MITOCHONDRIAL THERAPY
WHAT ARE MITOCHONDRIA?
Mitcochondria are tiny organelles inside every cell that are commonly referred to as ‘power houses’ or an engine of car. 95% of our energy is produced by our mitochondria, and as every bodily function requires energy, we need to take care of them.
MITOCHONDRIAL HEALTH
Free radicals (FR) are natural biproducts of biochemical processes and 90% are produced by mitochondria. FR’s are oxidants and lead to something called oxidative stress leading to inflammation and cellular ageing. Poor food choices, stress, lack of exercise and pollution all contribute to oxidative stress and challenge our healthy mitochondria. Old mitochondria hang around for longer and new ones aren’t as readily produced. Unhealthy mitochondria contribute to the development of chronic health complaints, inflammation and accelerated ageing.
TIRED ALL THE TIME (TATT)
Fatigue is THE most common presenting symptom that I see in clinic. Its nonspecific, meaning it could be due to a whole host of reasons, however, its a sign your mitochondria have slowed down to conserve energy that’s become depleted due to an internal or external stressor.
If you feel you’ve tried absolutely everything, health complaint or not, and you feel your energy is on the floor then it’s likely the health of your mitochondria is getting in the way of your ability to produce the right amount of power to make you well. When taking a client case history, I always enquire about the health of their mother. Whilst we inherit DNA from both sets of parents, mitochondria have their own DNA, which gets passed down exclusively from mother to child.
MITOCHONDRIAL THERAPY
Modern living means many of us spend far too long in ‘fight or flight’ which has lasting repercussions for cellular health. Mitochondrial therapy combines cutting edge technology with a patented supplement protocol that enables intracellular healing and repair.
A sophisticated Vericard Heart Rate Variability screening first measures an individual’s internal stress response and hormone activity. Both give me an indication of how well the immune system is working. The screening is noninvasive and takes five minutes to complete. By combining the results of the screening with a client case history, I’m able to recommend the right protocol aimed at providing the mitochondria with the power to support health.
PROTOCOL
L-carnosine is a protein found largely in our brain, heart and skeletal muscles. Whilst meat and fish are natural sources, L-carnosine from foods and standard supplements, has difficulty getting into and staying inside our cells. After years of research on behalf of cosmonauts, Russian scientists were able to formulate a nutrient complex that protects against accelerated cellular ageing whilst in space.
This complex is now available to you via a superior form of L-carnosine with higher bioavailability and antioxidant capacity. This patented formulation increases cellular energy, strength and endurance; chelates heavy metals and eliminates toxic metabolic biproducts; improves heart health and neuro transmission; aids weight loss by providing you with enough oxygen to effectively burn fat; and balances hormones and the stress response.
ANTI-AGEING
Although mitochondrial theory of ageing was first discussed as early as 1940, we now understand that mitochondrial dysfunction is the root cause of many chronic diseases and contributes to the ageing process. Numbers peak when we turn 16 and see a significant decline when we hit 50.
This specific form of L-carnosine offers the potential to regenerate at a level your years of age wouldn’t normally allow. Whilst over the counter L-carnosine stays in the body for 1.5-2 hours, this formulation remains for 12 hours providing 10 hours more cellular regeneration.
IS THIS FOR ME?
Health and wellbeing are determined by the presence of CELLULAR ENERGY. Mitochondrial therapy is for ANYONE wanting to slow the process of cellular ageing and increase their energy. Whether you’re a stressed out executive; dealing with a complex set of health issues or a busy mum; you’d benefit from a Vericard screening and targeted protocol. Mitochondrial therapy is safe for children and is particularly effective for those children who on are an autistic spectrum. Get in touch for further information.
