# Are you.....

Feeling tired or foggy? No energy to go to the gym?  t’s possible your mitochondria could need a boost.   Mitochondria are the energy factories of your cells, so if they aren’t working great, neither will you.   Keep reading for tips all about how to improve your mitochondrial health!

Top Clues Your Mitochondria Need a Boost:

- Tiredness
- Poor Exercise Recovery
- Muscle Aches
- Brain Fog
- Insulin Resistance
 

Why cover up symptoms when you can treat the cause?   In functional medicine, we go to the cellular—or even the sub-cellular level—to the mitochondria.   The payoff is better energy, more stamina, mental clarity, a healthier metabolism, and even more graceful aging.

## Better Mitochondrial Function Means:

✅ Better Energy

✅ More Stamina

✅ Mental Clarity

✅ Healthier Metabolism

✅ Graceful Aging

#### Antioxidants

You want to know the BEST way to protect your mitochondria from toxins and damage?

See, the thing about mitochondria is that they contain their own DNA that is separate from the DNA in the nucleus of our cells.   It’s packaged differently so it is less protected and more susceptible to damage than cellular DNA.

This is why we need ANTIOXIDANTS.

Antioxidants shield against free radicals and oxidative damage to keep our mitochondria in top shape to produce energy and keep us feeling good.

##### Top Antioxidants for Mitochondria:

- Resveratrol
- CoQ10 (CoQ10)
- Acetyl-l-Carnitine
- Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA)
- Lifestyle

Want a healthier metabolism, energy, and focus?    Your mitochondria can help.

One of my favourite ways to boost mitochondrial function is HIIT or High Intensity Interval Training.

###### Boosts for the Mitochondria!

✅ High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

✅ Intermittent Fasting

✅ Cold Exposure
