[Research Update] Metabolism & Mitochondria

Research Update!

If you’ve been following along my posts about mitochondria, you already know they are essential for energy & metabolism.

Here’s a new research review that links mitochondrial health to insulin resistance, high cholesterol, obesity, and…

☠️ environmental toxins ☠️

It goes like this:


Toxic exposures create free radicals in the body → which damage mitochondria → which disrupts metabolic health.


So, what can we do?

We can start by minimizing our exposure to chemicals in everyday products, like plastics, cosmetics, cleaning supplies, and air fresheners.

Then we can boost up our detox abilities by drinking lots of water, eating lots of veggies, and sweating.

And when you’re ready to really kick metabolic issues to the curb, we’re here to help.

Benefits of Looking Under the Hood…

Quick Question 👇

If you heard a rattling noise coming from your car engine, would you crank up the radio to drown it out or take it to the repair shop to fix the cause of the noise? 

I’m guessing you’d want to get it fixed. Am I right? 

Then why is it when it comes to our bodies and our health…so many people choose to cover up their symptoms rather than figure out the cause? 

In functional medicine, we look under the hood 🚙 

And when it comes to correcting the source of the problem, we work to optimize function on a CELLULAR level. 

Or even subcellular—like the mitochondria. 

This is part 2 out of 4 in my series of posts on mitochondrial health, and what I want you to take away is this: 

When we support the mitochondria, we optimize the function of the body from the inside out. That means…

✅ Better Energy

✅ More Stamina

✅ Mental Clarity

✅ Healthier Metabolism

✅ Graceful Aging
