We don’t always think about our body’s function on a small cellular scale, but sometimes it’s very worthwhile. Take, for instance, optimizing for your mitochondria.

Mitochondria are “small bodies” within your cells, they are the energy factories of your cells.

Mitochondria are responsible for producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the body. If mitochondria aren’t functioning properly, your cells aren’t fed. All of the energy you make stems from these tiny machines. Each cell has around 2000 mitochondria. (See: Mitochrondia Energy)

Diet, lifestyle, and environmental toxins can all stop the mitochondria from functioning properly, leaving you ill or fatigued.

Some contributors to mitochondrial damage include environmental toxins and toxins in your food, poor diet that includes refined carbohydrates and added sugars, etc. The result could be inflammation, and other conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, infertility, or neural degeneration.

To restore optimal function, consider a regimen that avoids packaged, processed foods and take healthy supplements. As well, incorporate light exercise and proper breathing.

As with any cell in the body, healthy Mitochondria need specific nutrients to work right – especially vitamin B1 (thiamin) and magnesium. These two nutrients are the main fuel igniters and act as the spark plug that allows your food or stored fat to be burned as energy.

Mitochondria Energy contains two food-based non-synthetic versions of B1 (thiamin). We have added a third special version of vitamin B1 called benfotiamine which is fat soluble so it can penetrate your organs more deeply. Benfotiamine is able to penetrate brain and nerve tissue 25 times more than the water-soluble version of B1 can.

Both vitamin B1 and magnesium are vital in protecting, supporting and maintaining mitochondrial function. They are co-factors or helper nutrients essential for enzyme function. There are many things that cause deficiencies for these mini-factories, the most common being the typical high-carbohydrate diet that leaves your cellular energy reserves empty.

Our Magnesium and Potassium Krebs Cycle Powders are designed to enhance absorption and utilization of nutrients by the body.* These Krebs Cycle minerals are included in Mitochondria Energy to assist the chemical pathways of energy within the mitochondria.

*SPECIAL NOTE: The Krebs cycle is the common chemical pathway for converting carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into chemical energy. The body uses about 95% of these key nutrients in energy production.

We have added alpha lipoic acid, one of the most important and powerful antioxidants, to help counter free-radical damage of the mitochondria.

We have included natural vitamins and minerals from non-GMO fruits and vegetables, while keeping the carbohydrates very low. These nutrients help support a synergistic approach, to ensure your cells are getting what they need to produce energy.

Nutritional yeast is included as a food-based source of additional B vitamins, trace minerals and amino acids.

80% of American's are Insulin Resistant and Don't know it. What that means to your health.

Insulin is key to health and disease prevention, and controlling your carbohydrate intake is the most effective way to control your insulin level and optimize your insulin sensitivity
An estimated 80 percent of Americans are insulin resistant, even though their glucose levels are normal, and thus undiagnosed, placing them at increased risk for chronic disease
A low-carb ketogenic diet addresses the endocrine aspect of metabolic health, effectively driving your insulin level down, and as your insulin decreases, your metabolic rate increases
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway controls autophagy and plays an important role in aging and cancer. While protein primarily activates mTOR, and therefore needs to be restricted to just what your body needs, insulin, which is increased by sugar and refined carbohydrates, activates mTOR to a far greater degree than protein
Aside from a ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting — where you do not eat for 16 to 18 hours a day; 12 hours being the absolute minimum — is another effective way to regain your insulin sensitivity and control mTOR

Topically - applying to the skin, or diluting the essential oils with a carrier oil if they need to be diluted.
Aromaticslly - breathing in the oils with a diffuser = the easiest way to get the benefits.

Ingesting - swallowing them. The oils with the white label are the dietaary line They are safe to ingest and non-GMO verified.

Have you noticed that most health articles are concerned with stopping a disease that the person has, or attempting to prevent a disease - which is actually stopping disease before it happens. And it all sounds scary.

What about we take our attention away from just fighting disease and start working towards health to create a healthy body.

Do you want to stop an infection after one starts, or just have a healthy immune system that prevents infections from happening?

The body runs on protein, carbohydrates and fats and 40 other nutrients that cannot be made in the body. These are 15 vitamins, 14 minerals, 10 amino acids & the essential fatty acids. The nutrients you need that cannot be made in the body all come from food.

What do you use to build a healthy body? Food. Sometimes if you can’t get enough of the nutrients you need from food, you might have to supplement. But you would do that with whole food supplements, not the artificial type that is made in a laboratory.

There are diets for overall health as well as diets for specific health issues. See below. But addressing an issue and then continuing to create health eliminates the need for special diets in the future.

Improve your diet & eat wisely – this is the best and least expensive form of "health insurance". Building health is a lot more fun than trying to stop disease.

Tingling is an abnormal sensation that can occur anywhere in the body. It is most often felt in the fingers, hands, feet, arms or legs. It can be defined as a prickling, stinging sensation. It is more often called "pins and needles" or of a limb "falling asleep". It is also referred to as paresthesias by the medical profession.

Most often tingling is temporary and the result of pressure on the nerves such as when you sleep on your arm or cross your legs for too long. It is soon relieved by removing the pressure that caused it.

In some cases, however, tingling can be severe, and can be chronic. It can also be accompanied by other symptoms such as pain, numbness, and muscle weakness. In these cases, tingling is a sign of nerve damage, or neuropathy. Tingling can become burning and pain.

Neuropathy can be the result of injuring a nerve due to trauma, pressure on one the nerves of the spine such as a slipped or herniated disk, repetitive stress injuries, bacterial or viral infections, chemical toxicity, vitamin deficiencies caused by medications or poor diet. Diabetes is the most common cause and effects 60% of diabetics. The high blood sugar causes the nerve damage. There are many causes. For a list go to Causes of Neuropathy.

Finding the cause of neuropathy will enable you to eliminate the reason for the damage, and stop more damage from happening. This can be getting a spinal adjustment from a chiropractor to take the compression off of a nerve (as carpal tunnel syndrome or spinal misalignment). If you have diabetes, you can get control of your blood sugar. Finding out what deficiencies you have and correct them. For each cause, there is something that can be done to stop further damage.

What to do about the nerve damage that is already there?

Sometimes if the damage is not too bad, giving the body time to heal will eliminate the symptoms, but all too often, the body is missing the nutrients in the quantities it needs to make the necessary repairs.
