Mitochondrial Health

The body’s innate intelligence plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular health, particularly through the regulation of proteins and mitochondria. When insulin levels drop, the body enters a state of autophagy, allowing for the breakdown of dysfunctional proteins and the creation of new amino acids. This process is essential for repairing cellular structures, especially mitochondria, which can become damaged due to oxidative stress. If not properly maintained, mitochondria can lose their ability to efficiently burn fat, leading to metabolic inflexibility.
