Why your diet fails: The cellular sabotage you never knew about

Is your body throwing a full-on tantrum that no amount of coffee can fix? 🥱

Ever feel like your cells are aging faster than your Amazon cart fills up? That's not just "getting older" — it's your MITOCHONDRIA sending an SOS!

Think of these little powerhouses as your body's own energy factories. When they're struggling, you get:

👉Skin that's aging faster than an unsupervised avocado
👉That 3pm energy crash that has you face-planting into your keyboard
👉Weight that won't budge no matter what you try
👉Hormones playing hide-and-seek with your sanity

Science shows our cellular energy production directly impacts EVERYTHING from how we feel daily to how quickly we age!

The frustrating part? Most doctors just check your TSH and Vitamin D levels (if you're lucky) and send you home with a "you’re the picture of perfect health" when your body is SCREAMING otherwise.

As someone who battled autoimmune Hashimoto's and other underlying conditions while conventional medicine just shrugged, I get it. That exhaustion isn't in your head — it can be in your cells!

When my condition was at its worst, I would literally fall asleep sitting up at my desk. My skin looked dull, weight kept creeping up, & my hormone panel looked like it belonged to someone 30 years older. Sound familiar?

The game-changer? Supporting those tiny cellular powerhouses instead of just masking symptoms. The research is clear: a single brain cell uses BILLIONS of ATP molecules every second! No wonder we feel so drained when our mitochondria aren't functioning optimally.

Here's my protocol to help optimize mitochondria function & reclaim energy & vitality:

*Always ask your doctor first before starting anything new!*

☀️ Sunshine Therapy

• Daily sun exposure (without sunscreen) for 5-20 minutes outside peak hours (start slow)
• This triggers mitochondrial melatonin production - a POWERFUL antioxidant!
• WARNING: If you've been consuming seed oils regularly, wait 6 months after eliminating them before LONGER sun exposure. The linoleic acid stored in tissues makes you burn like crazy!

🧪 Cutting-Edge Peptide Research

• Scientists are studying MOTS-c peptide for mitochondrial support
• This mitochondrial-derived peptide shows promise for metabolic regulation
• Can also present as an exercise mimetic
• Check out this fascinating research: http://translational-medicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12967-023-03885-2

💊 Professional-Grade Support

• CellCore BC-ATP is my go-to for clients needing serious mitochondrial support
• Only available through practitioners (raises hand!) & you can use my code to access this special supplement: CFsGrwBK
• Start slow! In clinical practice, BC-ATP is generally well-tolerated by sensitive patients & can help improve protocol tolerance, but still powerful. http://cellcore.com/products/bc-atp

⚡️ NAD+ Boost

• Niacinamide supplement. Ask your doc if 50 mg three times daily is right for you.
• Supports mitochondrial energy production pathways
• Enables proper cellular cleanup & renewal
• Nerd out on NAD+ for mitochondria inside this study: http://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4963347/

🧹 Environmental Toxin Detox

• Replace plastic food containers with glass
• Ditch chemical cleaners for simple vinegar/baking soda alternatives
• Create an EMF-free sleep sanctuary (at minimum: devices OFF or airplane mode!)
• Remember: these toxins directly disrupt your endocrine system and mitochondria!

🥩🥑 Ancestral Eating Blueprint

• Eliminate ALL seed oils (soybean, canola, corn, sunflower, safflower)
• Replace with animal fats like grass-fed butter, tallow, ghee
• Focus on seasonal produce + collagen-rich proteins
• Optimize carbs from produce & white rice (if tolerated) instead of eliminating them (carbs are important for mitochondrial function!)
• Bookmark free ancestral recipes from my blog archives here: http://primalsam.com/category/recipes/
• Need quality protein sources? I love

This protocol works from the INSIDE OUT. Instead of band-aid solutions, these steps can actually rebuild cellular infrastructure!
