Mitochondria: The Power Source in South Sioux City NE

To go fast, you need a well-tuned, big engine. You need to take care of your mitochondria in South Sioux City NE.

Startling Facts:

• Lack of energy is one of the top symptoms people mention when visiting a doctor.
• The risk for fatigue in women is about 1.5 times the risk for men.
• The risk for people who do not exercise is twice that of active people.
• Lack of energy often indicates an underlying health problem.

Let’s imagine that the other three Systems have been working correctly to this point:

• The Structural System is supported with real food.
• The Digestive System breaks the food down into micronutrients.
• The Delivery System picks up the nutrients and delivers them to the cells.

Now that the cells have the nutrients they need let’s discover the Energy System where those nutrients are turned into energy.

The Energy System in South Sioux City NE

Research shows that most diseases today start with the dysfunction of the Energy System.

The Energy System takes the nutrients delivered to the cells and turns them into energy that powers all the body Systems. If this System is not producing adequate energy, all the other Systems will sputter. Consider what happens when a power plant goes down—the whole region is plunged into darkness.

This “power outage” often happens without an individual even knowing it. They ease into decreased energy production over many years and forget what having energy feels like. Look around. Everyone seems to be tired. Many patients come to me after seeing numerous health professionals for issues related to a lack of energy.

Without a healthy supply of energy, we cannot make proper decisions. As a result, every facet of our lives is affected — emotional, relational, spiritual, and physical.

If you constantly feel drained, more profound issues are probably happening beneath the surface — on the cellular level. Until you address these underlying problems, you’ll keep sabotaging your health efforts. Thankfully, you can reverse chronic weariness quickly with the 7 Systems Plan. You’ll discover how to increase your energy by up to 600%!

7 Signs That Your Energy System Is Working Against You:

1. Weight gain
2. Low energy, fatigue, or not feeling rested after a good night’s sleep
3. Brain fog or forgetfulness
4. Easily winded
5. Headaches
6. Loss of smell or taste
7. Just plain feeling old

Meet Alice

One afternoon, an overweight woman in her mid-70s shuffled into my office. Although she had a pleasant smile, there was no sparkle in her eye. In the first few minutes, she explained why.

In her own words, she had no energy. Although she often slept, she never felt rested. Alice had chronic conditions like elevated blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure. Moreover, her family had noticed her increased forgetfulness. She had a poor diet, did not take vitamins, failed to exercise, and did not know how to fix her problems.

Her medical doctor had a solution: prescription medicine. It started with one prescription and eventually increased to eight per day. Her reason for visiting me was apparent — she just wanted to “feel good again.”

She had all the signs of a malfunctioning Energy System.

Alice jumped into the 7 Systems Plan and began to make changes. After six months, her family doctor took her off all the prescription medications because she no longer needed them. Her blood pressure was normal, and so were her cholesterol, blood sugar, and thyroid levels. Her energy had increased tremendously, and she no longer needed to nap. She’d gained muscle and lost 43 pounds of fat.

Alice regained her youthful body in a very short time and started enjoying life. She’d been a widow for many years but began dating again. She told her family and friends, “I wish I had done this when I was 40.”

How To Ramp Up Your Energy System

Mitochondria are the key to energy, metabolism, weight, and health. Robust mitochondria increase exercise performance, muscle mass, and overall lifespan. If we have an abundance of optimally functioning mitochondria, we’ll have a fast metabolism and burn calories effectively. On the other hand, mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to aging, diabetes, heart disease, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, schizophrenia, and depression.

The body’s energy production process is called oxidative phosphorylation. This process produces adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which the body uses for energy. We could get bogged down in all this science, so let me simplify it.

The body takes in food (fuel), breaks it down in the Digestive System, and transports it to the cells. The nutrients enter the cells and are taken to the mitochondria.

Mitochondria are like microscopic power plants inside cells. They generate 95% of our energy. In these power plants, fat and carbohydrates combine with oxygen to produce energy that powers cells, organs, and the entire body.
