EP: 0097. Tired? Chronic Conditions? IMPROVE YOUR MITOCHONDRIA!

Conventional Medicine....

Understand the healthcare system we have - lots of confusion.

It's not complicated to be healthy.

The more we specialize,  the more sicker we become.

Currently we have more than 135 different healthcare specialties.

Go to your PCP - lead to several referrals.

We get lost chasing symptoms with all these specialists.

Mitrochodia Dysfunction

Mitochondria - The most important part of the cell.

Tiny factories that Live inside your cells

Their job is to turn your Food into entry

Glucose into energy

Work well - Feel and function great

Not working well you are exhausted.

Where's the urgency?

Root cause of all diseases is metabolic function.

The trunk of the tree is M. F.  The branches are the condition, symptoms

All Cells have mitochondria, except RBC -  if it slows down, cell become dysfunctional, results in pathologiesAnything affecting your mitrochondria is affecting your metabolic health

Mitochondria are responsible for producing 90% energy within your body. When your mitochondria don't receive the instructions they need from your body's DNA to make energy, it can damage your cells or cause them to die early. This affects how your organs and organ systems function, which leads to symptoms of the condition.

It's the powerhouse of every cell.  Every tissue and packed in your muscle.

But remember that the mitochondria operate in the presence of oxygen. We need adequate oxygenation of the body for healthy mitochondrial function, and part of that will be the transport of oxygen via the red blood cells, which rely on vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folate and iron. We want to ensure that we are digesting, absorbing and assimilating those nutrients appropriately because that will contribute to mitochondrial function.

Mitochondria Dysfunction - Drives disease

5 Top Signs your Mitochondria is Damaged?

  1. Chronic Fatigue related disease (from Disease and Trauma). M - Slow downs
  2. Brain Fogs - Brain has the most dense M Cells
  3. Chronic Pain - Every things aches, or central pain areas
  4. Affective Problems - Depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances.
    1. As brain is stressed, neurochemistry becomes imbalanced.
  5. Impaired, slowed down -Detoxification - Elimination - Cellular Metabolic Garbage
    1. The slower your mitochondria are, the more backup you are going to have.

You need a steady flow of M. F. to make your brain work.

Healing Mitochodria

Reduce Toxins, environments,  chemical, etc...

Exercise (Sitting 80% of the day)

Sleep patterns.  sleeping 25% less

Intermittent fasting

B Vitamins (B3)

Trace Minerals

Better Nutrition - Eat clean no ultraprocessed foods, trans fats, fructose

Cacao Beans - 2 chocolate squares per day (Cacao Nibs = No sugar

Nitrate rich Veggies (Beets are the easiest.). 1/2 lbs per day 2-23 hours before exercise,  or 1 lb per day to feel superhuman.

  • Beets - 1/2 lb beets. Nitrate
  • Makes Mitrocondria more efficient.
  • Make exercise easier
  • 19% increase.

CoQ10 and cellular Energy (ATP)

According to the CDC, the number one causes of death is heart disease.

But it was discovered in the 1980s that people with CHF had very low levels of CoQ10.

So researcher's started giving these patients coq10 and the pumping power of the hear increased by 10%.

Anti-oxygen - CoQ10 fuels the mitochondria energy production process called oxidative phosphorylation 

The result a more powerful and efficient pump

Step 1 - Analysis your metabolic health

You have already done these tests in the past - in your records.  Probe a little deeper.<<
