The Energy and Weight Loss Connection Nobody Talks About

People always wonder why they lack energy or why they cannot lose weight.   Well one large reason is it depends on how much ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) your mitochondria (our own power generators) create.  ATP is the universal fuel in the body and the common currency of all biological energy.  ATP allows us to move our muscles and provide the required energy for our organs.  We also need it to fuel the ion pumps in our cell membranes since they alone consume as much energy as all other bodily processes combined. 
All this can affect your healthy weight loss since you may not have the energy to commit 100% to your exercise for caloric burning workouts.
So what influences how much ATP your mitochondria create?  Your genetics, your exercise level, your nutritional status, your surroundings of electro smog, or an endocrine problem.  Of course you can’t change your genetics, but you dictate and control your exercise, your nutritional status, and how you control your electromagnetic surroundings.

So let’s talk about your mitochondria.  As you age, the number of mitochondria in your cells decreases in efficiency by about 5-8 percent every ten years.  That explains why you have less energy the older you get.   Two ways to reverse this is by 1) exercise and 2) by accurate pulsating electro-magnetic fields such as through the MRS 2000+.   Those who exercise or use the MRS 2000+ have more mitochondria, which mean more potential for energy and the ability to burn more calories for healthy weight loss.
Another factor that contributes to low ATP production is oxidative damage to the mitochondria.  A deficiency of antioxidants increases this rate of oxidative damage to the mitochondria.   Again your nutritional status and exercise contributes to this.
Due to changes in our food intake, eating patterns, and food production methods, many people are eating low iodine rich foods.  This correlates to an under functioning thyroid gland.  Those who suffer from this have a 60 percent reduction in ATP production.
Make a resolution right now to make sure you are providing the best opportunity for your body to produce ATP and optimize your body to assist with healthy weight loss.

BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy)

When I was asked about BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy) six years ago I couldn't tell you a thing about it! When I was in school you learned to replace estrogen in postmenopausal women and women who had their uterus removed, now, six years later I have a story to tell! I have been on a journey discovering the extensive benefits that "natural hormones" can provide to teens, women, and even men. I have seen baron women become pregnant, hostile women settle back into a life of happiness, and men earn their energy and sex drive back. When I was first presented with the idea of BHRT I simply dismissed the possibilities due to the many colleagues that tried to discredit it's relevance. Today I have seen first hand the lives transformed and am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with families to restore a hormone balance.

 

I look forward to meeting you and treating your hormone imbalances.

 

Sincerely,
