When your cells are tired, so are you...

Look around. Most of us are overweight, and schlepping around a coffee or energy drink, just to make it through the day. 

Or maybe you’re a health nut like me, cooking your own food and avoiding sugar, but you’re still tired all the time and can’t figure out why.  

The truth is that your billions of cells need to have energy for you to feel energetic. 

And those cells are starved for energy thanks, primarily, to toxins in your environment that are blocking your cells from being able to produce energy.  

So let’s learn a little more about how your cells make energy, how that process gets disrupted, and how you can take a shortcut to restore your energy quickly. 

But First, My Story

For many years, I was eating well, going to yoga class, and going to bed by 10 PM. 

However, I still had daily afternoon exhaustion. I would usually have to resort to eating a sweet snack or having a strong cup of tea to make it through my afternoon slump.  

I tried adaptogenic herbs, sea salt water and a million other remedies, but that fatigue did not go away. As a health coach, it was very frustrating.  

Little did I know I was also living in a house with toxic mold in that time period, for about 10 years! That mold was damaging my ability to produce cellular energy.  

The toxins from the mold, like most toxins we are exposed to, damaged my cellular mitochondria-- the energy producers of our cells.

The Transformation

Then a colleague mentioned MitoQ to me. I honestly don’t know why she even mentioned it; maybe because she knew about my mold exposure.  

Ever curious about health hacks, I contacted the company. When they suggested I open an account and make an order, I backed a step up. 

You see, I had spent ten of thousands of dollars restoring our damaged home and working on our family’s health, and I had become cautious. I had bought plenty of supplements that seemed to do nothing. But I tried a one month supply.  

At first I took the MitoQ sporadically (not recommended!) but then I took it daily each morning.  

Without even realizing it, my habit of afternoon tea and chocolate had disappeared.

When I ran out of my sample bottle, I could really feel my lack of MitoQ! I craved caffeine again. I got spacey in the late afternoon. It was no good.

I have been studying and practicing in the health field since the year 2000. I even worked in a supplement store, y’all! And this is supplement I’m most excited about, and plan to take the rest of my life.


Mitochondria are a part of each of your cells and do an important job. Mitochondria make energy, called ATP, for your cells to function. They also boost overall efficiency of your cellular functioning, thereby increasing your metabolism.  

The mitochondrial health of each cell determines the performance of that cell. Is the cell doing a fantastic job, or a so-so job?


Mitochondrial Disease Symptoms  

The symptoms of mitochondrial dysfunction can be quite varied. But there are some common symptoms, and I’ll focus on those:  

  • Fatigue
  • Foggy thinking
  • Poor memory
  • Can’t lose weight
  • Chronic pain
  • Chronic allergies
  • Poor digestion
  • Loss of muscle  
  • Premature aging
  • Cardiovascular issues

 

What Causes Mitochondrial Disease? 

You may have noticed that many of the above conditions are attributed to ‘normal aging.’ While it’s true that mitochondria decline with age, we can influence this ‘inevitable decline.’ More on that in a bit!  

Mitochondria aren’t naturally well-protected. They have a weak, vulnerable membrane. Mitochondria can be affected by a number of toxins and poor lifestyle choices. 

Secondly, as your mitochondria produce massive amounts of energy, they also create massive amounts of waste products, called free radicals, that can damage the mitochondria. 

So how can you support your mitochondria?  


You just learned that mitochondria make free radicals as they make energy, which can damage them. What prevents that damage? A very special antioxidant called CoQ10!  

You may have heard of CoQ10 as a heart supplement. Here’s why.  

Mitochondria are in every cell of the body, so they help each organ do its job. The heart is an extremely hard-working organ, beating every second! That beat takes energy, so heart cells are loaded with a higher-than-average amount of mitochondria to pump that blood.  

So taking a CoQ10 supplement protects damage to that mitochondria that we so desperately need for a healthy heart. And, every other cell in your body wants its mitochondria protected!  

A 2011 article in the Journal of Pharmacy and BioAllied Science reported,  

“CoQ10 is found throughout the body in cell membranes, especially in the mitochondrial membranes, and is chiefly abundant in the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreas, and adrenal glands. The whole body content of CoQ10 is only about 500-1500 mg and decreases with age. Coenzyme Q10 is one of the most significant lipid antioxidants that prevents the generation of free radicals and modifications of proteins, lipids, and DNA.”  

By supporting all the organs in your body, CoQ10 can help prevent early aging, support detoxification and prevent food cravings.


Not all CoQ10 is created equally!

That cheapo CoQ10 from Costco is not getting the job done for you. As with any supplement, it’s not how much you take, but what you absorb. The typical supplement form of CoQ10 has a hard time actually entering the cell wall and getting to the mitochondria.  

MitoQ a highly bioavailable form of CoQ10.  

MitoQ® is a shortened form of the antioxidant CoQ10 with the addition of an ion called Triphenylphosphonium, which gives it a positive charge. 

These two modifications create a duel effect:  

  • MitoQ® is small enough to pass through the normally impermeable mitochondrial membrane
  • MitoQ® is instantly attractive to the negatively charged mitochondria.

About Bridgit

I’ve been practicing acupuncture since 2004 and providing functional health coaching since 2012. In that time, I’ve performed more than 12,000 treatments, helping women of all ages and stages get back to their best selves.  

As part of my clinical work, I love to look at the whole picture of a woman's life, and I’ve found addressing the stress of a dead-end job or an uncommunicated feeling is often as important as finding the right herb or supplement.  

But it wasn’t until I lived through the experience of toxic mold illness that I started to comprehend the HUGE effect toxins have on our hormones and our wider environment.  

It nearly broke me.  

I developed Epstein-Barr Virus, insomnia, and had severe mood swings. And, the overwhelming fatigue gave me the urge to go to sleep forever.  

The symptoms would ebb and flow, and I regret beating myself up for not being ‘healthy enough’ when I actually had an unknown or poorly understood source of illness.

The result of this experience led me to make a huge change in my life – moving my family from Portland, Oregon (the rainy North West of the U.S.) to Phoenix, Arizona (the desert).  

And, it’s now become my mission to help women like you uncover and understand the effect that toxins like mold and chemical compounds can have on your body, so no one has to continue to suffer these debilitating symptoms.  

Many of my clients choose me because they’ve attended one of my online health summits (we’ve hosted more than 60,000 women) or they listen to my award-winning podcast, Women’s Wellness Radio.  

If that’s why you’re here, then you already know that I’ve interviewed hundreds of experts about a whole range of women’s health issues, and that I have advanced training in functional medicine and toxins.  

Sometimes, we don’t see the answer to our health issues without a little bit of help.

For the past 10 years I’ve been searching for answers around my digestive and hormone health. I live an extremely clean lifestyle and have tried so many doctors and supplement protocols but I was still fatigued and plagued with digestive issues. 

A few months back, Bridgit suggested we do a heavy metals test and found out I have very high levels of mercury which is an underlying cause of what had been holding my health back for years. Thanks to Bridgit, I now have a clear path to detox the mercury and get back to feeling like myself again. - Jaclyn
