The Top 3 Uncommon Ways to Reboot Your Energy
Most people think of quick sources of energy when they're feeling run down like sugar, coffee, or energy drinks.
But very few people know the key to having energy all day long is a slow and steady source of fuel. Mitochondrial health is a key building block - and maybe you even remember the mitochondria from science class - which is the powerhouse of the cell. And each and every cell in our entire body runs off the energy from the mitochondria.
So, how does your mitochondrial health relate to dealing with complaints of low energy?
Well, most practitioners will measure the red flags of low energy such as thyroid red blood cells and vitamin B and D status and if they're normal, conventional medicine doesn't have much to offer! If the body system isn't broken, they can't fix it.
Even worse, some clients who see me were actually told to come back when their symptoms worsen! Could you imagine? The warning signs of fatigue, ongoing anxiety, and brain fog are often ignored. Functional medicine looks deeper into the interlinked body systems that are responsible for energy production, gut health, hormone imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, and the spiritual and emotional connection to energy. All of these things can impact the various systems associated with energy production including your mitochondria.
So that's why specialized functional medicine testing will help us discover the missing piece to your optimal energy.
Frequently, we reboot energy by addressing the following three commonly overlooked areas:
Restoring your gut health by removing bacterial imbalances
Balancing your stress hormones by calming things like cortisol
Adding a therapeutic food plan to calm general inflammation, to go deeper on the topic of cellular energy
