspan.
For clinicians seeking to optimise patient outcomes through a deeper understanding of mitochondrial health, this is an opportunity to connect emerging research with practical, real-world application.

Connect With Us at NIIM

Across the two days, the Kaneka Ubiquinol™ team will be available at Stand 5 to engage with delegates on the evolving science of Ubiquinol and its relevance across a range of integrative health applications.
We look forward to contributing to this milestone event and to continuing the conversation on how mitochondrial health can inform the future of evidence-based integrative practice.
