Mitochondria are the energy factories inside every cell. If you don’t have enough vitality, or you fatigue easily after exercise, or have post viral fatigue / long covid, it may be because your mitochondria are not producing enough energy for your needs. Some cells like your muscles, heart cells, and brain neurons have many mitochondria to support the essential work they do. Ageing, and all chronic disease are accompanied by loss of mitochondrial efficiency. So, the question you may be asking is can I improve my mitochondrial energy production?
How can I support Mitochondrial Energy Production?

How can I support Mitochondrial Energy Production?
- Eat an anti-inflammatory diet (inflammation damages many cell structures)
- Fast between dinner and breakfast for at least 12 hours, to stimulate mitophagy
- Aerobic exercise, like brisk walking with hills for 30 minutes daily, to stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis
- Co Q10 in the form of Ubiquinol is used by the mitochondria to produce energy, and may improve vitality (statins are known to deplete CO Q10)
- Acetyl-L Carnitine transports raw materials into the cell for energy production, and may be useful in energy drop due to ageing
- D-Ribose is a substrate for energy production, and may help in post exercise fatigue or post viral fatigue
- Nicotinamide Riboside is a substrate for NAD, which is useful for stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial energy production
- Minimize stress and clear emotional baggage from the past - these drain your energy big time! We use Kinesiology to assist you with doing this
