What Are Cellular Energy Disorders In Erie CO?

Cellular energy is created inside your mitochondria-the tiny powerhouses in each of your cells. When mitochondria are overwhelmed, undernourished, or damaged, they can't produce enough energy for your body to function properly. This leads to fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, muscle pain, and more.

Common conditions linked to cellular energy dysfunction include:

• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME)
• Mitochondrial dysfunction
• Adrenal fatigue / HPA axis dysregulation
• Thyroid imbalances
• Nutrient deficiencies (especially B vitamins, CoQ10, magnesium)
• Post-viral fatigue (including long COVID)
• Blood sugar instability
• Toxin exposure (heavy metals, mold, chemicals)
• Chronic infections (e.g., Epstein-Barr, Lyme)

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME)

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a complex, often misunderstood condition characterized by:

• Unrelenting fatigue lasting longer than 6 months
• Post-exertional malaise (crashing after minor activity)
• Brain fog
• Unrefreshing sleep
• Dizziness or orthostatic intolerance

What causes it?

Research shows it may stem from a combination of mitochondrial dysfunction, immune dysregulation, nervous system stress, and viral or toxic triggers.

Our approach includes:

• Functional testing to identify imbalances in energy metabolism, nutrient levels, and infection markers
• Gentle pacing and nervous system retraining
• Mitochondrial support with key nutrients
• Immune and detox support to reduce the underlying burden on your system

Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Your mitochondria generate over 90% of the energy your body uses. When they aren't working well, every system in your body suffers. Mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to symptoms such as:

• Chronic fatigue
• Muscle pain or weakness
• Poor exercise tolerance
• Brain fog
• Low mood or anxiety
• Increased sensitivity to stress or illness

---

What causes mitochondrial dysfunction?

It may be due to oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, toxin exposure, nutritional deficiencies, or infections. Our strategy to rebuild mitochondria includes:

• Nutrients that support mitochondrial energy pathways (CoQ10, carnitine, B vitamins, magnesium, PQQ, NAD+ precursors)
• Reducing oxidative damage with antioxidants
• Balancing blood sugar and reducing inflammatory foods
• Targeted detoxification if needed

We also look at your Organic Acids Test (OAT) to assess the function of your energy pathways, neurotransmitters, and detox systems.

Toxin Exposure

Your body is exposed daily to environmental toxins-pesticides, plastics, heavy metals, mold, and more. When your detox pathways become overwhelmed, these toxins can damage your mitochondria and block energy production.

Signs you may be dealing with toxin-related fatigue:

• Chronic exhaustion without a clear cause
• Sensitivity to smells, chemicals, or medications
• Headaches or brain fog
• Body aches or joint pain
• Mood swings or irritability
• Difficulty recovering from stress or illness

We use a functional medicine detox strategy that includes:

• Identifying toxin load through history and possibly testing (e.g., heavy metal or mold panels)
• Supporting liver and cellular detox with herbs, nutrients, binders, and antioxidants
• Encouraging safe drainage and elimination through lymph, gut, and skin
• Rebuilding your mitochondria to support long-term recovery

Functional Testing for Cellular Energy

We dig deeper than traditional labs to understand why your body isn't producing the energy it needs. Key tests we may recommend include:

Comprehensive Blood Panels To assess:

• Thyroid hormones
• Blood sugar and insulin
• Iron, ferritin, B12, and vitamin D
• Inflammation (CRP, homocysteine)

Organic Acids Test (OAT) To evaluate:

• Mitochondrial function
• Nutrient needs
• Oxidative stress
• Neurotransmitters
• Detox pathways

Micronutrient Testing To uncover:

• Intracellular vitamin and mineral deficiencies (magnesium, zinc, B vitamins, CoQ10)

These tests help us understand what's blocking your energy and how to restore balance at the root.
